DENVER — Although the number of King Soopers' employees on the picket line Saturday afternoon was dim in comparison to Thursday's crowd, empty parking spaces were a sign of the ongoing strike.

A handful of employees striking gathered at the entryway of the King Soopers at the intersection of E 14th Avenue and Krameria Street in Denver, asking customers not to cross their picket line.

For some, it worked.

Denver7 spoke with customers who chose to shop across the street at Safeway instead, many of them making a last-minute trip ahead of Super Bowl Sunday.

1. I don't think the stores in my area are union but I won't shop there anyway.

Safeway has a better produce department, anyway & the doors on the donut cases all work, unlike Soopers.

2. I wish we had a King Sooper nearby...

...so I could boycott it, lol. Instead I'll take this opportunity to remind folks that grocery self checkout undermines the work of store employees. Don't use self checkout!
