However, I don't normally eat at these fast food places. BK once in a great while and I do have a friend that picks up a cup of coffee at McDonalds for me about once a week. So if they need to survive on my business, they are pretty screwed.

I agree with the sentiments expressed that we need to do what we can to support our fellow union members and with the ones that it's hard to remember all the places we must boycott to do so.

Folks need to do the best they can, get through the day and not feel guilty because they had to shop at a Wal Mart, buy lunch at Mc Donalds or did what they needed to do.
