Hell Hath No Fury

1. I am very, very torn on this issue.

We had a Fresh and Easy move into our neighborhood a few months ago, in an old supermarket site that had been vacant for some 7 years. Before their opening, we had only a few, small corner markets to shop at in the neighborhood -- to find a large supermarket, we had to drive over to another neighborhood entirely. And that market was a Safeway (which is Union) and far, far too expensive for me to ever shop at on a regular basis. As a working class person struggling to make it in a very expensive town, good food was becoming a luxury for me. With Fresh and Easy in the neighborhood I am eating better than I have in years, and I am doing it on a budget. It kills me to read these labor stories, but I have crossed the local picket line so I can eat well. I'm not proud of it, but there you are.
