May 2012

My first job after the paper route, was working at a Safeway as a box-boy on the same street as what was Safeway Headquarters in Oakland. it was also my first union employment a couple of years later. My sister also worked about 20years for them in the office.

To day I sent an email saying that I will never shop again at Safeway.
