Saturday mornings just aren't what they used to be. Customer's Solidarity!

You have to understand what this means here in NH, MA and ME. It is so crowded in these stores that my friend and I won't even venture near here on any Saturday. Customers are honoring the Market Basket boycott until the old management is re-instated.

4. You know what's great about this?

The managers are outside right along with the workers protesting this. I saw customers on the street outside MB in Haverhill waving signs this morning.

5. An important point about the value of Market Basket's pricing in relation to other stores'.

"This protest is not just about MB employees and customers, nor is it just about defending what's right in supporting a great, generous, loyal and humble man ...Something most people don't understand is that this is not just a Market Basket customer problem. Every Supermarket chain in New England keeps a close eye on Market Basket's pricing, particularly on staple items that everyone buys. If MB stops the price pressure it will be a free for all for all stores resulting in a regional inflation for everyone. Even if you aren't a MB customer, this man, his team and his company has benefited everyone in New England in one way or another! Everyone should show a great deal of respect for his will to refrain from falling into the allure that leads to greed but rather puts his heart and soul out there to do what is right and fair!!! BRING BACK ARTIE T!!!!" -Susan Laramie

May this spread!

10. If only people would do the same to Walmart.

Plenty of good reasons to boycott Walmart as well. When I see all the people going to shop there as I pass by, it becomes clear to me that our economic problems are just as much a self-inflicted wound as they are something that is done *to* us.

If only...

12. Market Basket in Seabrook

is empty too. That store is packed all the time except some mornings during the week and now it's almost empty. Even the conservatives in my family are boycotting.

13. New England is undoubtedly the most progressive area in the country. I wish THAT would spread

15. I know, I am so glad I live here!

I feel more at home in most European countries than I do in certain areas of the US.

[smirkymonkey]

14. This is great!

It gives me new hope! K&R for recognition for all the striking employees out there today!

16. Holy crap

I have NEVER seen a non packed MB parking lot unless it was closed.

17. What time was this photo taken?

Looks like early morning. Our equivalent store here in the west, Safeway, has very few cars on Saturday mornings until after 9 am.

Did the lot stay this empty all day?
