Wisconsin grocery stores warned to watch for stickers protesting Gov. Scott Walker supporters
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 01:42 PM by The Northerner
MADISON — The Wisconsin Grocers Association is warning its members to be on the lookout for opponents of Gov. Scott Walker who are planning to deface some products in grocery stores on Sunday.

Walker opponents have urged consumers to boycott companies that have donated to the governor’s campaign.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported there’s a current effort to expand the boycott nationally by placing stickers on products in grocery stores. Among the targeted products are Johnsonville brats, AngelSoft toilet paper, Sargento cheese and Coors beer.

In a statement, Wisconsin AFL-CIO president Phil Neuenfeldt says his organizations have not encouraged any boycotts.

The grocers group has created a sign for stores to post alerting people that placing stickers on products in stores is illegal.

9. Some people's indignation seem to be triggered only by acts that follow a certain pattern.
If you know what I mean.

2. Sargento Cheese is a Walker supporter?
:(. Guess I'll be switching to another brand. I've always bought their cheese, except when they were advertising on Glenn Beck. I started buying it again when they quit advertising on his show.

Please don't tell me Cabot's of Vermont has a sordid political history, because their Seriously Sharp cheddar is mouth watering.

4. Seriously good cheese.
If you ever want to stock up on cheese try a 5(lb.) block from the Cuba Cheese Shop. http://www.cubacheese.com/detail/cuba-extra-sharp-cheddar-86.cfm No supermarket brand can compare. It has lots of flavor but not as dry as most supermarket brands. (I'm not a big fan of Cabot's seriously sharp so for what it is worth.)

3. Put stickers on the shelves next to the price, put flyers with the products on the doors.

14. Perhaps you could offer people a list of what, products, specifically they shouldn't sticker
so they're absolutely, positively, sure not to do it.
