Well, the Day of Slight Irritation on Wall Street is a dud, so nutcase nadin is still in search of the next apocalypse foretelling the fall of the American Empire. Meanwhile, she's been obsessed with a contract dispute among checkout clerks at some San Diego grocery stores. For some reason, she thinks it's of interest to someone outside San Diego. It's not, of course, but nutcase is so comical it makes it all worthwhile.
Note that if you read the script and understand the script, anyone can do this. A comical nadinesque thread, in five easy steps:

Updated: Grocery Store Talks Continuing Past Deadline
Update - According to Mike Shimpock, spokesman for UFCW Local 770, talks will continue for a few hours more.
Original Story"
With a 7:10 p.m. strike deadline approaching, prospects don't look good for the ongoing grocery-store-worker negotiations.

Oh, no! This is awful! Catastrophe! Apocalypse! Checkout clerks on strike!
Step 1: Interpret the news:

1. My opinion... they made some headway
and the fact that they did not get many scabs and there is actual support...
Support your local bagger.
Step 2: Insert imaginary fact:

7. Their threat came from something else
they did not get enough scabs to operate.
Wait til you hear how nutcase gained that knowledge.

9. It's the only explanation I can think of, because unemployment here
is sky high. Either that, or now they will try to tell us "Americans won't do the work" and start hiring illegal aliens.
Step 3: Insert bouncy here:

11. Over heard[sic] a conversation that I did not connect dots
until I got home... from the manager, He was complaining that they'd not have 'nough[sic] workers. That upper management, aka above store level, would get it soon.
It was odd that he chose to have it in front of mere shoppes[sic] by the way.
No, it wasn't odd. It was imaginary.

10. That shows some level of solidarity that is holding, despite high unemployment numbers.
The fear is that high unemployment generates large numbers of scabs.
Step 4: Insert new buzzword, courtesy of the good folks at google:

12. Or just jelling, I think it is part of a changing zeitgeist
DUmmy kestrelnumbers suggests a new apocalypse - famine in San Diego County:

8. We have so many Ralph's markets around here, if they closed them all
in a strike I am not sure where the hell people would buy their food. Everybody else would have to take up the slack, and the lines would be hours long. And foods would run out PDQ.
Step 4: Insert today's nadinism:

17. Kroegers[sic] is the parent company
Nutcase nadin, the Word Butcher of Skins's Island, cannot even spell "Kroger".
Step 5: Despair at the ignorance of the news media, except Keef and the Munch:

18. Local nooz, all is normal
and the newsies have no clue what is going on.
Oh progress, but no agreement yet (translate this I do not think they want it)
Oh and SDSU Bidness professor, will not happen, everybody will have a lot to lose... rough paraphrase.
This is the same guy who said they would not have any support all but two weeks ago.

Isn't the line at Walmart already an hour long?

Nadin should help the poor starving people......and open a grocery store.

Using "[sic]" liberally is sure to lend credibility, and an illusion of superior intellect! :bs:

Those were Gobucks highlights for pointing out Nadin's constant battle with American English. Nadin is either one very poor speller, or a complete fool.
I vote is that she's a complete foolish idiot.

I have no idea what the hell she was saying in that whole piece. I don't understand the bouncy, I don't get any of it. Is San Diego starving or not? We need BFDU to give us a report. Assuming he didn't waste away over the weekend.

I heard they had plenty of "shelf stable" milk there, so he should be okay. :whistling:

So help me, I had to nadin something.
Nough
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nough (Persian: نوق) is a small village in Rafsanjan, in the province of Kerman in southern Iran. Its main source of revenue is pistachio cultivation. Rafsanjani, the ex-president of Iran, was born in this village.

Of course not, because all 175,000 DUmmies have enforced a boycott of WalMart!!!! :lmao:

That is assuming the "starving" denizens of San Diego actually give enough of a shit about a useless bagger union that they wouldn't filet the striking retards and eat them instead.

It's hard to imagine a more eminently-replaceable, unskilled job than 'Grocery bagger.'

I think he may actually have more trust invested in his position than baggers do, at least the theater is counting on him to not just sneak in everyone he knows. The most harm a bagger can do is swipe a candy bar.

Except for DUmmy baggers. If the customer is a Rethug, they put the eggs underneath the canned goods.

Nadin will survive this. She is somehow able to obtain cheese and meats from stores where they are (per her) currently unavailable.

I totally disagree. there is more to any job then we know who have never done it..
Did You know that Baggies for high end grocery stores have to take a 60 minute class in bagging what to put where how to convince the customer needs you to bring grocery's to the car and give them a good tip.
Some baggies have a natural talent for the job, they know darn well heavy stuff should not be placed on Bread. No fresh meat placed in with raw vegetables no cleaning products packed with fresh meat and no Drano in with salad vegetables.
With no Baggies about, the check out person bags it and they just seem to scramble for anything to pack up to the point of ---have you ever come with a 30 pound plastic bag about to break full on canned goods?.
Baggies are very important in grocery stores. One spends $150.00 for food and cleaning items, customers can get right feisty when the bagging has messed up $10.00 of the items one buys.
All jobs, even the people paid to sweep the parking lot of a store has to have some training. Where and how he can sweep, foreign object found should he sweep them up for disposal or be told and instructed on what to do with discarded syringes, used rubbers, car oil spills that ---EPA-----Store is in big shit when someone sees these violations.
There is no job too low to work at, except Pimps and some Politicians., and a dozen of Clergy that haunt my TV on Sunday.
You got me going here GOBUCKS, Many of these jobs you look down on are done by the Handicapped, the retired and young kids wanting to start life off with a few bucks in the bank. What does it matter what their Political views are, their religion or place of birth. some do one heck of a fine job earn their pay.
Some are give a darn folks that only have what they consider a Demeaning job but cannot wait to get another one. Little do they know that they may someday be paid a living wage as long as they demean themselves.
A baggier, a street sweeper, checkout people, the folks that bust their ass in a burger joint or drive to your home to deliver a pizza-------All deserve the same respect one shows to a Boss, a Judge, a Senator, or the Clergy when meeting them on the street.
Don't forget the unpaid workers that stay home, home school the kids, cook, clean and work on stand by 24/7 to help out a Church or working with the homeless.
Not all the unemployed are lazy not all are Democrats, And a question for you.
Why would a democrat be working anywhere much less bagging your grocery's?????

No, they are not. They are just a convenience to those who are too lazy to bag their own groceries. When we shop at Food 4 Less, there are no baggers. You get to do your own bagging, your own way. I wouldn't mind bagging my own groceries at other stores either. Some of those baggers like to put as much as they can in one bag, making a plastic bag way around 15 lbs. It pisses me off since I have to trek all the bags from my car and then upstairs. We end up rearranging our groceries in the parking lot.

I believe you and the wife use the same bag boy.

The Walmart and K Mart have the cashiers bag items here, and the grocery store we go to most , you bag your own.

A grocery strike is no problem in California.
The sidewalks are filled with fruits and nuts.

(A.) Yeah, bullshit, it's thinking like that which turns garbage men into sanitation technicians, and (B.), believe me, I'm no stranger to shit jobs ncluding farm labor at what was then half the legal minimum wage, and even that was semi-skilled in comparison to bagging groceries.

At the grocery store I most ofen use, nearly all the baggers are, uh, "challenged", or whatever the current politically correct, adequately sensitive term is.
I'm glad to see they can be gainfully employed, but wonder, does their bagging disqualify these unfortunates from disability benefits, to which they would otherwise clearly be entitled? I assume it does, which makes their effort on the job even more admirable.
-
I shop at military commissaries from time to time. The baggers there are volunteers who work for tips-only.
-
Oh lord..
This happens all the time at our area's two main supermarket giants - Shaw's and Stop & Shop. (I don't know if these are national chains or not.. they might only be regional) - The contract expires, they strike, 'scabs' come in, and then the strikers settle.
There is nothing earth-shattering about this process at all.. :whatever:
-

Show me ONE grocery store chain where the baggers are allowed to accept tips. I can tell ya right now, Shaw's, Market Basket, and Hannaford's all have policies specifically prohibiting allowing accepting tips.
And a 60 minute class? Hon, we have safety briefs at work that last longer. DAILY.
-
I used to shop late so every time I would go the store there would only be one cashier with the personality of a dirty sock working with no bagger counting down the minutes until closing time. I always bagged my own stuff just to get out of there in a reasonable amount of time. I did it just as well as a "trained" bagger.
-
The son of one of our friends won the state grocery bagging tournament a few years ago.
I am serious, they have bagging competitions.
He went to the national championship, where he lost. They had some world-class baggers there.
I have no idea howt the competition is conducted, but it's high-level grocery bagging.

Yup, all kinds of contests for most any manual job one can think of and just foolish stuff, who on earth makes good money eating more hot dogs then someone else. Lots of training involved and I usually put my money on that 90 pound Black Widow to take home the prize.
Lumber Jack contests, these are fun.
Cooking show contests Iron Chief started that fad.
Dog athletic contests that are awesome.
OLD Time feats of bodybuilding and weight lifting.
NY has a contest with bar maids that have to wear high heels and run down a street carrying a big tray with Martini glasses full of water.
I myself are waiting for a pump off between different company's that work with septic tanks.
