There are different corporations involved. Windmill Mushrooms has been retaliating & refusing to bargain with workers who want to organize in the #PNW - those are subject to #Boycott
Glad to know there's a supplier using #Union #Labor
Gonna look for a place to buy that brand#Safeway & #FredMeyer in #Tacoma both sell Windmill 😒
What's disgusting?

Fred Meyer completely f'd up their interface.
Old: Start My Order was pages of choices.
New: It's a small side-scroller on a page with other side-scrollers and ads.
My old one was like 4 pages deep. Images and text were twice the size. I'm supposed to one-at-a-time this as if I'm on a cellphone?? How many damn hours do you expect people to spend scrolling through what used to be on a flat page??
Wtaf. Well, I guess FM wants us to search for new grocers, like they're the Bluesky of turnips. This may be my last order from them.
I haven't been to Safeway's site in a while. I wonder how bad it is now.

Filing: #Kroger paid #CEO $19M in 2022, typical worker almost $29K
by Alexander Coolidge Cincinnati Enquirer
May 12, 2023"Kroger CEO #RodneyMcMullen got a 5.7% pay raise in 2022 as his compensation package climbed $1 million to $19 million, according to a corporate filing Friday morning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
"The head of the nation's largest supermarket retailer was paid $18 million in the previous year, according to the Associated Press' methodology for executive compensation that excludes pension value changes.
"The typical worker got an $1,800 pay raise, climbing 7% in 2022 to $28,644. The ratio of McMullen's pay to the median Kroger worker – as required to be reported by the government – was 671 to 1, a decline from the ratio of 679 to 1 in the previous year.
"Kroger earned a $2.2 billion #profit on sales of $148 billion last year. In 2022, Kroger contended with higher costs as inflation soared. Overall inflation eased in 2022, climbing 6.4% - slower than 7.2% a year earlier. But the cost of food purchased at #supermarkets and #supercenters rose at a faster rate: 11.8% - the worst calendar year increase since 1978, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Also last year, the grocer proposed acquiring rival #Albertsons in a $25 billion takeover bid that regulators at the Federal Trade Commission are mulling whether to approve or fight.
"In addition to Kroger stores, the Cincinnati-based grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including #FredMeyer, #HarrisTeeter, #Ralphs, #Marianos, #Frys, Smith's, #KingSoopers, #QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs 430,000 workers."

I wonder how mad people would be if I just parked my #EV in front of gas pumps and left it there…

Proposed #Kroger #Albertsons #megamerger affects future of #FredMeyer, #Safeway, #Vons, #Osco, #Food4Less, #HarrisTeeter #QFC stores too. Together, the two chains operate approx 5 thousand of consolidated #RetailStores under varous #BrandNames across #US and have annual revenue of more than $209 billion.
#AntiTrust issues arise everywhere, with nearly 200 #grocerystores between them in #Oregon alone, many within a mile of each other. State Attorney Generals have sought to block the massive #merger, but everyone knows #BigMoney talks loudest.
To meet #FTC requirements this week the chains announced plan to #divest at least 400 #stores to a single #SoftBank backed holding corp that operates #PigglyWiggly
