On Sunday at Superstore on Dougall a young girl picketing and giving out flyers was called a "fugly b***h" and an "uneducated f**k" by a couple leaving the store. She is 17 and just graduated from highschool. Everyone is talking about the negative treatment of customers by staff however some of the customers are being extremely unkind and deliberately provoking as well. I agree that alienating customers is not going to win any battles however customers should not feel that it is open season to say anything they want to picketers either. There has to be respect on both sides. A little known fact about the contract, this is the first time in history a Loblaws contract has had to include language about customer abuse, something that has sadly become more prominent and aggressive from some customers. Also, most of the younger kids aren't the ones treating customers badly, they are intimidated by this whole situation and have been far less vocal. I have over 40 hours on the picket line this week and have actually been told by customers they appreciate how polite I am and the approach I've taken. I have not mistreated anyone but I do give out flyers and inform customers as well as answer questions to the best of my ability. What I simply cannot tolerate is kids being picked on because they are easier targets. If you feel you have been mistreated please ask for a picket manager/ captain but please refrain from hurling foul language at kids. If you wouldn't talk that way to your child or grandchild please don't to the kids picketing.

I was down at the river this morning and I saw someone I have not seen in a long time, it was my old high school principal. I just wanted to say you have been spotted and you are a great person hope to see you down there again miss K!!

oh and my teacher from mason I wanted to spot you as well

I put my keys on the counter while filling my pop. An older lady put her bag down on my keys my only set of keys for house and car and once she got her order picked them up with her purse and walked out. It's on the video surveillance and she paid cash so there's no way to find her.

To the Middle Flagger (there were three) at the construction on Wyandotte Street West between Janet and Caron Avenue with the Blonde Hair.
Yelling at a driver and giving hm the MIDDLE FINGER is not very professional. If I knew who your employer is I would have reported you. I know you get frustrated - totally understand, but he needed/ wanted to turn into the alley - possibly to get to his garage or his business. His wife had gotten out of the van and crossed the street, he was trying to follow with his vehicle.
Your rudeness, language and body jester were NOT acceptable.

Today on Sandwich Street, I spotted a female police officer that had pulled over to either make or recieve a call on their cellphone. This actually impressed me as other officers drive and talk on their phones alot. I just wanted to say thank you!

To the lady who crossed the picket line at Walker Road and then felt so awful she brought out McDonalds gift cards to purchased pop ice cream etc for the strikers, Thank You

I don't agree with anyone crossing a picket line at all unless they absolutely have to. Let me say I have not and will not either. But as we were driving past the tecumseh on Lauzon, I was explaining to my husband everything I was reading online about zehrs employees who were actually harassing people as they were walking into the store. I explained (before passing the store) that everyone has blown this up and these people need the community support while saying that...the car in front of me must have said something to the employees picketing because all of a sudden this woman got up and stuck the finger to this car for a good minute. CLASSLESS, CLASSLESS, CLASSLESS. if you cannot respect yourself and your co-workers and you are going to let someone's remark make you act that way???? Maybe your better off sitting at home. Respect yourself and the cause so people will stand beside you.

On Saturday night, I left my Iphone 5 in vets cab around 3:00 am. I realized I left my phone the second the cab drove off, I called the cab company right away and the cab driver was not picking up his phone. I called back today and the company said he still has not answered his phone. I NEED my phone back because it has pictures of my daughter from when she was first born.
