interesting. Don’t suppose you have a link or anything.
No. I just worked at a Vons in California, got paid minimum wage and was forced to join a union and pay dues.

There was no news story or link. Sorry.

When I was in high school I recalled that the cashiers at supermarkets were in a union and they got paid something like $19 an hour back then. But that was just he cashiers.

I had a supermarket job that paid less than minimum wage, I had to pay dues, and it was part of a school apprenticeship program if you wanted to work legally at the age of 13. Couldn't work more than 3 hours after school, and more than 8 hours a day on weekends. So if you hit 20 hours(I think, or 18, I don't remember the exact rules, this was 1990) , you had to pay dues. I did that for 2 months before finding another job where I lied about my age and got paid more and promoted faster. I also had an extremely broken family situation where I had to take what I could get.

Drivers that tailgate. Need to get off their fat ass and leave earlier. Should be legal to shoot them.
Lord knows that I hate agreeing with you, but I agree with you here. If Allstate commercials have taught me anything, it's rarely the guy doing the tailgating that gets into the accident.

When someone tailgates me I just take my foot off the gas. They go around eventually.

Here they are busy with their phone and slowing down is a risk to your vehicle. If I'm in my 1 ton I brake and slow down to 35 from 65. Cars bounce off huge old work trucks and they get the ticket and a fucked up front end.

Me, "Ok, the ceiling is painted, and the walls are prepped. Do you know which color do you want to go with?"

Her, "I'm still deciding, don't rush me."

Me, "You've known about this for 12 weeks now."

Her, "You're making me upset."

Me, "Here's an idea: why don't we wait until the kid can talk, and then he/she can choose the colors?"

Her, "Go fuck yourself."
