1. I'm anxious to get back to MB. Sick of shopping at S&S and paying a lot more.

I am glad this is settled and hope the best for all the workers who worked so hard to make this happen. The restocking will be quite a chore but I bet there will be smiles on the faces of all the workers.

I will wait a week before going. Everyone I know is a MB customer. On an 'off' day the store is crowded. I can't imagine how hectic the first few reopening days will be.

It would be smart merchandising if the stores that benefited from the strive lowered their prices to try and keep the dollars and customers they made from this strike.

Aside from the higher prices, one of the places I shopped during this strike is half department store, half grocery store. I shop for food at the market, not books, lawn chairs, BBQ's and the tons of other space-taking items. Maybe if these other stores would stick to regular grocery items like food and sundries, they might be able to lower food prices to better compete.

Cheers to MB employees.
