When you union bust like trader Joe's you can lower your prices.

It’s not that TJ is cheap. It’s more so Eastside market is ridiculously overpriced.

Or you think it's overpriced because you are used to places that undercharge because they don't pay thier employees fair wages.

Yeah no, it’s overpriced. And full of expired food.

I mean they're cutting their employees hours so maybe that's not the best argument.

Yes this just shows how inconsistent people can be especially on this sub, at least in the aggregate. There will be a thousand upvotes for something like Seven Stars unionizing. Then when there's an opportunity to shop at a unionized supermarket everyone complains that it's too expensive so why would they do that when Whole Foods (AMZN) is down the street?

This. I use S&S because they're a union store. I can afford to vote with my wallet a little, so I do. Stuff that I can get cheaper elsewhere I get elsewhere. I recognize the luck in that, but also like. I thought RI was the cradle of solidarity
