The Somerville Market Basket

The Somerville Market Basket this afternoon was a pretty sad place -- employees outside telling shoppers not to shop there; signs all over the store inside urging us to write to various e-mail addresses for the CEOs and independent members of the board of directors; produce shelves nearly empty except for bananas; dairy cooler aisle starting to visibly thin out in products like yogurt and cottage cheese.

The packaged goods in the middle of the store still looked reasonably well-stocked, and the bread aisle was quite full.

I left without buying anything, even though I needed orange juice and they still had that. I'm not going to shop in a store when the employees are asking me not to.

I'm pretty sure not; people were talking about boycotting because of it, and other people pointed out it was the other side of the family.
