THANK YOU for summarizing my thoughts too! I read the recent letter with disappointment as well. I, too, would not cross the picket line and had to find somewhere else to shop. While doing so, I noticed that those stores did not have the same quality products or workers that I enjoy at Raley’s. Certainly worth paying more for.

I have been at points in my life where looking for the cheapest prices was a priority, and shopping at a Walmart was a necessity. But, I’m not in that place anymore and I really appreciate being able to shop at a nice, quality store that carries the better quality foods I prefer in the Placerville area. Were it not for Raley’s here, I might have to consider traveling much further. I’m glad that the workers are fighting for their rights. I’m willing to pay more, but not willing to cross that picket line.

Let’s be glad the strike is over so we can go shop there again!
