[QUOTE="CL82, post: 3262459, member: 44"]
A grocery near where I lived changed chains.  The incoming chain hired all new employees.  The wife and I were at party and everyone was outraged!  Outraged, I say!

Well, not at first.  It was a classic example of the "repercussion and intensification' phenomena.  It started with a comment, escalated to disappointment and finally stopped at...OUTRAGE!  They all promised to boycott the store which was the closest by far.  People were getting all self-congratulatory about their mini-activism and then someone asked me "CL, what do you think?"  My answer was "I think the boycott will last exactly until someone need a gallon of milk at 7PM."  Everyone stopped was about to protest and then thought about it and said a quiet "yeah."  Kind of a mood killer.  (The lovely Mrs. 82 knowing that this was inevitably coming had already eased herself into another room before they asked me what I thought.)

So I'm with you husky429 100%, well until the line is shorter (or non-existent, as it often is) at self-checkout.  My momentary enthusiasm wouldn't survive a extra 30 second wait in line.
