Price of Milk

[mrsalvo]

A coworker told me it was over $6.00 a gallon at Walmart. She asked someone there and was told it went up because minimum wage went up. Egg over $2.00 a carton. Whoever knew??!!

hmm.....

At our local heavily unionized Kroeger (they're called QFC's here) you can get three half-gallon containers of milk for $5.00, or a gallon of milk for $3.75 (and that's the non-"advantage card" price).

Our equally unionized Safeway has milk (not on sale) for $3.69 a gallon. Heck, even the gas station up on the corner (which is most definitely NOT unionized) has milk for $3.80 a gallon.

It doesn't sound like the minimum wage hike has affected them much. Or they're not using it as an excuse to gouge the people who shop there.

Pick an excuse, any excuse. That's all it is, an excuse.
