You should talk to your union rep. He will be able to answer all your questions or direct you to someone who can.

I love my H-E-B. I really missed it when we were in SOMD.

I hear this all the time around here. Lusby is not far from SFW. 13, 14 miles maybe? The other day someone at the bar couldn't believe I drive across the bridge to work. I asked him where he lives at in was a farther drive to the bar from his house then my drive to work. Im not trying to flame you Bronwyn its just people around here have different views on what far is.

Where at in Texas? Can I come visit? LOL I miss HEEBs although Kroger was better. The HEEBs we had was really nice though. This was in The Woodlands.

Everyone cries about higher prices, then everyone cries about paying welfare. In order for people to have benefits prices need to rise with the cost of benefits, energy, cost of living. I have no problem paying the extra if it provides the benefits to someone. What I do have issues with is the general lack of customer service in this area.

They are union and taking the caps off would be a change in workiing conditions requiring accomodation and/or negotiations to compensate for the effort.

Plus, the Premo rate would probably go up.
