    One might also say: 'Lots of lazy and incompetent Sales Associates hiding behind Union memberships'......so, not much difference either way.

    What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?

    Don't know of too many unionized sales associates. I think that in order to get that "title" they have to forego unionism. At least the unionized people usually have the education, training, skills and decent living wages and benefits to give them the incentive and competency to do their jobs well and take pride in their work. The laziness part depends on the individual and their own level of pride in workmanship .

    The problem with traditional unions is that they reward seniority not accomplishment or level of contribution. No matter how motivated or energetic a union member, eventually they will get "union-member's disease" (not unlike short-timer's disease) in that kind of environment. Some unions have made an effort to use more than simple seniority in determining level of compensation, but so far they are pretty rare.

    That's not to say that unions have not played an extremely important role in securing worker's rights since the industrial revolution, but as the workplace has changed, unions have not kept up and have lost relevance. They could be just as valuable today, but they need to catch up with the times or risk becoming completely irrelevant.

    Wherever there is power.. there is potential for corruption...

    Wherever there are rules, there are those who will find every single way to bend the rules in their favor...

    There is no utopia....

    I could be wrong, but don't think Costco has union employees (with the exception of the butcher section) Still doesn't explain where the saleperson went for 5 minutes when checking the shelf to see if they carried Optima batteries...

    Nothing I can do about it now... not worried about it. I just know to check things out for myself.

    Is that why battery terminals get corroded?
