My dad managed many grocery stores way back, opening them and closing them for a big chain. I was just a kid, but used to go to work with him on weekends and sweep the parking lot and break down boxes and sort soda bottles and stuff. He decided to go out on his own and bought an independent grocery store. Something happened, I don't know exactly what, he's dead now, but he got the idea to get rid of the lazy union workers who were calling it in. The whole family pitched in to work the business, and it worked for a little while, until all the sudden he couldn't get anything delivered... They choked him out and broke him, he filed for bankruptcy and tried to suicide himself because he thought he was a failure. That broke up the family. He eventually went onto own other small business and made ends meet, but it was never the same after that. The store is now a big chain union store now. #FuckUnions
