All of the stores in CT were shuttered. Good riddance too. Shaw's was an awful supermarket.

LOL not if you are a safeway employee.

I think this is the new economy, though. Work your fingers to the bone (I see a lot of safeway store workers with the medical thingies on their forearms, indicating that they have carpal tunnel or tendinitis). And still be always on the precipice of losing your job.
