Market Basket's letter to it's customers concerning the strike

[MADem]

21. Get one of those S and S cards in the name of your dead dog.

Or a deceased relative! That will help with the costs at S and S in the interim. If they ask for ID, change the middle initial so you know that the junk mail you are getting is from them!

My cat (dead for ten years or more, now) and my grandmama, dead for way longer than that, still get mail "thanks" to those stupid market/drugstore cards!

I am on the Cape often so I have one of those cards for S/S--it used to be that Shaws (which used to have cards) and S/S were the only real choices down there. When they put a MB off exit one I did the happy dance, even though it's one helluva slog from the mid-Cape to get there (I have relatives near the bridge, so I paired shopping with visiting).

If this goes on for much longer I will go to the commissary at Bedford...I generally only go there every other month or so--they're lousy at fresh produce, great with meats and packaged/frozen goods. I won't go to a MB to use the bathroom!
