You are absolutely right. And it is very hard to be a principled shopper these days. For me, I have been shopping there my whole – long – life. My mother did a weekly run and taught us to choose produce there, in the early seventies. Once I got my driver’s license the weekly run was delegated to me (and how delighted was I, to get to drive the car!). Because of this I know that they have employed immigrants for decades, they are good employers who gave paid time off and healthcare benefits and so on long before other similar businesses did. There are in fact many employees who have been there for decades. So FOR ME it is a place I am pretty happy to give my food dollars to. And besides, I have nutty relatives too… But everyone has to make their own decision. I respect yours.
