it was a nice market and the employee's were kind, helpful and always remembered a person. I will really miss the market and the people who worked there.

the shoppers are slightly inconvenienced and, as the report said, will need to go a little farther to a store that is a bit cheaper.

And yet the story presents this like a tragedy. It isn't.

And we need to train ourselves not to fall for that kind of anti-living wage slant.
