Now, back to the quote above: I take issue with such a plan. Why would someone want to take things out on the frontline workers? If you don’t like it, make a picket sign and walk around in front of the store — whatever, if that happys you up. But a plan to make the workday more difficult for those just doing their jobs — from positions that are powerless — is a plan that if carried out would be condescending, elitist, and just plain wrong.

Bingo!
