I have no idea how grocery stores are not $$ printing presses during the pandemic.
Guess what ? EVERYONE was part time. Even the store managers. And still paid Union dues, but got no rights or union services. Straight abuse.

Too bad they can't be like Trader Jo's, which gave everybody $4 hour more nationwide after a few cities passed this emergency law. Berkeley, Long Beach, Seattle that I know of.
Local grocery chains are suing city of Seattle over this, saying it violates union laws and is arbitrarily applied to their business while ignoring other frontline essential workers, which are fair points.

Trader Joe’s doesn’t need to apologize to grocers for treating their own staffers consistently. It ain’t their fault the grocers have a butchered business model, so to speak. It’s called competition, and if Joe’s doesn’t want to build their business off the backs of high schoolers and seniors bored with TV, that should be their choice.
The only way large retailers exist is with large profits. Cries of labor costing too much are only gonna take them so far.
