The celebrations I heard on the radio on my way into work were just a step down from the Red Sox winning the World Series  whoisjohngalt, give them a week or so to restock TheHaitian, sorry this may cut into your bonus |

I know! My FB feed is all about MB.
I truly hope that it will be what it was. The cynical side of me thinks the whole thing was a bit staged.
We shall see....

I'm glad that the Market Basket employees didn't lose their jobs, and that Arthur T. has been reinstated. If the family had been smart, they'd have worked as a unit to keep all of this hullabaloo from happening, and have kept their revenue flowing. All's well that ends well, and The Haitian got some good figures at his store for awhile.  |

Yeah, I am still very skeptical of the whole thing. For some reason I keep having this feeling that ATD played everyone to get what he wanted. I probably won't go in until later next week yogiii - are you going anytime soon? |

No, I've got my last hoorah at Hannaford tomorrow and will resume MB next week, hopefully when they're fully stocked.

That is ok, I figure it will take them another 1-2 weeks to be back 100%...  |

I am giving DH a list tomorrow morning for him to try and get after work. Even if all he can get is milk, I will easily save $15-$20/week.
That said, it is too bad that things had to get so contentious. In my area, MB is the go-to store for families on fixed incomes and/or super tight budgets. With the high price of other needs such as gas, one wonders how they managed to feed their families from the higher-priced competition for the past 6 weeks.
