What is wrong with this picture ?


What is wrong with this picture ? " Bagger gets $10,000 as national championship winner ",

                               Photobucket 

Baggers must be skill labor now ? Doesn't pay to be a meat cutter any more, Meat cutting must no longer be a trade/skill https://www.facebook.com/TeteakIsTheBestInTheBusiness 

 
  Once upon a time, a butcher was a trade, a craft, and in most neighborhoods, an honored and trusted position. The neighborhood butcher shop has disappeared, the super stores dominate, the recognition for the job has eroded, Now it seems like the Grocery chains, Independent Grocers and Grocery Associations " Give more respect to a grocery bagger than a meat cutter " ! 

 

 “These competitors are hard-working young " professionals " from community-based retailers in each state,” said Frank DiPasquale, EVP of Arlington, Va.-based NGA. “They are great examples of how many grocery stores are committed to customer service, and this competition is a fun way to recognize and reward these baggers for their accomplishments.” 
 
 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ,The median salary as of May 2011 for this bagger classification was $10.47 per hour, The top 10 percent earn $11.40 or more. The average salary as of May 2011 for meat cutter classification was $13.68 per hour.  An Meat Cutter Recruiters wonder why they can't find meat cutters ! Why serve a two years apprenticeship to make the extra $2.28.
  WHERE is their  $10,000 Meat Cutter National Championship Winner ?
 
 Meat Cutters are devoted to providing premier customer service and the highest product quality possible. Without our Meat Cutters, our stores wouldn't be the caliber of supermarkets customers have come to expect.

RE: What is wrong with this picture ?


I know I do not need to tell any Veteran Meat cutter what is wrong here.

Fact is, the meat cutter trade- Professional Cutter was it`s un-doing, NOT From the cutter himself !
NO......

Grocery chains, didnt like the FACT they had to have them, Down Right Hate too the Profession.
For, NO Meat Department, No Grocery store. Time was the Meat Dept. was the Hub of the Store.
Some of Us did over use that Power. lol ,, having right away to coolers and or have other in store departments. to move our trash for us. For, and IF, We went on strike, the store would be shut down.

So, then it was set out to have it killed off, by means of per-cutting. Mostly from illegal Labor.

Radiation, was for the most part the finial Nail.

I was a Cattle raiser for 17 years and then a cutter for 13. Goal in my start 1989 was To be the best, After a year, learning this was a dead trade to learn. AS SET NOTE YOU.

But, I kept at it, To learn as many different shops as possible. Which i felt i gained and Then Radiation was passed in 2000. Time to go for me, To learn the next trade .

In-order to, Bring back the Old, In New style. By Opening a Grocery Store and Restaurant- Entertainment center. All, Couple with a Ranch and Farm operation. So, Have supply and Clean products.

FOR, The Industry of the Grocery Chains HAVE , Really missed things up in Customer Service and Quality Products. Customers Would be shocked to see OLD Style Service.

A VERY strong NEED, Needs to go out on EDUCATION the Consumer and what they are really getting. Pink Slime, Radiation, What and where E-coli comes from, down to GMO`s the whole works.

LETS , PUSH for GOVERNMENT To Label Products and what go into them. IT is Good for the Industry From Producers to the Skilled labors, that is needed to get to the Right way of do things.

Watch out, for your DE-regalations, that is only for the Major Corp. so they can do as they will.
