I have written four times to La Flèche making what he should have understood were suggestions designed to help Metro stay in business - which is my selfish aim as WalMart is the nearest alternative.  If he thinks raising the minimum wage will cause problems for Metro, he hasn't understood anything I've said.  It's not the wages that will destroy Metro, it's the talentless, trashy music he foists on Metro staff and customers (which they loath - I know because I ask them) the inability of young staff to 'see' elderly customers, the often rotten or stale fruit and veg., and the hiring recently of a cashier surly beyond belief.  If La Flèche doesn't know these faults will drive customers into the arms of other grocers, then I suspect he's using the minimum wage as an excuse for not paying attention when he should, to customers who are trying to help.  I shop at Metro far less than I used to for the reasons I've named and so do others - even his own employees.  He's been told often enough.
