Stores Will Be Open Six Days A Week As Usual
But No Employe Will Work More Than Five Days
Two months ago this company tried the experiment in a few eastern states of a five
day work week for oar retail store employes. Now we are able to announce that we
have adopted the five-day week as our national policy
This, we believe, constitutes the first five-day week and the shortest general working
hours of any major retail food establishment.
This shorter work week will be in effect before tabor Day in A&P food stores in thou
sands of communities throughout the country. It will be extended as far and as fast
as possible. Frankly, however, we must recognize that in a few slates and a number
of cities the introduction of this policy may be delayed or even prevented by state or
local labor regulations or local agreement.
A&P food store employes affected by this policy will work only five days a week al
though stores will be open six days a week as usual. Their weekly salaries will not be
reduced by their shorter work week. Our policy is to continually improve working con
ditions and salaries as evidenced by the fact that during the past year alone we have
been able to make actual wage increases and to pay added compensation to our employes
in an amount totaling more than $4,000,000.
Many people are utterly astounded at the new low prices for quality foods iu A&P.
Super Markets. They are getting so much more and better food for the same money;
that they wonder how we can do it. Frankly, it is simply because A&P Super Markets
represent a new, more efficient, more economical way of distributing food to the public.
This new, shorter week is still further evidence that the tremendous savings you
can now make in buying groceries, meats and fresh fruits and vegetables in the great,
new A&P Super Markets are made possible by savings through efficiency and that no
part of these savings comes out of the wages of our employes.
F
OR many years it has been a source of pride to us that we
have heen able generally to maintain the highest average
wage scale and the shortest general working hours in a field
where long hours have been traditional. Since we first cut the
work week eight hours in 1916, there has been a long record
of further reduction in hours, increases in wages and vacation
ichedules.
Because our new low prices have resulted in increased patron
age, we have been able to further reduce our operating expenses
and increase our efficiency and still further improve the work
ing conditions of our employes.
At the same time thousands of families will testify that they
buy their foods today at lower average prices in A&P Super
Markets than in any group of stores in the highly competitive
retail food field. Today, when you spend a dollar in one of our
stores, more of that dollar actually purchases food and le68 of
it goes to cover distribution costs and profits than ever before
in the history of the food business.
There is no conflict between low prices and good working
conditions. We have achieved both by constantly improving
methods of bringing food from producer to consumer, cutting
out waste and unnecessary handling operations along the dis
tribution route.
The new A&P Super Markets have made possible savings so
astounding that we would not have believed them possible five
years ago. This year we are paying the highest wages for the
shortest work week in the history of the food business and yet
our customers throughout the country will save more than
$50,000,000 on the food they buy as compared to the lowest
prices we could charge on the basis of our own operating
expense only five years ago.
We are more than ever conscious, in these unusual times, of
an obligation to make every possible contribution to the Amer-i
ican standard of living. We know that we are making it possible
for the average family to buy more good food for the same
money, or to buy the same quantity of food for less money.
We are happy to tell you that you can enjoy these savings
with the knowledge that the people who serve you in our retail
stores are sharing more than ever before in these good things.
This means a better standard of living for you and for those
who serve you.
This plan will necessitate slight adjustments in store hours which will be announced locally. We respect
fully ask our customers for their cooperation and assistance in making this new schedule a success
