Quote:Food and beverage workers (inside and outside the arenas), ushers, and those in the hockey equipment industry, among others, were forced into abrupt career changes due to the season’s cancellation. For the most part, those folks suffered in silence, with nary a multi-million-dollar war chest to offset the pain. It was a brutal reminder of the precarious economic domino structure that allows people to make their next mortgage payment, and few who felt its sting will soon forget it.

I went trough the same thing when baseball had it's last strike in 1994 and I will never forget it I use to be a huge baseball fan and to work down at the Skydome was a fan dream. Ever since the strike I haven't bought anything related to baseball Blue Jay related or otherwise, I needed the money for school at the time and I will never forgive them for the hardship that I had to endure because a bunch of spoiled millionaires couldn't come to an agreement. As for the hockey strike I wouldn't expect anybody in the food and service industry that was effected to forgive the players or even owners anytime soon.
