Today, yes, often so. Not always so...

One of my fave old movies is the "Devil and Miss Jones"... With a very
sexy Jean Arthur as a retail clerk with a unionizing boyfriend.

Evil boss goes to work in the shoe department to weed out "unionists"
and meets her. Very funny ("What's a doomsday book?").

But that was a rare moment in U.S. film history.

Ken.
