We Just Bought Out Another Chain

It always pisses me off when they go into a rage on corporate policy directed at the peons behind the register, as if the clerks were in the shareholders meeting when the buyout took place.

Besides a few exceptions, the clerks get the shaft even more than the customers do when a buyout occurs, especially when it's a large conglomerate taking over a small regional or family-owned enterprise. It means more redtape, change in management, and major policy changes. They don't need customers yelling at them about it on top of everything else.

Fish I know exactly which stores your talking about. Howdy neighbor!

That jew comment made me wtf? in my head for a moment. Some people....

Y'know, I was talking to a coworker who said some guy made a similar "Jew" comment to him awhile back...I wonder if it was the same guy or if I am living in an anti-semite community without even knowing it.

2. When it was privately owned, the family had a reputation for horrible management and letting their drughead kids run it to hell.

At the location by my house one of the drugheaded kids still runs it. >.>

If that guy wants a real Monopoly, he can live in an area that isn't allowed to have a Lowes or Home Depot because a certain someone who owns a certain huge home improvement store is on the city council.

Town next to mine growing up had three McDonald's and not a one Burer King. Tell me there's not a story behind that!
