Verrrrry Interesting - but DUMB!
TDS, nothing to see here.
DeleteSo Hy-Vee's employees need more time to finish moving the few Name Brands they still stock to the very top and bottom shelves so the optimal shelf space can be entirely devoted to their crappy "Store Brand" merchandise?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Price Chopper's stores are so crowded these days!

“I would rather because I like the numbers being where they are,” Trump said. “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault. And it wasn’t the fault of the people on the ship either, OK? It wasn’t their fault either, and they’re mostly Americans. So, I can live either way with it. I’d rather have them stay on, personally.”
