22 years and

now laid off

I've worked at Briggs for 22 years. Poplar Bluff don't care. This morning I ended up gettin' my walking papers. We're all gettin' laid off at Briggs. Even though you did a good job for them, they still lay you off. Everybody that has worked for them, you better run, do somethin'. Find yourself another job or go somewhere else because they're layin' off everybody even if you've been there and been a good employee for 22 years. Thank you.

Figuring a

way around it

Walmart has figured out that they can chill their baked and fried chicken so that you can now get those items from their deli on your EBT card. I just wonder what's next? Are you gonna go to the drive-through at KFC and be able to get buy chilled KFC with your EBT card? Probably. Just watch for it. It's comin'. Sure enough. If they figured one way around it, they have lit the way now and others will figure out other ways they can get around it. Thank you. Bye.
