Good reporting job. Their web site sucks also. I had an occasion to look for something yesterday and it would not load with Mozilla, I then tried FireFox and MS Exlporer with no luck. Then I was wondering if it was me or the web site, so I downloaded a couple of other browsers with and had no sucess. Apparently these dudes have a death wish as far as staying in business goes. It a good thing that guy did not say that to my lovely and ferocious wife. She would have knocked the sob into the next county. I have actually seen her do it before! Right on bro.

I've been shaking my head all afternoon. I hope you get some kind of apology, although, like justice, apologies delayed are apologies denied. Yeah, it’s shocking all right.

The worst part of all this is that my wife is a very reasonable person and not someone who expects something for nothing. If the manager Fred had simply explained that the sign was up by mistake she would have accepted his explanation and been done with the whole thing. His slur -- and it was indeed an ugly slur -- was completely uncalled for, especially for someone who claimed to be the acting manager on duty. Jim:
