Huh?


"Beef People To Close Stores, Cut Jobs" -- Headline, Web Pro News, June 21, 2005.


The article talks about Winn-Dixie grocery stores doing some consolodating. Not sure why they refer to Winn-Dixie as "Beef People".

"Beef People" are hybrids developed via cattle mutilation experiments and human abductions in recent decades. They are a new class of drones created by the alien ruling-class Lizard People from the planet Vegan.

From here:

For nearly 80 years, Winn-Dixie has been known as The Beef People. It's a heritage that we're proud of, and one that we will continue to embrace. Eighty years of experience has taught us a thing or two about customer satisfaction. We are proud of our quality meat selection, from our WD Brand USDA Choice Beef to our all-natural pork and chicken.

A few years ago, Winn Dixie went on a building spree, and designed a new stores called Marketplaces. The reason was to carry a few items outside the normal rhelm of a grocery store, and take on Wal Mart and Target.

Needless to say, they got their asses handed to them, and you are seeing the result now. Most of the exec's who bungled this decision are still there, only with 22,000 fewer peon's to boss around now.

I had a good bit of their stock, but sold it when they started trying to take on Wal Mart. Glad I did now.

Also, Ravenwood, this is a very nice blog. I enjoy reading it. I have added it to my blogroll, unless you have an objection.
