That we would! Then a quick fillet job, fry them up, cole slaw, hush puppies and cold beer. NUTIN BETTER! :p

Wish I was there. The Monroe TA is only about 10 miles from my house. The perch are hitting good out on the Lake right now. *SIGH*

Nothing new here. Tyranny in action. What else do you expect?

I know that story!

I understand, he wants his nasty, dried out corn dogs. They won't be there and neither will the fuel if they don't get those markups right. Too high, nothing sells and they lose money. Too low, they lose money. Either way, they are gone. It is how it is. If you can come up with a better way...

That matters not. IF the markups are not right every retail outlet will go out of business. Here is a very rough idea on the subject. At Cabela's we needed a 40% gross margin to just BREAK EVEN, no profit. SO i, say a Remington 870 express shotgun has a 5% markup (that is about what it is)...

Make sure you know the "chain laws" if you plan to run out there in the winter. Colorado requires chains on the truck NOW on parts of I70. Be sure you have all needed chains and know how to use them. We have them, we choose not to use them. We either don't take loads out that way or shut down if...

One thing that I learned when I was in retail management is that "markups" are complicated. Not everything, although I am sure it is done, is marked up JUST to price gouge.

In case anyone forget, BATFE is part of the Treasury Department, which is under the "Executive Branch" which is headed by the president, which for now, is Obama.

Current proposed ban on importation of shotguns that, according to BAFTE do NOT have a "sporting use". PART of the definition of "Not having a sporting use" includes any of ten "features" on an offending shotgun. ONE of those ten features is a pistol grip. That "feature" is available on EVERY...

2009 list of firearms and firearms type that the Dumb-O-Crats want banned. This was part of a house bill that failed in 2008. Obama/Clinton/holder back these ideas. This bill would have banned EVERY sporting shotgun, EXCEPT double barrels, over/under and single shots. That INCLUDES pumps and...

Not a "conspiracy" it is more of a "ploy". Lull the uninformed into thinking one thing and the "spring the trap" on them later. Obama voted YES, in IL, on a bill that would have outlawed EVERY semi-automatic hunting shotgun sold in the US. It was IL SB1195. That bill mirrors a law championed...

Oh I hope it is not the government or I will be here through the weekend! Not the first time this has happened. Rare to be sure but stuff does happen in this business. We once picked up a load in California, made it to Detroit and it had not cleared. Had to sit on it, running the reefer, for...

At the Pilot in Syracuse, NY. Load has not cleared. This sucks bored AND losing money. Nothing better! :mad:

The difference this season is that they are playing with an "attitude". They BELIEVE that they can win. They no longer feel like losers. That is what is known as "the Swartz factor"!!

What a great idea! Don't let qualcomm hear about it or they will DOUBLE the cost!

Sitting at the shipper in Greenville, SC. Not open yet. Heading for QC. Then QC to Louisville. Good week so far.

It is just one form of entertainment. A minor diversion from the mundane. Nothing more. It is called FUN!! OH MY! It is NOT serious. Besides, hockey is better. GO WINGS! :D

I have never had to use my gun. I too TRY to stay out of "bad" areas. Not always possible in this business. We often pick up in areas that I would never go into if I did not have business there. I could "face down" "dudes" or "duds" when I was a LOT younger than I am now. My wife and I both...
