What the PFJ execs did is no different than a cashier taking a $20 bill, observing the customer is highly distracted, giving change for $10 & pocketing the other $10. Except, of course, the cashier might have actually needed the stolen money [wages being pretty low], and would have been...

They can if you're home in service. Hey Moose: empty your inbox, please, so I can answer the question you sent - thanks. ;)

The problem with PFJ is a culture that approves of dishonesty [theft] among those who not only believe they can get away with it, but disparage the customers they are stealing from. What comes through loud and clear in the conversations recorded in the affadavit is the attitude of contempt for...

Did you even read the link, or are you just reading what you want into it? The FCC [which isn't "Obama's", BTW, it's everyone's] is asking for public input as they consider changes. I'm not a frequent user of the f word, and don't care to hear a lot of it either, but used infrequently to make a...

Your first sentence makes my point: at age 14, politics and the rights & responsibilities of free speech are subjects they're still learning, and not capable of forming a fully informed opinion. Adolescent brains [if that's not an oxymoron, having raised 2 myself, lol] are not capable of adult...

Likely they have a software program to scan for mention of their program, so they can monitor the reactions.

Or, as the affadavit shows, they can be the bait that gets carriers to spend a lot of money, trading exclusively with PFJ. And if the carriers aren't watching closely [or using 'optimized' software that watches for them], the rebates can be divided, with a portion going to the PFJ sales mgr...

Anything with political significance can be disruptive, whether the teenagers understand that or not. As a compromise measure, short of compelling uniforms, maybe they should simply ban any graphics whatsoever - plain solid colors or patterns only. The kids can express themselves outside of...

I agree with Juju's Dad - to a point. Meaning, one speaks with respect to authority, until they can't, when it's time to get an attorney, lol. As for the OP, I tend to agree with THawk: schools have the authority to decide what is or isn't disruptive behavior, and if/when they abuse that...

Like the CB, this is a public forum, anyone can join in, and some loudmouths do. Unlike the CB, they don't get to drown out the quieter and/or smarter voices. Negative feedback serves a purpose too: as one curmudgeon says "You gotta learn to pick the pepper from the flyspecks" Stick around - the...

It's someone else's standards that sent my [then] 5 year old daughter home in tears when several of her friends told her she will be burning in hell forever, because we weren't churchgoers. It left a deep and awful impression on an innocent child. I don't care for those standards at all, thank...

I've refilled my 2 plastic gallon jugs at the sink in the truckstops for years without any problems. Even if you don't want to do it on a regular basis, it beats paying the high price [or wasting fuel to go elsewhere] in a pinch. PS The thing about germs is that some of them are actually...

Even if religious schools were free [and last I heard, they're often very pricey], they have quite an advantage over public schools: they don't have to accept any student they don't want. The delinquents, troublemakers, and 'problem kids' are not found in their classrooms. Public schools have to...

As part of a comparative religion class, the Bible would belong. As the only representative of religion, it should not - that's what I meant. If schools don't teach about all religions, they should. Waaaay back when I was a student, I can't recall any teaching about religion. Course, I did skip...

Turtle: you can't fathom what possible damage could result from having a Bible in school? I can: the perception that the Christian religion is favored, which is where the founding fathers wanted us to avoid going. Favoring any one religion is tacit disfavoring of all others - the first step to...

The high markup of prices in the truckstops is neither cheating nor greed - drivers are free to purchase the same products elsewhere. [And I certainly do.] What the PFJ corp was doing is unquestionably cheating, motivated by greed. The tone of disdain for both customers and employees is quite...
