There's a Books-A-Million around where I live that is inexplicably still open. There used to be another one, but they closed it down back in the early 00s. Pretty sure the company meant to close the other store as well but just forgot. The employees still show up for work everyday despite having not been paid for 15 years.

Prorat posted:What is yahoos obsession with having a woman as CEO? Political Correctness is killing their company. Not just CEOs. quote:Anderson also says his supervisors, in particular Chief Marketing Officer Kathy Savitt, favored female workers. When Savitt began at Yahoo, top managers in the "Media Org" were less than 20 percent female, the complaint states. Three years later, they were more than 80 percent female.

didn't a bunch of chain restaurants already have a bunch of severe e. coli problems that killed a bunch of people but are still around? I feel like the whole Chipotle thing is just a repeat of something that happened in the 90's with like jack in the box and some kind of salad place

Chipotle finally made it out here a few years ago so I went to check it out. Triple the price and 1/3 the portions compared to my local hole in the wall Mexican place. Plus the food was bland as gently caress. I don't get it. Real Mexican restaurants and fake-Americanized Mexican restaurants are both better and cheaper than that shithole.

Woden posted:AMD: They're making worse and worse processors, have nothing left to sell off and only get money from console sales. AMD hasn't been competitive in processors in years, they need to drop out of that market anyway, because even their graphics cards are falling further and further behind Nvidia.

One day some actually smart people in the stock market will look at Facebook, rally together, and just collectively go "nah... a company that continually loses money, buys things, and loses more money is not worth a hundred dollars per user for information these people are giving away for free elsewhere too". Not sure it's a drain circler, but it's a credulence-circler. Otoh it is somewhat cool that its CEO completely understands this and opted to give away a lot of money based on their current share price while the going was good.

Pawn 17 posted:Pretty much every company based around oil is getting hosed right now. BP is losing more money this year than right after the Gulf spill. And small companies without a ton of capital are just going belly up. Coal companies are making GBS threads themselves to death as well, since the writing is very clearly on the wall for coal.

dstyle posted:sears is just a front operation and tax shelter for the mafia and/or the reptilians, nobody has actually bought anything from sears ever despite it being around for over a century. I have purchased a refrigerator and a lawnmower from Sears in the last few months. Probably still true. McDonald's http://www.eater.com/2016/2/2/10898588/mcdonalds-mozzarella-sticks-lawsuit-class-action Don't think they have the resources to fight off this legitimate lawsuit. Who would have thought their cheese sticks didn't contain the highest quality fresh mozzarella?

Krustic posted:McDonald's Of course not, anyone would figure that it's probably fake poo poo, but this doesn't matter if McD's actually said it was "100 percent cheese" and "real mozzarella." e: also I figured this would be about the thing where they've been overfrying the sticks leading to sticks with no cheese in them.
