Alcohol isn't. So if you're seeing a $.10 a can increase, buy something else. This hurts smaller, craft brewers way more than it hurts the big guys. Most of the small shops can their product, and their margins are pretty thin on the liquor store shelf. Alcohol may not be a monopoly, but the increase in the price of raw materials hurts the smaller guys a lot more than the big guys. Source: friends who own breweries.

Absolutely, and the InBev/MC may swallow the higher operating costs hoping to kill out a lot of the competition or buy for cheap. A lot of these microbrews started in 08 and later with an expectation of cheap labor and commodities, I doubt many had a business plan for this.

The guy has never been held accountable a day in his life. Yet no one calls people or entities dishonest more than he does. And he's being dishonest when he says it.

You'd have to actually conciously know that he intended to lie. Without him outright saying that, the best they can say is "said something which isn't true."

The Alt-Left are revealing who they are through hate, bigotry, bullying, intimidation and racism. It is no wonder why moderate liberals will be coming in droves to vote trump in 2020 and why Trump is so popular with African Americans, relatively speaking of course, in comparison to past conservatives. The far radical left will destroy the party if this foolishness does not come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Maybe Im old fashioned, but Im just not sure why this is news at all. It seems like the snowflake party is now trying to expand safe spaces to private companies. I dont think anyone should be threatened in public, it really seems like this should be up to the Cheesecake Factory how it wants to handle it. Their employees seemingly acted poorly, its up to them how to handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Starbucks story should have gotten 0 press. It was a stupid decision by 1 manager. Given what Starbucks actual policies are, its mind boggling that the manager did that.

StrangeSox Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 He's probably talking about the more recent story where a big wig at Duke got two people fired because he didn't like that they played rap music on the store radio. A man in his position using his power to punish others for no real reason is bad and deserves attention. Conversely, getting booed out of a cheesecake factory is hilarious in almost any circumstance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
