yesterday, the rich guy who owns the bike shop in town walked into the shop at 2:00, and told the manager to mark everything to 50% off, and shut the doors for good at 6:30. this shop was making money. it has been a part of this community for 15 years at least. it, and its employees do all the things a good small town shop should do, sponsors rides and riders, promotes health and health lifestyles, haelps out at community functions, and serves as a cultural hub for both fitness minded adults and passionate kids. the shop is full of inventory, accounts are open. deliveries are being made, and repairs are still in the back. it is weird, to say the least.
the word is, the rich guy didn't get his way at a town meeting concerning a one-way street, and so he is scrapping the shop - all its cultural importance, as well as the livelyhood of the shop's employees as a way of pouting.
unbelievable.
i had a supervisor who had a wise father, who had a saying for everthing. one such was: "rich guys are mostly assholes". indeed.
