1. Oh please please please let all go well and the board vote to approve!!!

I am sick to death of the HIGH PRICES at Stop and Crap, and I've gone out to eat a lot rather than get ripped off at that store. Hey, it works out about the same!

We want our MAAAH-KIT BAAAASSS-KIT foooooood!!!!!!!!!

2. They'll either approve it or go out of business.

I don't see any conglomerate ready to buy a chain of stores with no staff and no customers.

Those are the only alternatives.

3. Everyone is holding their breath.

So far, only the Globe & Fox are reporting.

6. Good. Put F&G to work stocking shelves and putting out the trash.

Make them earn their parachutes. if they have to do manual labor they might resign.
