How busy is the Tilton Store going to be tomorrow and the rest of the Weekend!!! I hope they are fully stocked by then
from the looks of it at a store right around the corner from my job, they are stocking the shelves very fast and I am sure have extra staff on

This morning I was writing e-mail to a friend in Texas to update him on the Market Basket deal.

When I ran a spell check, it tried to change DeMoulas to Demolish. Not quite, but it was close.

Best I can figure Arthur T. gave good pay and bonuses to the employees and Arthur S. wanted to sit on his ass and collect dividends. Probably more to it than that (Arthur T. seemed to use his own businesses for a lot of contract work), but you can see why the employees liked Arthur T. If you shopped there much, you found that the employees were always smiling and helpful. That's what happens when you pay a living wage. Arthur S. wanted less pay for the workers and more money for the shareholders (mainly, him). His hand picked board of directors really screwed up big time. The worst of capitalism, in action.

To answer your question and Granitebox' statement.

It was asked earlier in this thread why I had not updated any info. That last line in my post answered those questions.

No more, no less!
