...maximaxine, I can commiserate as I was laid off in October and there's nothing out there. No one likes that end of the demise of JS, but it was caused by the business model the owners chose to embrace and they should be the focus of your anger.

Many years ago when I lived in Meredith, JS would jack their prices up from Memorial Day until Labor Day to take advantage of the tourists. Then they kept them jacked up year round, taking advantage of everyone. This was long before the current economic mess and any gas price issues. There is no excuse for their pricing, it was and always has been a matter of getting whatever they could out of the community. That's not 'good for the community', it was only good for JS and their bottom line.
