I have a soft spot for the chain...but only on a technicality. I worked for Record Bar / Tracks for 6 years. At the tail end of my time there, they were bought out by Blockbuster Entertainment and became, what else, Blockbuster Music. But Blockbuster cut their losses and passed the buck to Wherehouse Music. So, anyway, long story short, I still know people who work for the company, who've held on through all the ownership changes, so I feel bad that they'll be out of work...especially when the people in question actually know how to run a store. It's just that the corporate higher-ups won't let 'em order much in the way of product. Right about the time I left, it had gotten to the point where individual stores weren't allowed to use their own discretion to order stock for the store. What kind of crap is that?!? -----Original Message----- From: ronald and karen sanchez [mailto:eldeluxe@mcn.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 3:21 PM To: audities@smoe.org Subject: Re: Another chain store on the precipice of the abyss...? Having worked for those bandits back in '73, I can say that I'm amazed they lasted so long. I got out of there as fast as I could. The only good thing was the truck loads of cut outs that would arrive every couple of weeks. I worked for a couple other chains before I danced out of retail forever. They were all idiots, and I was the biggest idiot for helping them make loads of money for a wage that wouldn't support me in the Bay Area. Thank goodness for all the promos..hehehe RS "Harris, Will" wrote: > http://www.kintera.org/htmlcontent.asp?cid=30715 > > Regards, > WiLL > WiLLiAm E. HaRRiS > Call Scripting Analyst > Bernard C.
