It’s kind of embarrassing when trash talk or bar talk ends up at the sheriff’s office. I have a hunch the elevator manager will be more careful. Not too sure about the other side. Restaurant management 101 teaches us to listen. The Dixie Chicks shared their strong feelings and business was slow for a while. When you are in sales and service, your opinion can be more expensive than someone earning a paycheck.

Business may have been slow for the Dixie Chicks, but the simple fact is that they were RIGHT. The more time goes by, the more correct they seem to have been. An excellent moral story about telling the truth even when it means economic harm.
There’s no way the Co-Op is going to win when what they’re doing is harmful to the whole town, and everyone knows it.

Silly goose. Everyone’s going to win. The elevator agrees they could have done a better job with the dust. The citizens’ concerns are being heard. Things are going more slowly, but not stopped. Wanna get some pizza?

Real bad timing for a community trying to promote itself as a great place to live for those commuting to Fargo and Grand Forks.
