SAMS Closing 63 Stores

Post by _Kevin Graham »

Left many employees scratching their heads with no notice. Customers are demanding refunds on their memberships. Thousands of people jobless now. Hey Bach, how does this dovetail with Trump's economic policy?

Seriously Jersey Girl. Are you still that “Duped” as an adult woman? Do you really believe that video was not staged? This guy (or perhaps you if you buy into the video)should really be the poster child for our lack of an effective US education system.

Come on!! Kevin has been on a tare since Apple’s announcement, the strong economy, his lack of any investment understanding and that capitalism is 100 Times more productive and effiecient than government spending in increasing jobs and opportunity.

The only bait and switch was someone taking advantage of this young man to humiliate himself.

But you be the judge on who’s being duped.

If I were you, I’d give all your money to KG to manage. I luv the guy!!! He may be one of my top entertainers of current times!!!

According to the article from BusinessInsider, which I already linked to, the video is perfectly legit.

Some Sam's Club employees were informed of the closings via notices that were sent through FedEx on Thursday.

"FedEx showed up at my door with a package from Sam's Club and I was thinking that maybe it was my W-2," Nic Townsend, an employee of a Sacramento, California Sam's Club, told Business Insider. "It was a letter saying they are closing down... I'm unsure of what to do I have a baby and a mentally sick mother. I'm lost. I'm heartbroken. I'm scared."


Let me guess, Liberal conspiracy, right?

Welcome to Trump's America.

Walmart is closing 63 Sam's Club stores — here's the complete list

have you not been claiming that today's economy is still Obama's doing?....or did you mean just the good parts...or did you mean to say (yet again) - "My name is KG and I consistently get out of my depth on the most shallow of national/global economic concepts".

No dumbass, it is called using your logic against you. Bach has been incessantly pointing out examples of companies, including Walmart, giving raises as proof that the tax cuts worked. And here we see the truth. And how does he respond? By calling the video a staged scene. Makes him look pretty stupid when it is supported by Businessinsider. Here is another example from teh article:

Shoppers were also stunned by the sudden closures.

"I went to the Orange, Connecticut location, and was shocked to learn from an employee, crying in the parking lot, that the club was closing permanently on the 26th and was closed the whole day today," Cynthia Garofalo told Business Insider on Thursday. "It really caught everyone off guard, especially the people that needed to pick up their prescriptions. What a mess."

Three of the closures are in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.

"The Barceloneta, Puerto Rico store closed without notice — over 950 people without jobs," Eliezer Cabrera, a Sam's Club shopper, told Business Insider. "This is the last thing Puerto Rico needed after Hurricane Maria devastated the island."

Ahh...so it is not just simple economics that eludes you but logic does as well - got it!

He doesn't need Business Insider to make him look stupid.
