Food + politics ping! :)
Thanks for this post.
Can we not disperse the hippies with soap and water?
Very familiar tactics. Put someone out of business because they ARE doing well...so failures have a better chance. Makes Marxist sense if not common sense. Geeeeeez!
...and good to see you! :)
Anti-Alinsky rule #1.
Smack your accusers over the nose with a newspaper and they will go back to hiding under the porch.
Anti-Alinsky rule #2
If anti-Alinsky rule #1 doesn’t work, you are now hitting hard enough.
That should be “Not hitting hard enough”
If there were already a number of companies selling fried chicken for around $14-15,000, I would be suspicious of a company that could come in and undersell by a factor of three.
It is wrong for people to just protest the "unfair" (unfair to who?) price. But someone needs to investigate. Either this company is cutting some pretty large corners, or the other companies have set up an illegal cartel which needs to be exposed and eliminated.
BTW, there is nothing wrong with Saul Alinsky's methods. The only thing wrong was what he hoped to achieve with those methods. The right could learn a thing or two by studying his methods. Corporations have already learned many valuable things by responding to his tactics and Alinsky-proofing their buildings and business processes.
There is always some kind of meaningless protest in San Francisco. Those people have TOO much free time on their hands!
Yes, that's true.

Lotte Mart is a grocery store chain, a very large one. Their main competition is other grocery store chains, not restaurants.
It is standard operating procedure for grocery stores to offer certain items at significantly below cost to bring customers into the store so they'll stick around and spend more money on non-sale items and boost the overall bottom line of the store. This is good for the store and good for their shareholders. There's nothing illegal or inappropriate about that.
What's inappropriate is the ridiculous over-reaction to it.
Actually, there's a big problem with his methods because they are all about the ends justifying the means, utterly amoral, which is who Alinsky lived his life.
There isn't enough soap in San Francisco to do that.
Yep, that's what the left does, put the producers out of business so the non-productive don't get their feelings hurt over the fact they can't produce anything anyone wants.
But not enough time in the day to take a bath. ; )
Good to hear. I have been shopping at TJ’s for 35 years.
Well, as Cartman indicates, there is always Death Metal.
Of course! That would take away their “patina”! LOL!
Good job..
I like the fact they offer several Korean dishes, like bibimbap. :)
The SF bay area is the current home base of Metallica so I don't think the metal music would scare these grungies away.
Pantina, I like my stinkin' pantina! *snicker*
