I managed a Garden Center in, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ We were located in what was once the ‘edge’ of the city, and adjacent to a high crime/low income area.
There were some problems through the years.
One day a black woman came into the store and started yelling from the moment she walked in, ‘Why are there no people of COLOR working here?’ And she continued to annoy my customers until I called the cops and had her escorted out.
What she didn’t know was that my ‘people of color’ weren’t working that shift, and through the years I tried very HARD to hire them, but they had to WORK and they didn’t like that, so they didn’t come back!
Another instance was when we had a group of a half-dozen black THUGS roaming around in the store in a pack. What did these kids NEED from a Garden Center? That would be - Nothing. Again, had to have the police escort them out. They had all kinds of names for me. *Rolleyes*
So, I TRIED - but how can one person change generations of this kind of behavior? I have no answers. Well, I do, but they’re not Politically Correct, and that is KEY to making a living as an, ‘Evil Capitalist’ in Madistan. ;)
-—yeah—my daily glance at the Madistan-Milwaukee garbage wraps seem to indicate that the same “disease” that infects a few square blocks in Milwaukee seems to be slowly spreading to Madison-—
