the

long

| | Friend ran a chicken place where the employees were not allowed to
take
| | home
| | leftover chicken at closing, it went into the dumpster. Why? Simple,
| when
| | they allowed it there was ALWAYS a full fryer at the end of the day.
| Maybe
| | Wal-mart is protecting the stockholders from the associates?

As

who
