Wall Drug?

You know what ever appears in the news there are always 2 camps with opinions. Wasn't it just a few yeras ago that a Coca-Cola driver in uniform was fired because he was seen drinking a Pepsi? I may have the roles reversed.

Years ago when GM only had Anchor Motor Freight as their delivery arm Anchor could not have any tractors other than GMCs. I believe this is called you scratch my back and I will scratch yours.

Look at the Teamsters, supposedly one of the most powerful unions ever created and yet they willingly yield to United Parcel Service-(UPS), i.e did you know UPS has a rule that a "Brownie" driver can have a mustache; but, beards are taboo. Did you know that a UPS driver wearing an earing can only be female?

All major airlines have their pilots wear a necktie regardless of gender. Did you ever see a bow tie or a bolo?

There are literally hundreds of such "discriminatory" rules throuhout both the public and private sectors. Why is it that if Wal Mart blinks it creates an uproar. Wal Mart is simply playing by the Golden Rule-----they have the gold and they make the rules.

Life is too short to worry about such inconsequential things and I have already put on my flame retardent suit, happy travels and be careful out there, Ken.....

This is more common nowadays than it used to be. In the older days, union food clerks could get canned by the union if seen shopping at non-union shops. Not so much the case anymore since a lot of states changed their labor laws in regards to firings.

Reading these billboards is the only thing that keeps me awake when I'm on the interstate highways.

I did that trip about 25-30 years ago. We stopped just to see what it was all about. It was a joke. JMO.
