How Budweiser handles those who laughed at those who died on 11
Sept 2001 Thought you'd like to know what happened
in a town north of Bakersfield California. After
you finish reading this, please forward this story on to others so that
our nation and around the world will know about those who laughed when
they found out about the tragic events in New York, PA and the Pentagon.
September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience
store in a town called McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had occurred
in New York. He entered the business to find two Arabs whooping and hollering
and really cheering it up. It was obvious they were elated with what had
happened earlier. The Budweiser employee went to his truck called his
boss and told him of the very upsetting event. He didn't feel he could
be in that store with those horrible people. His boss told him, "Do
you think you could go in there long enough to pull every Budweiser product
and item our beverage company sells there? We'll never deliver to them
again." The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product
his beverage company provided and left with an incredible grin on his
face. He told them never to bother and call for a delivery again. Budweiser
happens to be the beer of choice for that community. Just letting you
all know how Kern County handles this situation! Pass this along. America
needs to know that we're all working together. Well, I need to add to
this. My father in Nevada sent this to me. Fact is, I live not too far
from McFarland here in Central California, and I heard about this at work
the day after it happened. Seems a lot of people from work frequented
the store in question. But it didn't end there. As Paul Harvey might say,
here's the rest of the story...
Seems the Budweiser driver had friends...in particular, the Pepsi route
driver. The Bud driver called his Pepsi friend from his cell phone while
he was still at the store and told him what happened. Seems the Pepsi
driver called his boss, and received the identical orders the Bud driver
did. So Pepsi went in and took out everything in the store under their
corporate brand. And if you know Pepsico (Pepsi, Frito Lay, etc.), that's
damn near EVERYTHING. Last I heard, that store has no product, no customers
(word spreads fast in these small towns, y'know) and no hope. And I say
good riddance to bad rubbish. I hope they enjoyed their cheers...it's
the last they'll be doing in THIS country.
