Got this email from my father in law, pretty interesting story! Go Budweiser!
quote: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, but was continuing his shift to stores and seeing owners weeping and
sad talking about what was happening in New York. He entered the 7-11 to find
the two Arab owners whooping and hollering, clapping and doing high-fives 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
event. He said he was stunned and had returned to the truck to call and tell someone about the horrible people inside.
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. Then he added 'call Bin Laden for your beer from now on!'
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.
