I have to buy an assortment of cheese this Christmas and besides dreading the thought of standing in a smelly place buying smelly things, I have an ethical bee in my bonnet. The person I'm buying for has only purchased from Janice Beaton and wants the same sort of thing in the same sort of box...a bunch of smelly lumps nestled together in fake hay like a smelly little manger of new born kings.
Sure it's only vacation and severance pay and some suppliers. And she's only "taking advantage of the rules available to all Americans". And she's paid for it personally to some extent. But it's dirty pool in my books to stiff your employees and then open the same business in the same place using the experience your employees helped create for you. She may get around to paying everyone back at some point. And frankly, if you try your best and fail at a business, I don't hold that against you. While employees shouldn't assume the risk of ownership, sometimes things happen. It's that she's opened up the same business in the same place. I dunno. Thoughts? I'm pretty sure one person's Bleu d'elizabeth is the same as the next one's.
I has a story.
Back when I was a young teen, my friend shoplifted what he thought was a cheese platter from a Hickory Farms?, I think, store, in a mall, and wrapped it up and gave it to his parents for xmas.
Turns out it was a display and the cheese bricks were actually made of wood, so they tried to return it, and he got busted.
lolz
anyways, I bought my parents a cheese thing from balderson cheese for xmas a couple of years ago that they liked. Then again, our family likes cheese, and olives, and pickles more than most families it seems.

Plot thickens. I heard from another Beaton that all Calgary Beatons are related somehow. Is Janice Beaton related to a former Calgary Police Chief Beaton?

Wow, I totally read the thread title as Ethnic Chinese in Today's Economy. Thought it was another thread about Chinese people buying up all the properties in Canada lol.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
I have to buy gifts for teenagers and it doesn't matter if it's their birthday or Christmas, they always want something I don't want to pay for. Beats headphones, Kardashian-related merchandise, Starbucks cards...
I get them something else and don't have to support the Kardashians or Dr.Jay-Z or Starbucks and feel better about myself. They get something they don't want (another copy of The Catcher in the Rye) and they feel worse about me. It's a win-win situation!

Are you trying to raise serial killers or assassins?
