Over the Christmas break I poked around a little bit 2 learn a little bit more about the Riggs family who started epic stores and who also ran at least at one point a successful rather cutting edge concrete laying company. The bottom line here is that a lot of people just don't like the way they do things they're not nice. they think nothing of leaving unpaid invoices for half a year to a year, they stiff people for paychecks, if they don't want to call you back even though you need a phone call you're not going to get a call back. You get the picture.
I also have to admit that I have some difficulty try to understand why a company that was I think formed in the early 90s to do some really innovative things with concrete, had the CEOs peel off one by one to go into the used clothing business. Is certainly not an obvious fit and in a number of instances the stores open gangbusters and within a very short period Of time close gangbusters. So what's up? What do these guys want to do? Are they so full of themselves that they just think that they'll just come up with something and they'll figure out ways to crank cash out of it for themselves the rest of the world be damned? Maybe to a certain degree yes but it's not like a line of people is going to be in place to just do business with them.
The administrative judge has next week to make a decision about what to do and the first I couldn't understand why he was taking so long but I finally figured it out. If the judge doesn't get any indication from the Rigg's that they want to do anything then his decision is made up already, it's done. All he has to do is have a secretary type up a little nasty gram. Let's see. I don't feel particularly optimistic I'll tell you that.
Spock.... As a Vulcan I don't really know that I would know optimism if it hit me between the eyes anyway.
