How many full time retail workers do you know? I'll bet a decade ago, you maybe knew one or two. If you're old enough to remember the '80s and '70s, I'll bet you knew a handful of people who worked full time in retail. Today? How many? How many people do you know who work full time at a Rite Aid, or a Best Buy, or a Target, or a grocery store, or anything like that? Full. Time. Not 32 hours. Not management. Regular, non-management retail workers. I'll bet for most of you, it's none. The media gets their business information from company spokespeople. The NY Post is reporting that Best Buy is raining cash on its employees right now because....Best Buy's PR people are telling them that.

Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
