[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2737848, member: 1535"] My theory is that it is tied to employee efforts to unionize and theyre shutting down the stores with the most pro union activity. Just a hunch. Ive shopped at the Admiral WM store manymany times, and alot of times it was at 3am or later. Ive seen that store change alot over the years and guess I was in there so much I didnt notice the decline. Shoppers there used to be mostly mid to low income whites and blacks, then the latinos arrived, then later it was just one big mix of peoples. Been alot of gang shootouts in that parking lot- one night it was even the Asian gangs shooting it out out there in the parking lot. Ive seen rival 'gangsters' walking past each other inside the store throwing signs and snicker to myself how ghay that gang shite looks. And I wasnt always carrying when there either, especially if Im in town working at a club doing sound or tech work for a band knowing I might have a beverage or three, most times all I have had on me are just my anger issues my fists and a knife, which has got me by just fine in life before ever getting a CC permit or even before I ever thought about being able to get a permit. I was walking up to the front door there one Friday night really late and as I got close to the door this small older white woman came up to me out of nowhere and asked me if I would walk her to her car. I said sure, no problem. But, as we were walking along I was wondering why she picked me other than I was the only near whiteish looking dude around at the time. Hell, maybe Ill be the one to rob her. Im tattoed neck to ankle, long hair stuffed under an always on backwards ballcap, dressed that night in my usual, what my wife calls my 'prison issue' look. So when we got to her car and I made sure she was in and safe she tries to give me 5 bucks. I said no thank you and she called me a good boy. Lolll. Whatever.
