What are your thoughts on Menards? CEO is a fucking hardass.
>known to visit places and fire people on the spot if they don't appear to be working
>makes suppliers beg to be on store shelves
>corners the market in small to midsize cities to force plebs to either buy from them or drive long distance to a competitor
>private
>will shit on managers in order to maintain clean stores and precise work times

Your are not being forced to work for him. So yeah, he should do what he wants. It's a free market. If people disapprove of his ways, then they wil stop buying/working for him. Is he a douche? Yeah. But how does he corner the market exactly?

Mad respect for the guy

So open your own store and offer slightly better wages and friendly management. His employees will flock to you and he'll get stuck with untrained people who couldn't get any other job.

Or just go back to schooling or trade school so you don't have to work an awful job.

Ok so the fire people on the spot and the supplier thing is somewhat bad and could easily backfire, the other two is just being good at business.

Lived in a small Midwest city for a year now and never had to step foot in there.

The logo looks stupid and so do the flags at the top of the building. It all looks 20 years out of date.
>>
The name is gay, reminds me if a combination of manure and retards but I actually like the store and its cheap prices.

Sounds like a good guy to me

Post this on Plebbit if you want support, over here we use a thing called common sense.

It's way fucking better that Home depot or Lowe's. Better selection of pretty much everything and usually better prices.

They also have a pretty innovative app. I can walk around the outdoor lumber yard buying shit on my smartphone and schedule pickup. I show up at the dock, they scan my phone, and my order get magically ( by mexicans) loaded into my truck.

I'm about that Mernards life.

Menards is nicer than Home Depot or Lowes.

If they ever expand into the south where Home Depot and Lowes have a huge foothold, Home Depot and Lowes will be out of business.

Everyone I talk to agrees their lumber sucks.
