" Budweiser incident (not a joke!) How Budweiser handled those who laughed at
those who died on the 11th of September, 2001...
Thought you might like to know what happened in a little town North of
Bakersfield, California. After you finish reading this, please forward this
story on to others so that our Nation and people around the world will know
about those who laughed when they found out about the tragic events in New
York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon.
On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a convenience
store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the tragedy that had
occurred in New York when he entered the business to find the two Arabs, who
owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their approval and support
of this treacherous attack.
Budweiser employee went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very
upsetting event! He didn't feel he could be in that store with those horrible
people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in there long enough to
pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage company sells there? We'll
never deliver to them again."
The employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage
company provided and left with an
incredible grin on his face. He told them never to bother to call for a
delivery again. Budweiser happens to be the beer of choice for that community.
Just letting you know how Kern County handled this situation!!
And now the rest of the story. It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi man
are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. Pepsi called his boss who told
him to pull all Pepsi products as well!! That would include Frito Lay, etc.
Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed suit!
At last report, the store was closed indefinitely. Good old American
Passive-Aggressive Butt Whoopin'! Pass this along. America needs to know that
we're all working together.
Best regards,
