This guy sounds like an asshole. I guess that means chances are ... he's an asshole.

@jmcrookston @ai6yr 1.5 million doesn’t go that far across 1500 stores. We’re probably talking about typical bonuses of less than a hundred dollars.

Yup. Probably a lot less because there's more than one employee per store.

I bet you if an employee stole a bun, they'd be fired. How come this CEO hasn't been fired for his poorly thought out two-for-one promotion. (Don't answer that it's rhetorical.)
