And the saga continues... (Spoiler alert: Jimmy's claiming that he has sold Shotgun Sam's.)
As some of you may remember, Jimmy posted the following on his Facebook page six days ago:
I get very defensive when people talk smack about my employees. They were very hard working an dedicated people.
But, as of yesterday, he's back to despising them. I've lifted this discussion with a couple of his (amazingly loyal) sycophants directly from his Facebook page. (I've cleaned it up for the forum.)
Jim Peters Rice: I will Never have a business again where I have to have employees, NEVER!!!!
Rusty Hunter: How come?
Jim Peters Rice: Because all the employees I have hired are only concerned about two things? How much do I make an hour and what days off do I have. They care Nothing about working.....
Linda Jones: Not everyone is like that Jim.
Jim Peters Rice: Just most of them they were very unappreciative of their job that I was providing for them stealing and damaging stuff. Most and I mean most of the employees I had were scum bags. Probably had two or three good ones out of the whole bunch
Linda Jones: You need to screen them better. Find someone with good character.
Jim Peters Rice: Linda have you ever invested a $120,000 in opening a business for these s*** heads to come in a deliberately damage things burn pizzas and just generally not give a s***.??.?
Linda Jones: No I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. Are you going to open SAMs again? Check your backgrounds better this time.
Jim Peters Rice: I have sold it. Doctors are saying no employees...
Linda Jones: Oh ok. You do need to reduce your stress with your condition.
So, of course... it's their fault. Those wascally employees, asking unacceptable question about their pay rate and their days off! Oh, the audacity of those darn employees!
To summarize: It's the fault of the employees, his health problems, his dentist, and his customers. None of this could ever have been Jimmy Rice's fault... because he'll pretty much always be the victim.
I'm not sure if he's actually sold it (tough to believe anything he says), but one has to wonder who would invest in a money pit with such a horribly tarnished reputation.
