I spoke to the manager of one of the stores Joe.. he told me that it would be a simple thing to do, but that the order to not do it came down from corporate and that he would risk losing his job if he did it. So I'm thinking that someone in their corporate office has reached their Peter Principal spot in life.

(And for those of you that don't know what the Peter Principal is, basically it's a statement that says that people will continue to rise in their given profession until they become incompetent in their job. In other words, if you are competent in your job you will get promoted up the next rung of the corporate ladder.. and you will continue to do so for as long as you are competent and can do your job. But eventually you'll hit a spot where you cannot do the job...it's bigger than you can do. That means that you are now incompetent. That's your Peter Principal position).

Like I said at the beginning, it sounds like someone at CompUSA Corporate has now hit their Peter Principal position. They are incompetent.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
