On the way to band practice tonight, I took a look at Wegmans...and it is in fact ugly. While I love Wegmans, the architecture is pretty bad. I know how much you prefer mom and pop businesses, as do I. Hard to find 'em nowadays. Never thought much about the exterior look of Wegman's, but it did attract lots of business to that area. Used to be a dismal strip mall hardly visited by anyone. The one place I miss is the Pizza joint that was supposed to return, but I guess they were outbid by the likes of Pier One, Staples and that overpriced too plastic looking bread franchise. Wegmans, on the plus side, has a great reputation for customer satisfaction and employee benefits (quite well according to published info and what friends who work there tell me. That outweighs the architecture for me. For the past several years they made the top 3 of Fortune's Best Companies to Work For." Hate the box warehouse stores like Costco and BJ's. But Costco is also a great place to work for they tell me; even the folks pumping gas there affirm that. But the clincher for me was that Costco was closed on Labor Day. A real tribute to working men and women especially since all the other stores were open for Labor Day sales. BJ's is quite the opposite with their work force. Worst of all is that box Rite Aide in AP. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
