disclaimer:
This is not to berate anyone of Arab descent. Not all arabs are terrorists, in fact most aren't and on behalf of white Americans, I want to appologize to anyone who had problems after 9/11. However, as in every race; there are some who enjoy destruction, murder, and just causing trouble and that's what this below story is about. I didn't make this up, but got it through an email from a bus driver friend who got it from some other people.
The Budweiser Story
(not a joke)
This is TRUE!
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.
The 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, on June 26, 2009,
Fareed Katib closed the store and filed bankruptcy!
Good old American
Passive-Aggressive Ass-Whoopin!

Ok? Yeah, definitely passive-aggressive.

Aah, but there is probably another part to this story where the store owners sued all these companies for discrimination on the basis of race, which is unconstitutional, and whooped and hollerred all the way to the bank (probably City Bank, since it is mostly Arab owned) with the cash they got as compensation. Not to mention all the pepsi drivers and budweiser drivers and other assorted delivery guys who got jailed for stealing merchandize, because you can't walk into a store and pull products off the shelves, no matter what your reason.
But, that being said, sure, it's a pretty nice and definitely American way to get a message to someone and nothin' wrong with that. Why didn't all the town's people just stop shopping there and get their goat chese and kebobs somewhere else?

Oh and Budwiser? I hope these people go a bit more local and try Siera Nevada, now there's a beer americans should be proud off, Budweiser tastes awfully waterred down, that's a fact.

As I said I got this from a friend of my mom's because they used to drive city bus out of the same company. Actually, when I looked at it, it seems to have been passed around a bit by the list of email addresses. Actually, you're probably right. They could sue and most likely win because of discrimination, but the message never said what happened to the owners or the drivers and companies.

Well, heck, it's a good ol American story, not bad at all, only they shouldn't pretend it's true I guess. Then again I never believe anything that happened to "my mom's brother's ex partner's room mate's friend's baby sitter's third cousin". ;)

I, myself, never said it was true. This is not my story, but someone else's. Most of the time I ignore the junk I get sent from my mom's friend, but this was a neat story and that's mainly what I consider it. Besides, something like this would've been all over the news if it had been real.
