Polh director of the training division of psychological service at fair Elgh Dickinson University in Hack in Jack n a has let me know int he we the author of the so question and that they were previously published in children today. We regret the misinformation and Are pleased id set tiie record straight. Writer offers realistic View of cafes since so much has been written about cafes lately with most of it being criticism i thought you might want a different Point of View. So. How about my two cents Worth. After almost two years of Reading about the great american rip off cafes and the great 12 percent to 31 percent savings according to Nielsen Survey that cafes is providing its customers in t in about Lime that All this bickering came to a halt and people under stand what is real of course the customer is shopping for Good bargains yet he must realize the Mission or cafes. So a couple of comments Tor both the shop per and cafes first cafes is big business. It must generate prof it to support mar and to build those huge Beautiful modern stores. Image is important and when you re competing stateside with k Mart Wal Mart scars and the like you gotta took Good. So if you think cafes is Here to serve you at Cost plus a few pennies. You be got another thought coming. In fact you May find that gaffes and 7-elevens have Many things in common such As fast Friendly convener but not necessarily the most economical service it s really a sort of catch 22." you can pay less when you shop at cafes and pay More when you participate in mar activities or you can pay More at cafes and pay less to participate in mar activities. Someone has apparently chosen the latter therefore forget the huge savings of Days gone by. Second item we Are reminded often As to How fortunate we Are to be Able to buy at almost unbelievable savings through cafes. That is. According to the Nielsen Survey. Now did anyone Ever Stop to think about How much it Cost to have that Survey made and for what reason was the Survey made be it image ego or whatever it s still a big waste of Money. About the first thing one learns in a statistics class is that figures can be manipulated to say what one wants them to say. In a two Man race was the loser a last place finisher or was he the runner up so while there is no doubt that the Nielsen Survey a accurate and True it s Hogwash. Why because cafes told Nielsen what items to compare when where and with whom to make the comparison. Let a smart shopper set the guidelines for Nielsen one who knows where the Best Price Are and who consistently buys Sears wholesale houses mail order Etc. Without a doubt Nielsen will show a completely different set of figures that will not be so complimentary. Now customers let s not be Loo Hasty to condemn cafes. While the prices May not be the Belt in Al cases Seldom if Ever Are they the worst. So. Why Don t we Stop All this by a a Liing about cafes it s really a pretty Good operation and besides in s fast Friendly convenient and maybe not As economical As you d like but you re not being ripped off. Furthermore if we Knock off the crying maybe we will not be frequently reminded of Nielsen and How Many of our profit dollars went to Tell us How Lucky we Are to have an cafes.

Now while our present governor Ain t no Saint we hated to admit in we had been beaten. In our dark hour of despair who should ride to our Rescue but speaker of the House and fellow texan Jim Wright. His support of the communist Reeme in Nicaragua to the bitter end approach to latin american politics combined with the they must just be lost answer to the Cross Border invasion into Honduras by the communist forces wrestled the biggest Embarrass ment title away from Arizona and Back id Texas. Jim Wright s stand not Only qualifies him for the big St embarrassment but possibly the biggest fool As Well.
