[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how many vendors they have stiffed.[/quote] I wonder how much the owners have taken in income. Tax is an expense, just like rent. That wording is in very poor taste. It's not like the DC government has it in for this particular shop -- the rules are the rules. If they screwed up, they should borrow on their credit line.[/quote] I think a lot of people are nitpicking. The owners did not hire a PR firm to write a professional press release. The tone is debatable. Whether you contibute is up to you but there may be a language barrier and to read into the website the thought that they are somehow trying to shift the blame to the government, or to do any more than say "Hey, come help us out" is really a reach. When you see a sign in a store window that says "Lost our Lease! Going out of business" do you question the morality of shopping there? There's an awful lot of high and mighty people on this forum who seem to split hairs about everything and hold everyone around them to the highest standard possible, reading nuance upon nuance into human behavior.[/quote]
