By putting his cashiers on BLAST, Roberts made his cashiers a projected target for fellas who looking for 'an easy piece." And young cashiers come from older cashiers (and older women) having babies. And slaves were forced to breed to increase the work force.

This recall was issued two weeks ago and the chemical the drug is contaminated with is a carcinogen.. yes it can cause cancer so persons taking the medication should act accordingly. QUICK!

So why do you want me to call names or give dates? So you can victimize the person even more? You trying to discredit what I post does not negate that fact that racism does exist and yes here too in The Bahamas. Talk to any Black Bahamian that lives in Treasure Cay or anyone that has worked in the tourism industry for at least a year.

For the record Super Value pays $1.00 on each of its shares every year.

RE:That analysis is shallow if you weren't actually watching prices...fortunately I was watching prices and even yesterday I lamented how the price for lamb chops moved from $1.99 a pound pre VAT to $5.39 today. And many other prices have increased. Apparently Super value and other stores add a percentage on to the VAT because they have to lay out this money when they purchase goods so it does add to the cost of doing business. And if you are watching prices, the banks have scheduled increases in their fees to begin August first. But some prices, like lamb chops have more than doubled over the past two years.

So when the zero-rated VAT kicks in on the breadbasket items, the economy will experience the reverse of what happened when the VAT was increased and maybe even a little better. Remeber the VAT was increased from 7.5% to 12% but come August 1, it will be reduced from 12% to zero. So consumers will not only experience a decrease in the cost of essential foodstuffs, but the 'feel good' effect of having more purchasing power tends to drive shoppers to spend more. The only concern, like Mr. Roberts indicated, was will the government be able to make up for the 2/3 reduction in VAT it will be experiencing on food items. And if not this can spell trouble down the road as the increase in VAT to 12% will be nullified by the removal from breadbasket items. But if the government can sustain the numbers, this will serve as an additional boost for the economy and stimulate more growth in the economy. And if there are no hurricanes and tourism can experience another booming winter season, next year will be better.

If they didn’t see fit to give it to you when you was living, it sure doesn’t mean nothing to you when you dead. So if you gotta die to receive recognition you’ll be just ok.

@hrysippus why do you want names and dates? To victimize the person ay? Talk to any person working in the tourist industry and they can tell you a book of their own experiences. Of it is expected that someone like you would deny racism exists. And your vain attempt to discredit me does not make racism no less real.
