Hows that business model go?

So I stopped by the beer store, the place I get the fixins for beer. Here's what I need. "Sorry we don't have that." Excuse me the beer store doesn't have the ingredients to make beer? Basically you have a store with no inventory. OK how does that make money?

Round one

Well the first round of layoffs has rolled through work today. Rumor mill was at full speed this morning. I was talking with the lead in the returns area. He was commenting on how my department and his should be spared as we are usually understaffed. He was let go, probably due to his salary. Work is like a mini soap opera makes going there everyday interesting.
