Apparently, this incident has gone viral/international. A cashier at a Walmart in MO was fired for price-matching and hugging customers. He has some brain damage from an accident in his youth and has been with Walmart almost 20 years. There's going to be a rally tomorrow morning. Have any of you heard of this other than from me?

Re: "Hugs For Frank"
Originally posted by Hawkfeathers View PostThe author of the book, Daniel Woodrell, is from the same town as Frank.
But Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was right:
“Are they not fresh and beautiful?” I cried with all the enthusiasm of a man fresh from the fogs of Baker Street.
But Holmes shook his head gravely.
“Do you know, Watson,” said he, “that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.”
“Good heavens!” I cried. “Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?”
“They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
“You horrify me!”
“But the reason is very obvious. The pressure of public opinion can do in the town what the law cannot accomplish. There is no lane so vile that the scream of a tortured child, or the thud of a drunkard’s blow, does not beget sympathy and indignation among the neighbours, and then the whole machinery of justice is ever so close that a word of complaint can set it going, and there is but a step between the crime and the dock. But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser.
What we don't have here is much in the way of street crime. But the generational illness within families is so disturbing. That old joke about hillbillies and their sisters has more truth than is comfortable.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

Re: "Hugs For Frank"
Originally posted by Hawkfeathers View PostOh, yeah! Here, you can drive down dirt roads and see some ramshackle trailers with sagging porches and tarp roofs, and just as you think to yourself, that must be abandoned, out tumbles a family of 14 with maybe as many teeth all told, followed by six or seven hound dogs.
Yup - here, the highways and tourists came in in the lare 70s, so things have changed in 40-odd years, somewhat. But where you are... I shudder...
Couple of towns over, bunch of hillbillies decided that a couple of tourists were getting too friendly with the local wimmin, so they entertained themselves by bashing the tourist's heads in with bats and fed them to pigs.
The "disappearance" went unsolved for 10 years, 'cause anybody who knew anything was to scared (due to their houses being burned and their dogs turning up headless on their porches) to say anything.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
