Many many jobs created worldwide by a local company- its been good to this fam and I think many more. Great to communities as it requires many community hours for employees.

Now bringing a gun into a coffee shop in Seattle area - not wise after the Lakewood incident


Your statement is similar to the Walmart debate... Yes, it creates jobs, but it also kills tons of small businesses and those jobs... I have worked with them ( not as an employee), and know first hand how they conduct business on the back end (not visible to the public) and let me say that they are not on my list of reputable "local companies".

I'm not bashing them.... Just not a fan.
