Who is this, and why does it suck to be him? The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2014 #1

He's one of the owners of the Market Basket, a popular store in MA. Evidently he and his cousin monmouth3 Jul 2014 #3

Actually, Market Basket is also in NH and Maine. smirkymonkey Jul 2014 #8

We shop there when I go up to Maine on weekends. It a great store! I hope the employees and Arthur T. win this one. It would be a shame to see all their hard work and loyalty go unrewarded and for corporate greed to win in the end.

He fired his cousin who was president of Market Basket because he was good to the employees. He didn't realize that 25,000 workers including truckers and managers would rally for the good guy to be hired back. Then he didn't realize that customers would boycott the store.

It's the only store in MA where the prices are at least $1 less for product than other supermarkets.
