I hated shopping elsewhere last week. Paid more, got less and had a more depressing experience.

This waiting is killing us. Meanwhile, there was a tornado in Revere, MA causing massive damage--no injuries.

Without customers or employees the only other choice is to sell it as scrap.

Be refreshing to see this repeated elsewhere.

"It is unclear if Market Basket's board will accept ousted C-E-O Arthur T Demoulas's offer to buy the company, and no word if workers who have walked off the job will return" -NECN feed now

Apparently, the wife of one of the executives that got fired reported that the 4 pm meeting is confirmed but no one knows what it's going to be about. Nervous here.
