(4,444 posts)I know Advance Auto parts. At most there are 10 people who work there. Especially in a community like Ferguson. I live in such a community

Believe me when I say the 8 people who worked there did not get the average and I doubt the manager did, either.
Now, was it a job? Yes. Did it pay better than Wendy's? Barely, but yes. It's def. up to the comp, whether they think they can continue to make money there.
Rebuilding from something like this can actually be an economic boon. It's happened before and it will happen again. You'll never believe it, but construction jobs sometimes pay better than customer service.
The obvious argument is that no business will ever invest money somewhere where people have expressed dissatisfaction with the status quo. This is where you and I will agree to disagree since I believe anywhere a business thinks they can make money they will.
Anyway, my point was advance auto parts is not a great employer, never was. If they rebuild it'll be a boon to construction. If they don't, it'll a be a boon to the community.
