Large Retail project bid

[dduffee260]

We had some ask us to bid on a project a while back. Not going to give the name but here's a hint. The largest retail store chain in the world. Well we declined and our reason was that we felt that they use untrained labor at cheap pricing, so we could not compete.

Fast foward to now. The electrical looks about the same as before from what we can see. The parking lot contractor did some restriping work on the parking lot. The striping looks very sloppy in my opinion and there is one other minor flaw. Rather than me try to explain it I will go ahead and attach a picture of the actual work. You be the judge.

It's nice in this Day and Time (even refreshing) that you have the freedom to say otherwise!

we went to run power to a new sign on a building one day .the name of the store was THE CHILDRENS STORE.but the new sign said THE CHILDERNS STORE .the store owner did not believe me until she walked out front with me and looked up.i found it funny but she did not.

One can giggle at the poor guy getting confused, after a day of the sun boiling his brain ... but what about a major manufacturer's in-house quality control department?

I have a DeWalt drill set (tool, 2 batteries) where each piece has a factory sticker that says "Inspected WHIT Pride"

Must have come from their West Virginia Factory.
