All this talk about Scarborough Faire has made it clear that the real
problem is not the company, its that none of you understand RIC (Rhode
Island Capitalism). I will use the bakery just down the street from where
I work as an example. Every morning they make say 80 plain donuts and 20
chocolate-covered donuts. Everyday by 8:30 AM they are out of the
chocolate-covered donuts and every night they toss out about 25 plain
donuts. Now, all you smart folks are thinking, why don't they make fewer
plain donuts and more chocolate-covered ones. Ah Ha! I've caught you in
your misguided thinking. Look, who is the expert on donuts anyway, the
cretins who buy them or the bakers who make them. Clearly, the bakers who
make them. These same bakers KNOW that people should buy 4 plain donuts
for every chocolate covered one. The problem is really the fault of the
customers for not ordering correctly. And, Rhode Islanders are far too
idealistic to bow to the whims of the masses when it comes to issues like
supply and demand (especially if demand stems from a bunch of out-of-state
students).
So, if when ordering car parts, you would purchase the parts that you
SHOULD be purchasing, I suspect there would be no problem. The culprit is
surely all of you who are trying to put too many chocolate donuts on your
cars!
