Not many folks exhibit the level of character Ms. Sherman has.  For once, a GREAT decision by a court that will hopefully send a message.

Finally, someone with integrity who was not punished.

amen, they should be punished for taking advantage of people who are fleeing the storms and trying to protect themselves.

I suggested that he contact Coca Cola bottling and remind them about the freeze on emergency supplies and that if they didn’t correct the price, TURN THEM IN.  To date Coca Cola says that their price increase was initiated before the State of Emergency and is legal.  My point was that the order of the goods took place before the order and delivery of the goods took place after the emergency order and the price should not have been raised.

There is JUSTICE in this old world after all.  Hats off to this woman for standing up for what is right.  MAYBE JUST MAYBE the AP and the national news will pick up on this and show businesses that price gouging will not be tolerated and trying to force your employees to break the law will come back to bite you in the butt.  Gov. Barbour issued a state of emergency last Thursday at 2pm freezing all prices on emergency supplies.  Friday I walked into a local grocery store where the manager and a coke man were talking about bottled water.  Just then the asst. mgr brought the price labels over off the racks and handed them to the manager and he gave her the new ones which were $2 a case more.  I explained to him that what he was doing was price gouging and that I would report it.  He looked stunned.  A few minutes later he approached me and told me that he was going to lose over $100 on that palette (sp?) of water because of what I told him.  He didn’t up the price but COKE DID to him.

This should tell you a lot about the Jackson County & The Mississippi Employment Security Commission.  Bet they go to bed at night thinking nothing of what their bad decisions caused.  I think we need to investigate the Unemployment investigators then find out why Days Inn Management authorized a person to break the law.  Then again, this happens everywhere as soon as tradegy is at their back door.  what we need is homeland security to take these businesses out of business and put the management on the chopping block.  this is a total miss management of authority and that person or persons should be prosecuted for breaking the law.  and i mean prosecuted not just a tap on the hand.

Noe they should go after the company she worked for and prosecute them to the fullest, People that try to take advantage of others when thier world is already in chaos should pay enourmous penalties, and lose thier bus. license for a long time.

I can’t much blame her I would have quit to! I don’t know where people get off taking advantage of a bad situation! Lots of money hungry folks in todays world!!
