Maybe the smartest move ever.
The next few months I assume they will have shit for business and will make any deal possible to keep the lights on.
Probably get a King set for next to nothing.

It's cool to make jokes about literally any other time in history when people died but this shit just crossed a line that can't be uncrossed...

The issue with the wal mart one - I think they had good intentions, but why do people not understand that you should not ever attempt to sell products under the guise of a national tragedy like 9/11? Why is this so hard to understand?
As for the San Antonio debacle.. First of all, it was one branch of the company in San Antonio that did it, AFAIK. They have all been (i think) fired. The main office, which is in Houston, apparently had no idea this was happening and is falling over their sword over it.
I'm kinda torn on this in some respects: No doubt the SA store is -DONE- as they should be. But as a business owner myself, I want to try to hire the best employees I can but no matter what, but at the end of the day, no amount of training will prevent all stupid shit that your employees may do. The best you can do is fall on your sword, apologize, and fire those employees immediately. I mean, really, what else can the guy do?

I see no problem with the wal mart thing either. I mean WTF, a store isn't allowed to put on a display anymore? The only problem I see is $3.33 for a 12 pack of coke and calling it a rollback price. Fuck man, at least roll that shit back to 2001 prices ($5 a case)
