Getting laid off from WF is BAD for local businesses. Neighborhood liq-or store doesn't sell as much booze .... folks leaving WF=less drinking.
Then there is the late-night munchies sessions that are cancelled. Less groceries being bought by the now-not-drinking WF employees.
Local GYM is empty and losing $$. Since no drinking, no late night snacking, no exercise is now needed.
Don't even get me started on the local pharmacy sales being down.....ex WF employees have no more depression, no more high blood pressure, frankly.....no more problems.
So, in a nutshell - getting laid off by WF is just plain bad for business....period.
