    Did anyone else get this email? Is it true ya think?

    Budweiser incident, this is not a joke! This is how Budweiser handled those
    who laughed at those who died on the 11th of September, 2001... Thought you
    might like to know what happened in a little town north of Bakersfield,
    California.
    On September 11th, a Budweiser employee was making a delivery to a
    convenience store in a California town named McFarland. He knew of the
    tragedy that had occurred in New York when he entered the business to find
    the two Arabs, who owned the business, whooping and hollering to show their
    approval and support of this treacherous attack. The Budweiser employee
    went to his truck, called his boss and told him of the very upsetting
    event! He told his boss he didn't feel he could be in that store with
    those horrible people. His boss asked him, "Do you think you could go in
    there long enough to pull every Budweiser product and item our beverage
    company sells off of the shelves? We'll never deliver to them again." The
    employee walked in, proceeded to pull every single product his beverage
    company provided and left with an incredible grin on his face. He told them
    never to bother to call for a delivery again. Budweiser happens to be the
    beer of choice for that community. Just letting you know how Kern County
    handled this situation.
    And now the rest of the story: It seems that the Bud driver and the Pepsi
    man are neighbors. Bud called Pepsi and told him. The Pepsi driver called
    his boss who told him to pull all Pepsi products as well!! That would
    include Frito Lay, etc. Furthermore, word spread and all vendors followed
    suit! At last report, the store was closed indefinitely. Good old American
    Passive-Agressive Ass Whoopin'!
    THIS ONES FOR YOU!

    Even if they wanted to, they couldn't pull the products. I believe convenience stores pre-pay for them, so the store could either have the delivery person arrested for theft or sue Bud / Pepsi. :)

    Pretty good story except for the fact that they felt the need to point out that the men laughing were 'Arabs'. Could've done without that.
