You know your right. I think I will go down to the local auto parts store and hang out for awhile. They sell candy bars and soda by the door, I can buy a soda, so I will be a paying customer...I am a friend of the owner, so he won't mind me hanging out.

Its obvious your complaining that your Bruce's is closing...your obviously not happy about it. Someone can complain without using the word COMPLAIN".

Wow, let me think about this for a minute...none, because I live in TOPEKA!!!! Just as I wouldn't expect you to shop at my local Wal-Mart.

Again, I have spent NOTHING at Bruces, because I live in TOPEKA. That is is Kansas in case you didn't notice and unless one of those California earthquakes have changed things, that is over 1000 miles away. How much have you spent at any store 1000 miles away?

I read just fine...the problem is too much people @#$%& about things they caused, contributed to or didn't stop.
