I had always heard John Menard was a scumbag, but WOW. I never realized just how big of one. Check out this story. (http://www.milwaukeemagazine.com/currentissue/full_feature_story.asp?newMessageID=13642)

Sad. Now I wonder if maybe I'm being far too kind to the people who work for me.

He's basically a vile, soulless, micromanaging fascist prick.

One of my uncles worked at a Menards for several years and recently quit. He's happier than I've ever seen him.

Menards sells shit products and that is how they keep prices down. I feel like I'm walking into a cheap dollar store warehouse whenever I go in a Menards.

The commercials were always enough to put me off. That blustering white-haired guy with the cheesy, insincere grin always made me think Chester the Molester.

I think I've been in the local Menards once. After reading this shit, I don't think there will be a twice.

:D I agree.

I think I got about a paragraph into it when i noticed how long it was.

In the end, it won't effect me. I don't care if a guy is a jerk. There's probably lot of rich/spoiled CEOs who we wouldn't like.

Here in Lincoln, NE there's a Menards & Home Depot right next to each other and Menards beats Home Depot in prices with just about everything.

Lumber is lumber to me. I think their quality of products is fine.

But besides that, a fine American businessman!
