Uh..... You couldn't be more wrong Chuckewe, about pretty much all of what you said. After the McDonald brothers refused to sell Kroc their very first store — the Big M — Kroc opened up a McDonald’s right across the street and drove them out of business. “If any of my competitors were drowning, I'd stick a hose in their mouth and turn on the water,” he said. “It is ridiculous to call this an industry. This is not. This is rat eat rat, dog eat dog. I'll kill 'em, and I'm going to kill 'em before they kill me. You're talking about the American way — of survival of the fittest.” And about Ray Krocs wife.. Joan Kroc was a B*tch! When Ozzie Smith was upset about not getting paid more $$$ when his contract was renewed by the San Diego Padres (owned by Ray & Joan Kroc) he put an ad in the SD Tribune that said "Major leage baseball player looking for part time work to supplement income". Joan Krocs response was to publicly offer him a job as a assitant gardener on their estate. |
