Subject: Beggars and Choosers is closing

Beggars and Choosers is closing after Christmas. We will be open Mon. Dec. 21 thru Thur. Dec. 24. The store was robbed the day of the street fair. We were hit hard and it has taken the joy out of working and I need to take a break to get my groove back.

We have had a great 32 years serving this community and I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have supported me, my family. and Beggars and Choosers. Please continue to support the local business’s and resturants in town. They need your support in order to continue serving you.

Subject: Christmas gifts

Yesterday I was at Mina Bean’a in Siler  City getting some delicious hot chocolate, and The Global Heart has their shop set up there – all fair Trade merchandise.

Everything is beautiful and useful, and at incredible prices!  I bought a lovely wooden bowl with bamboo inlay – I’ve seen similar bowls in Asheville, Raleigh etc for $100-$200. I paid $10. They have amazing and gorgeous things at The Global Heart – silk scarves and silk jackets, placemats, coasters, candles & holders, all sorts of bags from yoga bags to shopping bags and purses, there is stuff hanging up – kids mobiles and wind chimes..  And everything seemed to be at least half price.   So if you are looking for a different and beautiful Christmas gift, it’s well worth checking them out

Subject: Re: Who Accepts PLENTYs

Thank you for sending me this list.  I now know which of my friends I should pressure to end their participation.

I was there in Pittsboro Feed when Lyle was putting the pressure on Christine and David, it was sickening. Y’all are a little too overzealous in your pursuit of the program.  You yourself talked me out of participation with how pushy you were being.  It looks like that zeal is going to be what kills it.  It also will probably kill the willingness of folks to work with you and Lyle in future endeavors.

Subject: Customer Service is hard to find in PBO

This weekend I had 2 examples of terrible customer service in PBO, and  if they weren’t offset by other examples of really good service, I’d have said customer service is DEAD in Pittsboro.

Subject: JR Moore & Son

JR Moore & Son, “A country store with a little bit of everything”, was founded in 1935 in the small community of Gulf, NC. The store was established by John Moore and his son Richard.  After the passing of his father, Richard continued expanding and evolving the store.  His philosophy was that the key to success in business was – when you see a need, you meet it.  In 1968 Mr. Moore asked the current owner, Rayvon King, to come work with him at the store.  After Mr. Moore’s passing in 1978, Rayvon bought the remaining share of the business from Mr. Moore’s widow, Mrs. Faye Moore.  In the 30 years since Mr. Moore’s passing, Rayvon has carried on his principles of when you see a need, meet it and you have to have the stock to sell.

Subject: LBD & Big Boxes

Hi All,
For a bunch of years I (Leela) was employed at one of our local “big-box” grocery stores.  I echo Julia Kennedy’s experience when she states: “Food is often destroyed when it’s “freshness” time expires (we’re talking a couple of hours here, not days), not offered to local food shelters or even to their own employees.
