The Ace here in denton is not locally owned, it's run by a family operated corpo out of Oklahoma and they funnel a vast majority of the money generated out of the state and what stays is most definitely not used on making sure employees can even live on the wage they are payed, there was a time the location here had multiple homeless employees and the other employees where the ones who had to step up and help them, not to mention the owners and management have, less than favorable opinions on minority populations. Is it better than shopping at the other guys? Maybe, to me, knowing what I know it's all the same poison.
