However, you forgot to mention the BP put on their own competing event at the same time as the protest with BS like free ice skating, free rides on a vintage carousel, free s’mores and hot chocolate , etc. Pathetic! This must have come out of Fallston's playbook under the chapter "Shove It In Your Opponent's Face." I didn't know about the newspaper ad, was that in the Post?<br /><br />It is amazing the twisted way they are spinning all of this. They really don't care that a large percentage of RTC's consumer base is so pissed off over this that they are losing us forever. BP, I am NEVER coming back to RTC unless you stop this greedy BS and start treating us and your tenant's with respect.Generic Usernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412900754136064810.post-44282674510662607682017-03-06T12:22:16.344-05:002017-03-06T12:22:16.344-05:00This made my day.
