Save the Tortillas and save my JOB

Sooo... update on this week at work.

La Bonita Ole' is a local tortilla making factory in Tampa, FL. They make delicious tortilla's and chips make with extra virgin olive oil rather than butter, no preservatives, no artificial stuff, blah blah (it's healthy).

They have about 100 employees and they operate 24hours. It's pretty impressive really... it's like watching Discovery Channel's, "How it's Made" on chips and tortilla's. Anyway, I stop in this week saying hello like I normally do and noticed that nothing was operating. Apparently they've declared bankruptcy. I asked, "why is nothing operating and a bunch of people are here?" basically his answer was that the owner is still trying to keep the business open, but they had so many tortilla's made and no one is buying............so they were just cleaning all the machines.

But that was just one less sale for me. If you're really interested, Tammy, the owner of La Bonita Ole' has a website to save the company and keeping people employed. www.savethetortillas.com

Please go to http://www.savethetortillas.com and electronically sign the petition. Save this company, and help keep up my sales. More importantly you're saving a lot of peoples jobs and damn good tortillas.
