    We should hold nestle responsible for the obesity epidemic in this country.....

    I go to a fortune 50 company that won't let you back up without a spotter...kinda depends on the legal team I guess....

    The Hawkins spring water is actually my preferred bottled water and is truly a superior product compared to other municipal sources that need a lot of treatment to make it "clean and drinkable"

    And somehow you feel reassured by the fact that because it's sold in a plastic bottle then it must be pure? I'm sure it's pure water, pure right out of the community water supply.

    No, not this water. (Ozarka sourced from Wood county, TX plant) And no, there is no community water supply in Hawkins, TX that could support this place. That water is pumped straight out of the springs underneath Hawkins county TX and it's good without any treatment.

    A couple of drivers got backed over in Hawkins last year. This policy is the direct result of that.

    That argument makes no sense at all. That's why insurance companies exist, and it's what they live for. So they can fight about who pays for what, while the rest of us continue about our daily business whilst paying the insurance premiums.

    Interesting. But 1 in a million instances do not warrant such a policy regardless, IMO. The sign should probably read "Really bad truck drivers should exit the facility and have your boss reassign the load to someone else in an effort to protect others who may try and offer assistance with your backing"
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    But one company wants to make it a quick fight (Nestle). The other wants to drag it out as long as possible. Throw a 3rd in there and they can drag it out forever, which isn't in Nestlé's interest. Put up a sign and Nestle can go after both of them at the same time.
