Steve and Barrys is a bunch of crooks. They owe there vendors millions of dollars. This should be paid out of there own pocket

It only go's to show.. all business no matter how big or small.. have not learned the #1 rule of business.. that is.. you must be CHEEP!! That is, when it comes not only to paying employess, stock, and boses but also to RENT!! I have been a business major going back to Jr High then Jr college and then got my BS in Interdispary Studies that was business, & Beh Sci. but would anyone ever hear what I had to say.. NOOOOO so you get what you deserve. I have not worked for Steve & Barry's but have applied for work there several times.. now they are headed for the scrap heap.. This could have been avoided had they followed the first rule of business!! That also applies to your personal life too..
