Isac Aguero May Try To Get Job At Anheuser-Busch


UPDATED: 2:23 pm EST February 14, 2005



RACINE, Wis. -- The battle of the beers took a new twist in Racine this week when a Miller beer distributor fired an employee whose picture was in the paper. He was drinking a Bud Light.

/snip/

Aguero said when he went to work on the day his picture hit the paper, the place was abuzz.

"When I came in, they said, 'You're in trouble for drinking Bud Light,'" Aguero said.

Then, his boss gave him the ax.

Heck, I'd sell my pic to Anheuser-Busch, be their "poster boy", with a slogan sumthing like

"I like Bud so much I changed JOBS"

:shrug:

1. Oh Please!
These companies are just looking for any reason to get rid of employees.

First of all, I didn't write the headline OR the article

Secondly, how do I, or anyone for that matter,

KNOW that the distributor is NOT part of Miller Brewing?

3. Hubby works for a supermarket chain that used to terminate
any employee who was found to be shopping the competition! They don't do that anymore. Don't know why. Maybe they were sued.

This competition stuff is nuts. Maybe if they had given the employees a decent discount, this guy would have been drinking their beer.

5. Talk about bad PR moves.
How many people do you think saw that guys picture in the paper, and how many of those even noticed the brand of beer?

Now how many are going to read this article?
