I don’t know enough about plumbing to question the length of time, if the problem is deep enough.

Well, if you think a multi-billion dollar company is going to close stores (with attendant bad publicity), fire thousands of workers and lose millions of sales for half a year because of "deep plumbing" issues, please don't let me stop you!

You don’t think that a multinational corporation wouldn’t close 6 stores (or whatever it was) if they were hit with corporate terrorism that was deep enough?

They won’t even most of those sales because most of those customers would just go to the nearest one.

None of us know what is going on, so anything said, whether it be union-busting or corporate terrorism or a workaround of labour laws, we don’t know.
