Miss Doodle Mae: "This is the part of the year when people get serious about resolving issues from last year. And it looks like boss man Jojo of Jojo's Dollar Store has jumped on the bandwagon. At this morning's first staff meeting of 2012, he explained why he made a New Year resolution."
Jojo: Staff, my resolution is to really promote critical thinking. Every business day last year, I felt the fear, stress, anguish, frustration and anxiety of our customers. I noticed how the events of political and corporate partisanship, stubbornness and mean spirits have beaten down the spirits of the people.
"This is a new season to recognize a civil-rights hero, a couple of presidents, Black History Month and Valentine's Day. I want to wake up the zombified and mesmerized masses of people disappointed in the way things are going these days. I want people to become less superficial and more investigative. I want school children to know more about Dr. Martin Luther King than his 'I Have a Dream' speech. I want customers to read more instead of watching commercial television or listening to formatted radio stations. This year, I want to use my discount dollar store to help the people see what's going on."
Miss Doodle Mae: "So, to promote and establish more critical thinking in early 2012, look for more store items related to things that matter at Jojo's Discount Dollar Store's Post New Year's, Pre King Holiday, Black History Month, President's and Valentine Day sale."
