10. I am a food service wholesaler and I can say without hesitation
that it is not. I just had another major account of mine declare bankruptcy. Left me holding the bag for over six grand. That makes a total of six accounts in 2003 that had to close their doors due to the economy. They were substantial accounts and it hurts. None of my employees will get their normal raise and that hurts worse because they deserve it. Local restaurants are not doing as well as in the past and that is a common complaint among them. People just don't have the resources to be able to eat out as often.
