Meal Assembly Watch

It seems Snidely Whiplash has taken our survey hostage, tied it to the railroad tracks and mercilessly clicked the Vote button.

Oh no! And there’s a train coming!

Last night in the wee hours of the morn, someone who thought that the truth was too painful a pill to swallow has decided to save us all from ourselves and adjust the survey results so that a more favorable outcome could be achieved. As such the results of the survey are no longer rooted in reality and while we can all feel good about ourselves and the work we have done to turn this industry around overnight, I fear this jubilation will be short lived and in the light of sobriety we will feel that something is strangely amiss.

I personally believe this is the result of some political entity since they are known for vote manipulation, tampering and stuffing (at least that’s what I read) and since we are in an election year the evil forces of the hanging chad must be out in force practicing their wicked ways and preparing themselves for the task ahead.

Either that or some delusional and inebriated youth was trying to log into World of Warcraft and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working.

But I digress…

At any rate, someone has deliberately altered the polling results so they are null and void. I do not have what the results were before being changes, but it was done last night in the early hours of the morning. While this is obviously disappointing and annoying since this may have been one of the first times we actually had real data on how stores were doing, it is also amusing that someone out there is so scared and distressed over the results that they would go to such lengths to change them.

It would seem the saboteur was dedicated to the cause and spent quite a bit of time clicking since the votes are nearly double what they were previously (probably an extra 80 or so votes for each). Both polls have been affected so unfortunately we have lost the results. I have been tracking the results to make sure the survey was working but not what the individual votes were. Of course both polls are now closed so please accept my apologies on that. I was truly hoping we could gather some real data store owners could use in their research and for our own education and benefit.

Should I take this as a sign that some people are becoming scared of this site?

I will do what I can to salvage the data, I know a few tricks of my own Mes Amis!

And thanks to “Former Kool-aid Drinker” for spotting this bit of conspiracy.
