The way the cookie crumbles

2008.08.15

Say it ain’t so! Mrs. Fields Cookies is the latest victim of the non-recession, economic slump. According to DealBook, Mrs. Fields Famous Brands will be filing a chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, to restructure the company. Part of the plan includes minimizing losses at the retail locations, by letting go all of the pleasantly plump employees who work in the kitchens. Ok, that last part was totally made up. But it seems sensible. Imagine how much capital loss probably occurs from employees cramming the product down their throat, cookie monster style, while nobody is looking.  Maybe not, but the image is entertaining.
