Nuts, Nightwing, you're talking about a
Fry's employee, right? They're positively
legendary for having no idea what they're talking about. Most of 'em wouldn't know a clue if it ran up and bit them on the leg. It's rather sad, really.
You can't even trust some of them to tell you where the store's restroom is! I'm not saying he couldn't be the one in the lot who knows what he's talking about, but I wouldn't trust a documented statement (let alone a rumor) from one of those guys without two other notorized sources, insider information from the company under discussion, and confirmation from a Recognized International Inspection Agency.
I'm not saying I have any idea what the real situation is, but I'd only ever bet
against whatever a Fry's-Guy told me.
