Your accusation against CORE is noted and, if true, is unfortunate. Nevertheless, it does not address the racist rhetoric of Thomas Suddes. Do you have a position on that? Fair enough, Blaids. Your accusation against CORE is noted and, if true, is unfortunate.

Nevertheless, it does not address the racist rhetoric of Thomas Suddes. Do you have a position on that?

Call and ask anyone from the "Sales Team" if they have ever missed a pay period. Third, Payday allows CORE to suggest the employee "look into payday" as a way to assist until payroll can be met. Perhaps you should ask CORE for clarification. I worked their. Call and ask anyone from the “Sales Team” if they have ever missed a pay period.

It does not address the racist rhetoric of Thomas Suddes. Second, that's quite an accusation. Can you provide supporting evidence? If not, it's tantamount to libel. Third, how can support of payday lending help them to "run" their organization unless they directly profit from it. Please clarify. Blaids –

Many weeks during the year employees don't get paid on time.

In reality, payday lending stores are located in easy to reach places, where people work and shop. While critics of the industry assign labels to payday lending customers in an attempt to further their political agendas, the fact is that we provide services to a broad cross section of Americans because there is widespread demand for the financial service we provide. Our customers represent a large demographic segment and cannot be grouped based on race, sex or religion.
