"Maybe at this moment, Donnie Block just wants us to act in step with his tempo. One must realize that in the business world, when you follow someone else's pace, it's the easiest way to run into trouble!"
Looking at all these people reluctant to revolutionize A&P, John Hardford was out of options.
In A&P he certainly held the highest authority, but when it came to personal interests, no level of authority could compel an individual to relinquish their own benefits.
And when these individuals united, even John Hardford was powerless to bring about change.

Back in his office, John Hardford slammed things around in a fit of anger.
"These people have grown old, they have lost the passion they had at the start of the business, sooner or later they will lead A&P into a dead end!"
After venting, John Hardford, gasping for breath, sat down on the sofa and spoke to his confidant Lao Hobbs.
