They need to be let in early to check on their "stocks", see.
First of all, what constitutes a "Tier One" company in New Orleans? I didn't know we had any. Secondly, just the concept of this pisses me off, and is like an invitation to infiltrate. If they stop me at one of the designated roadblocks, perhaps I'll just flash my (homemade) "badge" which I fashioned out of an old school ID and my Sears charge card. I'll say: "I'm going in to check the vital 'stocks' of Toughskins at our Metairie store. A police escort is not necessary."

Update #2: What Jeffrey said, too. I recommend blasting Ozzy Osbourne's "No more tiers" single, while going through checkpoints.

I have a city ID on a lanyard. Looks officially important enough... until you get to the part that says "library"
Like George Carlin said ... there's a club, and you ain't in it.

We just won't shop at those stores.
Hey, a worker's gotta make a living ya'know? Just listen to your Uncle Sam Daddy.
