What a pathetic interview today with Becky throwing softball, pillow questions at LLBean CEO and by the way, LLBEANS customers Hate the way the new return policy is being implimented and Bean is reaping great financial rewards from its "free" access bus into National Parks by selling countless other for fee tours. Its year over year results are down. Besides it is a private company, so why is it on CNBC squake box?
