Cathy Hughes: A Financial Disaster

Truett Cathy was born on March 14, 1921 in in Eatonton, Georgia. He attended Boys High School. His full name is Samuel Truett Cathy. He grew up in a boarding home his mother operated. There he learned the principles of hard work, fairness, honesty, loyalty and respect. From the age of eight, when he iced down the cokes he was selling in his front yard drink-stand, he saw the resulting growth in sales, he has certain ways to please his customers. In 1946, T. Cathy and his brother Ben opened a small restaurant and had put those principles to work and immediately began to experience their rewards.

     Cathy developed his flair for business early in life. As a boy he exhibited no unusual talents except a sharp business sense.

He learned to shuck corns, shell peas, wash dirty dishes, set the tables, shop for his mother at the grocery store, and flip eggs

In the case of Cindy Countess, severely mentally ill best fits her, because she had been “prescribed to Paxil to help in her mental illness that was like her mom” (FilmRise). According to Dr. Heide, “severely mentally ill offender suffers from irrational thinking and behavior” (CriminologyTV). Countess clearly was thinking irrationally after taking Paxil and that led to her behavior of mixing Paxil with alcoholic drinks and from there killed her mom in the bathroom. In my opinion, the best verdict for Countess would be second degree murder, because it was a killing done impulsively without premeditation. Countess also did not recall her killing towards her mom, due to the amount of Paxil that she took in addition to having alcoholic drinks

Part of his success was due to Cathy maintaining the mentality that his company focused on people rather than profits. One of his popular quotes on the matter was “We’re not just in the chicken business, we’re in the people business” (“S Truett Cathy Quotes.” Quoteswise, www.quoteswise.com/s-truett-cathy-quotes.html.) For that very reason, Chick-fil-A would remain closed on Sundays, use an innovative formula for developing managers and restaurants, and provide college scholarships to employees, making a great impact on the surrounding communities.
