In short: stuffy Fortune 500 company NCR settles agreement with neighboring longstanding mainstay gentlemen’s club The Cheetah, to remove their iconic rotating sign, presumably so it wasn’t so obvious that their fancy Midtown offices wasn’t practically right next to, a strip club
NCR is a company in which just hearing the name would probably elicit crickets from most people. But NCR is also the company that makes products that all around the world, people have seen their products: card readers, ATM components, and all sorts of POS equipment. Yeah, NCR is vastly responsible for the majority of that crap all across the globe.
They’re also a company that I have personally dealt with at a previous place I worked, and they were what I would describe as a problem child of a business to work with. Nitpicky as all hell, demanding, inconsiderate of both time and resources, I spent many extra hours of my life working on their shit, and with each round of corrections, they demanded fresh hard copies of their training materials to review, no matter how small or inconsequential the changes were.
No lie, I must’ve used at least two boxes of letter paper for just their training manuals alone, and that was just to develop them. I can’t imagine how many trees had to die for these fucks to actually produce them after they were finalized and approved to send to the printer.
Frankly, I have no love lost for NCR. I resent them as a company and I can’t help but twitch when I use a card somewhere and I catch a glimpse of their logo on the POS equipment that I have to use in order to finish a transaction.
But that was just how they affected me; and now they’re affecting the landscapes of our fair city, Atlanta? By forcibly having removed, one of icons of the city, that was here long before they even had any consideration of coming into Atlanta?
