TCP owns both TCP and TDS so if they are freezing wages, and in this economy I wouldn't doubt it, that might be what's up. IMHO TCP took on more than it oculd handle with TDS and is in way over thier head. Maybe they are resturcturing and closing stores to help and now freezing wages,--doesn't bode well for short term feelings of employees. If restructuring hopefullyit keeps them out of Bankruptcy, but in this econmy I would be concerned that most families are using more hand me downs and less TCP new purchases and TDS is usually not necessity spending either.
