    overtake meaning what? sell more?

    bell and king belong to pepsico, wendy's to that guy who owns carl's.
    somehow i don't forsee chick buying out either of them.
    and this should concern me because?

    its also not complicated to be open all days and hours without any one person having to be. this is why you have shifts.
    so that everyone can have two consecutive days off every week and know in advance what consistently they will be
    so they can plan their own lives.
    (and everyone doesn't have to subscribe to the same religious beliefs to make this possible either)

    (sometimes it takes unions to make this happen. that is why unions are a good thing to have)

    it just takes not having everyone have the same days and hours off as each other.

    age and gender are not directly related to the practice of logic, though i will grant there are demographic statistics.

    never tried one but i suppose if they specialize in chicken like Mary Browns place it would be good


    i dont really care about the owners political or sexual views ...if the food is good ill go there

    i don't fly super often, but i've never had a particularly bad airport meal other than that one. everything's overpriced, but the food hasn't been much different from what you would get elsewhere in my experience. then i went to the chic-fil-a and i got a sandwich that seemed to have been dehydrated and plastic wrapped back in the 80s, and was then re-hydrated by sticking it between the employee's ass cheeks for 5 minutes after i ordered it.

    why would the employees appreciate it? when i worked in food, it was always a battle to get enough hours to make ends meet. dropping an entire day of potential payroll makes that even harder. plus, a lot of fast food employees are doing it while going to school, or as a second job. which would mean sunday is the perfect day to work, since they're less likely to have those other obligations that day.

    Good points, but it seems to be working for this franchise. I was reading something that they tend to attract a conservative customer base, because of their religious and political views, so I wonder if many of the employees are like that, as well.

    McDonald's has already done extensive testing on automated restaurants and concluded that, for the immediate future, people seem to want a real person at the cash register, but that's only because they are not used to everything being automated. Even the delivery trucks can be automated, empower a single individual to oversee a large number of restaurants.

    yeah, that's fairly likely.

    The customer base of Chic-fi-la is always a little weird. Like they're all fresh off the assembly line from Bible college. You never see people who stand out and look different in Chic-fi-la. Just neatly pressed khakis and collared shirts as far as the eye can see

    When money and the gun do most of the talking worth listening too, everyone dresses the same, salutes the flag, and gets down on their knees, to beg for lower taxes and shorter hours.

    Shake-n-Bake is the only way to go,
    For those who like to tango.
