  1. My numbers were annual per store sales at about $2.5 million I stand by that
  2. Can you please show some web links/cites pointing to this info
  3. I could go on and on here....but won’t unless asked. I’ve got many, many years in this sort of business - marketing, consulting, advertising, both sides of franchising. Here’s the reality....people say they want healthy at fast food/fast casual outlets...but they don’t buy the healthy products. The products are there to avoid the “veto vote”, the customer in the car, in the group, or the family member who insists on “healthy”...even if that’s a salad with high fat toppings McDonalds is being cautious because they need to carefully watch sales and how that affects franchisees, corporate earnings, and shareholder price as they introduce more healthy products to sales mix. As McDonalds is in the stratosphere of the top 6-7 chains ringing up more that $2 million/annual sales....they can afford to experiment, what percentage of $2 million annual sales do suppose salads with healthy dressings and apple slices are in the sales mix? Relatively minuscule. Focus groups say time and time again “fast food is my guilty pleasure“, “French fries are my favorite”, “I’ll eat healthy during the week”, “I eat healthy at home”, etc. My point is....big fast food and fast casual chains will offer more healthy choices when consumers *actually* demand it with their buying dollars. Right now it’s “perceived healthy” for the politics, let’s see when real healthy arrives??
  4. Who remembers these classic thighs <sigh>
  5. I don’t want to sound dismissive but I also suspect that based on all the rate-bashing that goes on here when $300-400/hour gets approached - this forum isn’t populated by a demographic wanting “high end” agencies. As curiousity seeking...maybe. That said I’m not sure where else one would start other than here?
  6. Use the search function with “Borek” as the key and you’ll find many discussions
  7. You can load up on your healthy White Castle
  8. And this is why the topic always comes up...poster isn’t getting attention from provider....so goes to forum posting for attention
  9. Lol....I use a mix of both for pie crust (or lard) too - and I will never look at the Crisco baking blocks in my freezer the same way ever again
  10. It’s like a doll factory, yuck
  11. My sympathies, I still open the front door in the morning wondering if my cat is going to be there....even though he passed 2 years ago
  12. Well his post was from 11 years ago so not really current news....
  13. Thanks for checking
  14. Did you google the phone #? Basic vetting
  15. Was reported...apparently not acted upon
  16. “O” rings? Great idea....do you put them around cock AND ball sack or just around the base of your cock?
  17. Sorry, I can’t get past first few words...
  18. I just started it (yay me!) and my (new January 2018) insurance didn’t charge a copay so far? My blood pressure me was usual $5 but zero for truvada
  19. This coyness happens on Seeking Arrangements a lot too....
  20. Dozens and dozens....put up a post asking about someone you see that you’re interested in. Be SURE and include their Rentmen link and you’ll get info
  21. To ferret out and discover fake pics...unfortunately it’s quite common
  22. Also, check your settings in Settings>DropBox>Photos>Read and Write
  23. Does it look like this? If DropBox is in the top row I think that shares it, that’s why you’re getting then”message” and whatnot. Bottom rows are save options....I think
  24. :eek:
