  1. This +1 sums it up for me
  2. Tastee Freez is what I believe you’re referring to
  3. You sure about That?
  4. “PSA” means one thing at your urologist but is “per store average” in feeder biz, a common acronym and an oft quoted figure.
  5. Everyone has self responsibility for their own level of risk
  6. “Move on...” is always good advice, if only more clients/posters understood
  7. “...and arranges clients for them” is pretty clear. No one likes the harsh reality, but there it is
  8. If it walks like a duck: pimp pimp/ noun 1. a man who controls prostitutes and arranges clients for them, taking part of their earnings in return. synonyms: procurer, procuress;
  9. Well while the OP @JD87 does seem to be baiting us a bit with: His practical answer on not disclosing a name is the right reply, it’s hearsay:
  10. Lol that’s a good one
  11. My numbers were annual per store sales at about $2.5 million I stand by that
  12. Can you please show some web links/cites pointing to this info
  13. 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??
  14. Who remembers these classic thighs <sigh>
  15. 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?
  16. Use the search function with “Borek” as the key and you’ll find many discussions
  17. You can load up on your healthy White Castle
  18. And this is why the topic always comes up...poster isn’t getting attention from provider....so goes to forum posting for attention
  19. 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
  20. It’s like a doll factory, yuck
  21. 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
  22. Well his post was from 11 years ago so not really current news....
  23. Thanks for checking
  24. Did you google the phone #? Basic vetting
  25. Was reported...apparently not acted upon
