I too tend to keep my vehicles for a very long time.

I also keep them forever and this is a car website, why are people more worried about the financial investment of a car than enjoying driving what they want. 

Associating demographics with the snack foods they prefer can be majorly valuable to advertisers so they can focus their propaganda more efficiently.

It’s my understanding that a humble cheeseburger can really do wonders for the happiness of the chef. Especially, if the burger is made with American cheese. American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger, because it melts without splitting.

I guess all automation is now ‘AI’?

Ahh ok so that’s why Albertson’s wants to buy them.

Yep, pretty much. My buddy programs conveyor belts for huge assembly lines and doesn’t claim to be an AI programmer, this isn’t really anything different.

Keep in mind, that a central kitchen standardizes the prep for scale and consistency (all locations have “identical” foods/taste and in some cases appearance).. it doesn’t necessarily impart any practical cost savings.. because again, food now needs additional prep for transport (the actual transport as well as…

Not only is gold leaf cheap, but it adds NOTHING to the food. Gold leaf has no taste it just looks pretty without adding anything to the food.

Yeah, this is the next natural progression of the Ray Kroc system of simplifying tasks and replacing “line cooks” with “machine loaders”.

I believe I read somewhere that each location would have 3-6 employees, unlike the 15-25 of a regular fast food joint.

Because it’s better for the environment? 

See I thought it would taste like coke mixed with Korean Idol sweat.

They need to bring back their grilled chicken for one, because that’s what was available before and has also been axed from the menu in recent years, leaving fried as the only option. I always only got grilled chicken wraps and I got them all the time.

Stop trying to make Turner D. Century happen.

on one hand less physical options sucks on the other...disney movie club was a predatory trash fire in how they got people.stuck paying $20+ per movie for their intro special.

Oh god no, we used to go in there high late at night because the only places open later than 10 were that and Donut Queen but the food was actually good then. They would fry fresh, good quality chicken strips and have good burgers and fries that weren’t kept in steamy plastic.

How do fried mini tacos that have been sitting in a plastic container steaming for half an hour grab ya? Or a burger with plenty of gristle lumps? You can get that with fries that have also been sitting in plastic containers steaming for a while too, because who likes crispy fries?

I can only imagine...

The JOBS act allows for a million dollars of crowdfunding from non-accredited investors. This wasn’t true when fig started, but it was in the pipeline, and they made use of it after. It is, obviously, of limited use, as that kind of money doesn’t do much.
