Sorry dude but you're way off-base here. Going from one restaurant to two is literally the hardest and most complicated thing you can do in a business where it's already insanely hard to succeed in even the best possible circumstances. An abundance of caution should be applauded in this case; anything more than that is reckless beyond belief.
Oh, didn't notice they only had one store. Yeah, slow expansion is better in that case.

I just had to tell the SO that Plex is like Netflix for your personal stuff, and she got it.

Dick's has 6 locations, 2 were built in the 50s 2 in the 60s, one in the 70's and they didnt expand at all beyond that until 2011 when they added a 5th store outside seattle.

even back in '99 when i was in high school they paid about 10 bucks an hour when the state minimum wage was 6 something an hour. they've always been committed to cheap food, better than standard wages and education assistance.

Nah, none of that. I tend to agree that it was an excuse on the part of the host company. It really annoys me that it's jeopardizing my job with the company I actually work for. I'm under review, and I won't know the decision until next week, so I can't even look for a new contract right now. So, dang it, I'm enjoying the time off. Got a bunch of smaller and some bigger stuff done around the house and such.

There's a burger shop on campus that I tried recently, puts 5 Guys to shame. Has a built-in bar, too, and a good meal price for students.

Still close at 10 though, the fuckwits.

She's amazing, and coincidentally doesn't work on my channels anymore (EMS radio channels, different depending on city and type of call), so I'm not directly making GBS threads where I eat. She's a dispatcher and I'm field crew.

Not to get too detailed, but it seems we're at exactly the same stage... experimentally...as each other.

Random, but thank you all for the support. Here, Facebook, and my bus thread. It's all been pivotal in giving me motivation.

Once I figure out a situation for my cat, I'll be settled. The ex still has my cat that I got at HS graduation in 2005, and I literally had a nightmare about it the other night. I can't have cats at my current place. I know the ex will take good care of her, but it's the final niggle. Everything else is a thousand times better than it was before (don't wish any ill will on the ex - she's just got some incompatible issues).

Welp, tomorrow is going to be a cluster gently caress courtesy of the wife's grandma. Since we were taking care of their ranch for a few years which was incidentally when we purchased a couple cars, that's where our DMV tags go despite trying to change addresses with DMV, but that's a different story. Anyway, the grandma crashed her car so she has our mini on loan and I paid DMV tags for my taurus. Long story short, she saw my name and DMV with a shiny new tag in the envelope and promptly didn't read what car it was for and applied it to the wrong license plate. Can't wait to see how much in fees I'm about to get raped for. Remember kids, no good deed goes unpunished.

Bring on self driving cars.

So. Dad got rushed to hospital this morning in a cardiac ambulance. Brother/niece/nephew were on their way to me for my son's birthday party and turned around. I had to carry on as if everything was normal and deal with a kids birthday party ducking out for occasional incoherent messages to see what was happening. Short story is he's had surgery and 2 clots removed and is spending the next week in a hospital bed. I'm going tomorrow to see him and make sure mum's okay too.

Stressful day. Modern medicine is magical.

What does a burger there cost compared to McDonald's?

This is a really terrible argument because McDonald's burgers are absolute trash so unless you've already decided that this other burger that you've never had is also absolute trash, the answer to your questions is completely irrelevant.
