Dont 'pick' on the booger when all he is doing is trying to save a good business from leaving a town he calls home. And hes not he only one who likes A&W, there are others......  |
Booger is a great guy with a great opinion...BUT, one person cannot save a business from going under, only the business itself can do that. The "no one will support business unless they serve rice and beans" is a pretty generalized, somewhat ignorant remark based on no fact and all personal opinion. El Charro serves "rice and beans" and last time I heard they had filed for Chapt 11 bankruptcy. Applebees and Montana Mikes serve neither rice or beans (well white rice) and they do well. Peppercorns is packed on some nights and they are not a "rice and bean" establishment.
The key is consistency and expectations. I have went to A & W on several occassions and sometimes it's good and sometimes it is bad. Sometimes the service is great, sometimes it sucks....I believe that rings true for most places in this town. You can choose a time when their lot is full and sonic isn't but what counts is performance over a period of time. I'd be willing to bet that sonic takes in several times what A&W does.... I like the rootbeer at A&W so I go back about once a month or so.
I support businesses that are good and give a decent product with decent service. What more can you ask for. As far as the "rice and bean" establishment when the population is close to 70% hispanic wouldn't you think that the places to eat would mirror the population?
I see that there are a couple of people that this is their first post. I'm glad that you finally found something you are passionate enough about to speak up and be part of our board. Welcome.
Oh..and by the way... no one "bagged" on Booger, some just disagreed with his opinion as some will disagree with mine. It snot personal with booger...lol
