Repeating the same incorrect conclusion over and over is the definition of insanity. :)

Every single conclusion that you have jumped to is incorrect.

I did not mention a franchise fee because they do not have one. They have a system of other types of fees. Would they have to reduce advertising if fees were lowered? Not necessarily. Keeping things in perspective, my original posts was addressing the need for a business (papa Johns) to CLOSE...

Excellent point! We have been able to average rates that are above our goal and put aside more money than planned. If that situation were to change we could certainly consider taking some of that money and putting it back into the business.

This was actually the original stated plan. While campaigning for Mitt Romney Pappa John said that if Obamacare stayed in effect he would need to raise his prices by 20 cents per order. He was among other Republican business owners who made public statements against Obamacare to boost support...

I am glad you asked that because many people are unaware of the term. It is a hybrid term from the urban sports dictionary currently in it's first printing by Terri Bradshaw. It is derived from the word invigorate which means " to give strength or energy to" When one has been invigorated in...

Xig, You have been tired lately. First it was the Angry White Men thing and now Corporate profits. Get your bike out and take a good ride to get revigorated. Do you keep it with you? Some corporations make huge profits but many don't. That is why investing in stock is a challenge. My...

The grudge theory was my assumption. Why would taking up the liberal agenda bother people? Just seems to bother you. :( There seems to be a lot that you "haven't really seen" and why does it matter to you if I am liberal or conservative? Your second sentence makes no sense so no...

You managed to be wrong in every one of your assumptions. I have disagreed with you in a couple of other posts and you seem to harbor a grudge. That's just my assumption. I have in fact taken both conservative and liberal sides of many issues here on EO and will continue to do so because I...

Capitalism at it's best because Sam started with one store in Bentonville much like the small town stores that Cheri describes. He was a workaholic and an innovator. He also took good care of his employees with benefits that included stock. Many of his original employees who stuck with walmart...

Cheri, You may find this list interesting. These are companies that are "known" to have Dead Peasant insurance policies. Most are keep secret. If you ever consider boycotting such companies. You would have very few left to do business with. Which employers bought policies on the lives of...

That is a breath of fresh air and good to hear. Walmart is a great example of why capitalism is the greatest wealth building system in the world. Perhaps it is the high expectations that American workers have that creates some of the complaints?

You simply worked at the wrong place. That doesn't apply to all retail. 2 of my best investments over the past 5 years was Simon Properties (Malls) and DSW (shoes). DSW reached an all time stock price high 2 weeks ago and has an excellent health care plan in place so Obamacare will not effect...

It is absolutely none of my business what he does with his money. Never said it was.:confused: It will probably be worth it to him as long as his profit exceeds the additional costs. Are you referring to me as a liberal pushing a view?? You seem to be making a personal judgement about me...

The point seems to have gone completely over your head as class warfare has nothing to do with my comments.

My response was in reference to Pappa. I have reviewed several franchise agreements and those that I have looked at encourage investing in a "master" type franchise were you can open several units in a geographic territory. The average profits per each individual unit is usually very tight...

I am well awake thank you. Mrs. Humble has been involved in retail management for 25 years and has seen the gradual move of companies looking to increase profits by cutting labor and benefit costs since the 90s. She has had to replace many full timers with part timers and watched as health...

Those idiots (Akin, Murdock, etc.) were doing well until the abortion statements hit the press. Funny thing is that they were dead on in line with the Republican Party platform of no exceptions. Others kept their mouths shut and fared much better.

Sure Dave, The CEO John Schnatter who lives in one of the biggest mansions in America (in KY) will probably shut down the business that has made him wealthy. After all, setting his employees and their families up on a decent health care plan may force him to sell one of his vacation homes. The...

Actually this thread will probably be cancelled soon. I found this review: Rotten Potato reviews: "A Tip of the Hat . . ." ** 2 stars out of 5 A new entry into this Falls threads showed great promise. It centered on a good natured jovial type character who espouses his confidence in the...
