Why do Wymyn like to put pockets over their tits?
I can't fault you. My bride says we need to eat healthier.
Doggone it. I've got apps on my phone for discounts at McDonalds, DQ, Sonic, Taco Bell. It's so much easier than cooking and cleaning. So tempting.
no problem just so long as no golden parachutes were harmed ...
There you have it.
How much money is washing around these companies that they can pay tens of millions of dollars to executives to fail???
It pains me to wonder whatever happened to the eight dollar charge for missing 'glasses, sand and dust' from 1992, that I had to pay before I could retire from the Army. (yes, I paid it. With military discount they were $6.40)
I couldn't retire from the Army until I cleared CCF. I think I was charged another $2.50 for a canteen. It was about thirteen dollars before they would stamp my paperwork. Nigh thirty years of service and the Army wants less than twenty bucks.
How the hell are people slinging around millions of dollars in fraud and not being held accountable??
I like the onions, plus It’s easier to miss the seat than with a full size Whopper.
I just saw an article called “How the Cracker Barrel CEO Saved Her Job” - that was written in June. Guess it didn’t age very well...
Now she’s screwed up Cracker Barrel and Taco Bell - wonder who will pay her a nice big salary to screw their company up next?
CB needs to get back to real cooking instead of reheating food. Ditto for most of these chain sit-down restaurants.
“I never liked the old CB.”
I ate at one once. I do not like cookie-cutter, formulaic restaurants like CB, Red Lobster, Dennies, etc. I always seek out local places, not chains. I like giving the hard-working local proprietors the business.
My kids treated me to a birthday dinner a great Nepali Restaurant called “Kathmandu” the other night. It was SO good. Tonight I took my son to our local Mexican joint “Fiesta Vallarta.” It’s been in town for decades. Great basic Mexican fare, but very well executed. They’ve got a delightful courtyard patio in the back. Great place to sit for a summer evening dinner.
We used to love Burger King. Haven’t eaten there in 20 years. The burgers are good but the fries coated in plastic turned us off.
Not that McDonald’s is any better.
I’d love some good onion rings.
Now I’ve derailed the whole conversation from the Cracker Barrel executive being fired. Or resigned to move on and destroy another company.
Peter Principle? No. Like someone said, “Fail Up”. Scrooge McDuck only swam in his vault. These people want to swim in everyone’s vault. And take it.
I love this outcome,
but I’ve never understood the idea of a cracker barrel or barrel of crackers ?
What-A-Burger !
where available
Good advice
Remaining for a while in an “advisory role” means “tell us who helped you mess up that bad?” and “what other bad decisions did you make, and where are the dead bodies?” Then, “get the H out of here.”
Those aren’t the thick-framed “boss” glasses she wore before. Must be going for a low-key, “Bailey Quarters” look…
If only I was paid millions of dollars for bad decisions.
“Steps down” or was kicked to the curb?
I guess this college-educated woman thinks that putting spanking paddles on the walls sends a message to the (few) kids who still come there that they must BEHAVE.
“What is that crap?”
A bunch of Retro stuff they had China manufacture for them.
I feel great sorrow for you.
That’s funny and sad...
