    You are correct, I wouldn't know. I only went by what you stated in your post.

    General Economic Conditions

    So, you have no fascination with the ratings, yet you do, in fact, make it a point to use the ratings to "buck the system" (be contrary) and show that all is not peachy here in EO Land (to point out the negative). I can therefore come to the quite logical conclusion that while you are not...

    Maybe one day I'll understand this fascination with ratings.

    There's a whole culture out there who do Photoshopped sign alterations. There are contests, even. Couple of good ones... And for kicks...

    I think that's pretty much true, Code of Conduct having been posted or not. :D

    It's funny, but it's almost certainly not a picture of an actual sign. It's probably one of many digitally altered "real" signs. If an employee did manage to get that up on a real sign, it wouldn't have been up for very long. The last thing a national restaurant chain is likely to do is to take...

    General Economic Conditions

    Phil's a smart guy. He can take care of himself. He knows the kinds of responses, and from whom, he is likely to get with his posts. It's not hard to conclude that's the very reason he posts some of them, and in the manner in which he crafts his words. If that's not the case, I'm giving him far...

    Congratulations A Team

    A thread was started, then for whatever reason, was deleted without a trace? Not even a placeholder indicating the thread was deleted, and by whom? Where did the "Code of Conduct" go? Somebody delete that, too?

    How's your weather?

    Not in Western Kentucky, no. I mean, snow isn't rare here, but it doesn't hang around very long. Where I live we have an annual average snowfall of 8 inches. We also have normal high temperatures for Nov, Dec, Jan, and Feb of 58, 48, 44 and 50 degrees respectively. Normal lows for the same...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    No, Leo, it's not. Believe it or not, there are some mom and pop stores that are also ethnic stores. There are ethnic stores in other communities, all other communities, in fact, where Wal Mart has stores, and in those communities Wal Mart makes no effort to differentiate between "good ol'...

    Food For Thought Or How Do You Want Your Goat Grilled

    I tried to stay out of this one, I really did. But, I can't. Irony. In this case, with a large, highly concentrated Arabic community, pledging to protect the local merchants is, in fact, exactly the same thing as catering to a specific group in a specific store - Marketing 101 by the book...

    sprinter tranny troubles!!!

    Sounds like a sensor problem, or a computer problem, and restarting the engine clears the computer. It should throw a bunch of codes that a dealer can figure out in a hurry. Of, find someone with a code reader, like a Scan Gauge II. The cheap code readers won't give all the codes the dealer...

    Sprinter Tires

    On my '05 Sprinter the specs on the seat say 55 front, 80 rear, and that's how I ran the first set of tires. I was very pleased with the performance and longevity. When I got new tires a few months ago I went with 80 pounds all around. Slightly rougher ride up front, but not really noticeable...

    What are they thinking?!

    They always tell you that. Every customer we have always looks into the load, every one of them. <snort> If you're not showing late, and the customer wants it there as soon as possible, meaning faster than 47 MPH, then tell dispatch that you're more than willing to try and get it there ahead of...
