Re: KFC & A&W Remodeling

A&W in Cortland, New York still has carhop design. Didn’t see anyone on skates. Inside you call or order on a phone.

Re: What is happening at Marianos?

One of my highlights of my 2015 trip to Milwaukee was stopping at a Marianos, I believe near Gurnee, and finding the fresh squeezed OJ. It was Heaven. At the time i didn't know there was a following I just happened to walk by an employee handing out samples. I bought three pint bottles, one didn't s...

Re: Kroger and creepy PA Announcements

Wegmans used to, maybe still does, have an announcement alerting employers it was time to take a minute to stretch.

Tops, starting sometime in the spring, plays “attention employees, security scan sections A, C and E”.
