Why Arby's

Can sombody tell me how Arby's has existed all of these years? Their main product is minced, unkown beef cuts impregnated with MSG and salt, formed into a "roast" shape, sliced into paper thin shards, served lukewarm on a burnt, soggy bun. :x

Does anybody sell a REAL roast beef sandwich?

Re: Fred Meyer/QFC offering gas rewards...at SHELL?!?

Kroger is apparently expanding the deal with Shell into other markets...Fry's is now a part of the program in AZ, yet is has a growing number of fuel centers.

Re: Frys Marketplace Shea/Tatum Closing

Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and Albertsons have stores at the same intersection...it is an upscale area.

Re: Rite Aid's Future

For the last two years, Rite Aid has been cited as a company not likely to survive the year. Thus far they have survived, but the decision to stop new store construction does not bode well.
