Closing a restaurant here is bad food or bad service. That’s what the restaurant business is all about. I don’t understand how anyone can blow a restaurant in a community that so many people go out to eat all the time. Just give them what you should or get out of the business.

IMHO the most successful restaurant in this area is O'Shucks on Main Street. The place is always packed and probably has very low overhead since it is in a building that isn't fit for a second hand store. Does anyone know if they lease or own?

Sunny Pint definitely has better food than WOB.

You don't need to park anywhere unusual when driving the cart to Sunny Pint. Most people just drive beside the sidewalk for that very short stretch and then follow the cart tracks to the parking lot.

Just got back. Took a while due to the long lines. I'm feeling really good about the economy these days.

Long lines on a Sunday afternoon: People with jobs shop on the weekend. Always better to go during the week if possible. You can FEEL as good as you want, but show me stats that support your feelings.

Easier for you to show me what you consider to be bad.

Inflation is reasonable, stock market is reasonable, prices are reasonable, unemployment is reasonable.... seems pretty good to me.

Certainly one of my favorites. Lease or own I don't know. But I love the place. Good food, fairly priced, and great people taking care of you. 😋😋😋

Inflation is very unreasonable. If you call an economy where our country goes into debt a trillion extra every 30 days, where grandmas and grandpas need jobs after retirement in order to survive and where our children can’t afford a home a good economy, then maybe?

Under 5% - yep, reasonable

Normal 08-11-2024 06:32 PM

The 2% norm would be more reasonable.

If you add food into the equation not reasonable in my book

$1T every 100 days
Grandmas and grandpas used to not be able to retire. The ones I know today have been retired for some time now.
My two nieces just bought homes and my nephews will as soon as they decide where to settle down.

I'm sure some are struggling, others are not, nothing new about that. !y experience with the economy today is positive. I'm sorry yours is not.

21.86% over the past 5 years. It should have been 10 or 11. Anyone that thinks 22% inflation in 5 years is good is nutty as squirrels turds.

When added to the 20% accumulated over the last 3.5 years, NOPE...

My (and my wife's) grandparents all retired, As did our parents...

Your blanket statement is all wet...
