That is where you make the money and the maintenance is EZ..
IMO.. you are missing the boat.. especially where you live after that October storm..

That is right, I do not have any problem using self check out. 
So are you going to stop getting coffee at 7-11?

In case you didn't notice.. 7-11 didn't let anyone go when they changed to self serve coffee..
Go into any 7-11 in the morning and you have (10) people buying coffee at any time..
They would have to hire (2) more employees to just take care of just coffee and that would lead to a price increase..
Nice try.. but you lose.. again..

Again, I did not say it was bad business, I said I would prefer not to use them. I did not say anyone else should not or that the company should change how they do business.

In case you did not notice your buying coffee at 7-11 takes a job away from a coffee shop. You are such a putz.

I was just down his way and had no problem finding a Dunkins, but I guess it was the only coffee shop on all of Long Island.

I'm hoping the snow holds off for a couple more weeks so I can get some more underground done. Waiting for Fairpoint to set a pole, been a month and one more generator to pipe.
