All in a cluster is Burger King, McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway, KFC, Taco Bell, D-Angelos, Papa Ginos, Dunkin Donuts, n many other finer seafood n steak dining spots. The reason they exist in such proximity is to test the other competition for corporate info. Friendly's did close n move across town tho. <br />These Snaggle Toothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197042129309670471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5468858293961151587.post-67686561371258118142011-09-10T18:58:19.272-04:002011-09-10T18:58:19.272-04:00Chintan: It's tough for me to do that right of...Chintan: It's tough for me to do that right off the bat.

Now even though I play lottery (mostly numbers) on a daily basis, I've dealt with the lottery on the other side of the counter since from 1986-99, and I can tell you that retailers make absolutely squat per ticket sold (about 3 to 5 cents for every ticket sold), so it's considered a loss leader.<br /><br />G.

They said they finally got their food after 30 minutes. It's not good enough for that kind of wait, in my opinion.
