KKD + WMT = NO PROFITS FOR KKD // A beautiful thing
I have to say, since they opened (24hr) Dominion at Major Mac & Bayview, I have shopped there more than Loblaw (though typically everything I buy is on sale). I have always used No Frills exclusively (esp after we got over the hurdle that Veg/Fruit albeit mostly are better at Loblaw, but not always and not worth the premium at times).
I know Wal-Mart sold Krispy Kreme Glazed for quite a while. I heard that kind of sales (my canabal statement) hurt them. I don't eat that junk much anymore - last time was celebrating my son's ability at various skating skills (read: staying up; getting up on his own; and/or moving from A to B). We walk in there and they hand us all a donut. Well that solved the buying a bunch of donuts (except my wife wanted a premium one).
Jaded I guess. Why would I ever buy it in WMT when I can get it fresh up the street?
Brutal working in Hillcrest with them making fresh donuts.
Haven't been to any Harvey's in years. Reason: Stress.
(A) I know they show you cooking your burgers;
(B) I know they take UNCOOKED patties from the bag and put it on the grill;
(C) I know they take BUNS using the same "contaminated hand" and get them ready.
Not all do that but - they do. And yes KASTELCO, most Fast Food stores probably do the same thing - except WHAT I DON'T SEE MAKES ME FEEL A WHOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE LOT BETTER.
Cooking MY steak to medium well is one thing - I can control that environment. But this is totally different. So to ensure I do not get worked up, I have started to walk away and stay away from problem areas.
I think Harveys still is #1, followed by BK; Wendy's and MCD. Use to like A&W but feel they are a poor mans version of MCD (except with the best onion rings). Licks is in a class all by themselves - I like their burgers but not as good (flavor wise) as Harveys.
Ever go much to the Steer Inn? They make a pretty good burger along with the Steak Burgers etc.
BTW - I still have a Harvey's winter hat from at least 20 years ago somewhere.
