    A true capitalist would jack up the price instead so that you make a big profit off of bad parents appeasing their screaming hellions.

      It’s a literal family business, not like franchise like McDonald’s or Subways where the franchiser has to squeeze pennies constantly to make a dime.

      It’s the main reason it’s one of the “better” fast food places left when the rest have mostly gone to shit. Because the people who control product quality and prices don’t need every last penny. For their company, it’s still a generational investment. 40 years from now, they want people to still want to eat there.

      If that means a few less million in the bank today, then this isn’t even about a wealthy family doing a benevolent thing. It’s a wealthy family investing for theirnown future in a fiscally responsible fashion, which is something we can count on.

      People don’t understand how much the franchise method has fucked up America.
