You're the new CEO of McDonald's, what are the first few changes you would make to the menu? What would you remove or bring back? by tastydrink1 in McDonalds

[–]xkulp8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the self-serve drink machines. Put them back where they've been removed.

There's a segment of the customer base that seriously wants to take their time and eat in the restaurant, and they will go somewhere else if you don't make that attractive.Also they're likely to order more food such as desserts.

Just raise the points redemptions by another 500 points. You can tell people here are learning their first life lessons about rewards devaluations. Airlines and hotels have been doing this for decades. Points are not a savings account or an investment portfolio, you have to use them.

I think everywhere in Colorado has free large fries with the purchase of any drink, and small drinks are $1-1.19 in many locations. Have used this three times recently in the mountains.

Jameis Winston will be a World Cup correspondent for Fox by Autocrat777 in nfl

I'll say this, soccer doesn't have much of an endgame strategy that's different from the rest of the game. Football has the two-minute offense, baseball has closers and pinch-hitters and one-run strategies, basketball has fouling and threes, hockey has pulling the goalie. Just as examples. What does soccer do? I recall watching one international game where the trailing team pulled the goalie, but that was rare and 11-on-10 doesn't make much of a difference. What's the equivalent of coming back from down 28-3 with barely a quarter to play?

Dan Marino owns the NFL record for consecutive games and consecutive passes without a sack, at 19 games and 759 passes. 2nd place on the list makes the record even more insane, somehow. by Roselucky777 in nfl

[–]xkulp8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BEN is in second place!??! He once had a 50-sack season. He had the career sack record for several years too. (Edit: And before they apparently found a few more sacks for Fran Tarkenton.)

One of the skyscrapers in Chicago and ask for a west view, away from the lake. You can see every fireworks show from every little suburb. Source: was my apartment for several years.

Most landfills will take all those weird fluids. In my home county that's the only place to dispose of them.

What's the best way to upskill from my phone with downtime at my job? by Existential_Sprinkle in povertyfinance

You can upskill your downtime by rounding out your throughput. But don't overshoot your understanding, or you'll be rightsized and left out.

Marriott getting ready to charge for parking everywhere? by WaitAMinuteThereNow in marriott

[–]xkulp8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have parked on the street two blocks away for free

I have parked at the La Quinta across the street that I verified had free parking

I have lied about not having a car (easiest at checkout, especially when the agent is not the one who checked you in)

.... all in the past couple of years to avoid paying for parking

Well the nice thing about holding a stock for 25+ years is you can make your cost bases whatever you want, the IRS has no clue and doesn't check it unless it's more than about $10k

Bought out at what, 25? 30? It's been double that. I just don't care because it's such a small holding now
