If you look closer at the logo, you’ll realize it includes the number 31. This is the number of flavor they first offered when they opened in 1953 and it stands for 1 flavor each day of a moth so you can try something new…[Read more]

If they lose one more person that’s just going to create more work for the rest of the team and if management doesn’t do anything about it that’s just going to cause mor employees tom quit because they’ll feel overworked and like the company doesn’t really care about them.

I like how you said her previous boss was engaging and involved, that’s something that’s very important in every job in my opinion, I feel like it helps a lot and its easier to get through every shift when you know you’re not alone and you know there’s someone to keep you engaged and its always there to help.

Its certainly very hard to achieve those characteristics.

Kroc was undoubtedly very strategic and persisting, he knew the potential the business had and he just had to have it. No matter what he had to do and how unethical it may’ve seemed. I can’t help but wonder how the brothers would feel if they saw what has become of their company today!

I also interact with for-profit businesses the most. I can’t think of any business that I’ve interacted with recently that is non-profit.

We just go about our day without thinking about the effect we have every time we do something so small like simply swiping a Metro Card!
