Re: And the hits just keep on coming for Atlanta
I suppose, yeah. That seems like something that's more important for companies that need the attention, and not something that's already well known like Chick-fil-A. Whatever, though. They're going to do what they're going to do.

I don't know why any restaurant chain would open a spot in a sporting arena. Small vendors and such stand a lot more to gain from this sort of thing. It's not like finding a Mcdonalds in the mall, where the mall is open every day. That sort of thing actually makes sense.

For example, my oldest son just got the chance to work in the Guns N' Roses tour, setting up the stage on one leg of the tour. It took a large crew 4 full days to put it up, and 1 to take it down. So when you see that "sporadic" concert, sporting event, or convention, it takes a lot of people to put it in place and take it down. These people have to eat too.
Plus, what they sacrifice in business on Sundays, they get many times over in business from the people who appreciate the gesture of closing on Sundays, and employee morale. |

I say yet again, I support the decision to close on Sundays. But when I set aside the "nice gesture" angle of all of this for a second, it makes little to no sense to even have one of their restaurants in that stadium for a few occasions out of the year. And the statement of "these people have to eat too" is really not relevant to the subject. That's what all of the concession stands are for. There will always be food at these places. Does Chick-fil-A close all of their restaurants on Sunday? If not, why? If yes, then the gesture of closing on Sundays that will presumably endear themselves to more customers is already accomplished. It doesn't do anything for this particular restaurant, at this particular location, in my humble opinion. I'm a Christian, and I support their values, but there is still a common sense aspect to this that has nothing to do with values. They don't need to have one inside the stadium. Put a location nearby where people can eat before and after the game, and still be able to operate on a normal schedule for 6 days a week, or whatever they want to do. All of a sudden people think they have to fit the entire universe into these stadiums. Whatever happened to concession stands to hold you over, and going to restaurants AFTER the event you are attending? Seems like business was just fine that way, before. |
