A car meet at a Burger King lasting for eleven years is my point of reference for
eight times the volume of business on a normal night. If a manager could do fifteen
times the daily business in a seven day week, should he send away the people who gave him
eight days of that business? -Bob

Have I got it right that 7 + 8 =15?

Dan, I was speaking of one particular Sonics that once held meets.
When a restaurant or any other business can't figure out how to bring in business, they will die. I have examples of successful ones where the car business keeps them thriving.

The problem is that you and the rest of the rice parade don't bring that business. You bring maybe 5 or 6 people who eat. The rest just take up parking space and scare away normal customers. Then you have the other part of your rice crew that do drugs and create a liability for the restaurant. SO you are in fact making it worse for them. I'm glad they kicked you guys out. Sonic is good fast food, and having to fight ricers to actually get food and get out would be a pain in my ass.

AND NO, YOU DON'T KEEP SONIC OPEN WITH THE MEET.

I don't think Sonic had anything to do with that meet. The two times I was there as we were eating all you heard from teh employees and manager was how annoying it was to have all those people there.
