Hazzah! to the free market, good product, and the free enterprise system that allows regular folk to come to the marketplace with superior products and make a profit.

Even they are now venturing into the ritzy specialty coffee drinks. The local McD's mgr sez they wont be doing specialty drinks. In Iraq at just about every FOB you could find "Green Beans Coffee". The counter guys were Hindus from Nepal. They were there doing the jobs which Iraqis and American contractors could not or would not do, for the record. Do yall got SONIC drive-ins near you, HSK?
