    I've heard of Dunkin' Donuts. Is this "Dunken" variant some redneck moron imitation?

    how about a regular bike? 10 miles per donut.

    From what I see, a doughnut averages 300 calories and from what I see here you burn 30 calories per mile - so 10 miles per donut.

    Stats:

    1. Dunkin Donuts: 6000 stores - 4,400 in us https://dunkindonuts.com/aboutus/company/
      Annual sales (2004) $3.6 billion
    2. Tim Hortons: 2,922 stores - 297 in US http://www.timhortons.com/en/about/faq.html
      Annual sales (2005) $1,789,562,423
    3. Krispy Kreme: 306 stores wordwide (http://www.krispykreme.com/investorrelations.html >

    Tim Hortons is continuing its expansion into the US. It has the product, the momemtum, and its a fresh face. Krispy Kreme is mortally wounded, not just because of the SEC investigations and their too-high fat content, but also because their franchisees aren't happy with head office.

    Its going to be the same thing as up here - A Tim Hortons opens up, and the local Dunkin Donuts sees their net sales dive, quality goes down, sales go down more ... head office gets on their case for not "making their numbers" ...

    Of course, 20 years from now it'll probably be a new donut chain that will be the aggressive new face going after Tim Hortons.

    No. Starbucks serves disgusting overpriced nasty liquids. I'd rather go elsewhere for coffee. And now you can, even if you live on the west coast (I drive a half hour in the morning for the best joe around).

    If you knew how to spell Nevada it might not be so hard to find work. [as well as existent, coming, and learn to use you're instead of your and use 'it's' correctly].

    I may be in the technology field. I may push bits instead of a pencil, but communication skills are essential.

    Now to address anyone with a job right now and what they should do. In my assessment my opinion is 'milk the cow until it dies' unless a guaranteed opportunity comes directly to you for more money in a less expensive location with a company with a very attractive balance sheet. California is difficult, but so is taking a regression in salary. I do believe California will have a severe problem with dealing with the twenty to thirty billion dollar state deficit without raising already alarmingly high state income and sales tax.

    I would also like to point out that the dot com bust is an all too convenient scapegoat for the current situation in America (rising unemployment, deflation in wages in certain markets, deficits in state and federal government due to massive capital gain revenue being lost coupled with increased spending in reaction to sudden new 'needs' in national security, etc). Surprisingly, the economy is still growing, just more slowly when compared to they was it was. Politics and the stock market somehow get coalesced in with 'the economy.' Oversimplification is a dangerous tool the masses use upon themselves. Your gloom and doom is a reflection of your confidence, and whatever the source of self deprecation, it tends to have a pronounced effect on nations as a whole, but it's not enough to snuff out entrepreneurial, scientific or philanthropic spirit (thank goodness).

    Failure can be a self fulfilling prophecy. The founder of Dunkin' Donuts made his first fortune in the great depression.

    Fed Report Says US Economy Growing Slowly The US economy is growing slowly but business conditions are patchy and the jobs market is soft, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) said in a report Wednesday.
    The US economy is growing slowly but business conditions are patchy and the jobs market is soft, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) said in a report Wednesday. "Economic activity grew slowly, on balance, in late October and early November," said the report known as the "Beige Book" for the color of its cover. It said that buying activity continued into mid-November with six of the Fed's regional bank districts reporting improvement in general merchandise sales despite the fact that auto sales were down across the country. "Service industry activity was generally sluggish," the report said. Manufacturing remained soft in most districts and business investment was limited. "Most Reserve banks reported nearly steady prices at both the consumer and producer levels, with the exception of shipping charges, which have risen in the wake of the West Coast port disruptions." The report will be used by Fed policy-makers when they meet on Dec. 10 to consider whether to cut interest rates again to spur the US economy. With a string of stronger-than-expected economic reports, many economists believe the US Fed will leave its target for overnight bank lending unchanged at a 41-year low of 1.25 percent. The Fed cut the federal funds rate by a half percentage point at its last meeting on Nov. 6.

    Nonsense. Dunkin Donuts has a special offer for their 50th anniversary -- a donut for 5 cents. Would your ethical subroutines allow you to buy one, knowing full well that 5 cents won't cover costs and labor? I suspect they would.

    If a company wants to lose money on a promotion, that's their decision to make. Caveat venditor!
