    Don't be dissing subway. They are a great franchise.

    There are very poor performers in every company and business. And some franchise owners can be, the equivalent of absentee landlords.

    Marketing. Building an emotional connection. Made popular by Apple.

    Feel good that you know how you're being manipulated now?

    Sorry, you were also target marketed to, by harvesting information about you and your interests. Seems I recall you lamenting about the truck and comments about a Taco...

    So you were target marketed, using an emotional message, likely via cable... Have a set top box, don't you...

    Ps, your data was probably purchased from Acxiom. At least 3 statistical models were likely used (propensity, profitability and maybe a neural net). I'll also bet you have a banner ad, email, social media or mail piece also for a Ford within 2 weeks site to omni channel marketing, since statistically, at least 7 impressions are needed for you to act.

    70+ buildings vandalized, many of them burned to the ground! What is causing this many people to act like uncivilized animals?

    Hypothetical question for you guys, if you were a small shop owner in the middle of this, (and let’s assume you are white) would you defend your property or let these animals burn it to the ground?


    Part of me says, heck yeah I’d defend it.
    Then the smarter half of my brain says, that’s a lose-lose scenario, if the mob doesn’t kill you, you will be labeled a monster for defending your property.
    let the insurance clean up the mess haha.

    We had reports that people were gonna vandalize the two Targets within 5 miles from the station. Would have been a bad move. We take pride in protecting the property of others.

    Attic air might be 70 but the bottom of the roof deck is way less. Set a cold beer outside on a 70 degree day and you will see what happens when warm humid air meets a cold surface.

    I have a good friend that lives by the lakes in Minneapolis. Last night the nonsense was 3 blocks from his house. He sat on his front door step with a 357 loaded and he is a reasonable man with a family to defend.

    Well what did they expect.... they named their store Target and stuck a big ol bullseye on the front for the Molotov cocktails.

    In all seriousness though, why don’t they just put all the rioters on a bus and drop them off in Detroit. It’s chock full of condemned buildings that the city can’t afford to tear down. It’s basically a win-win; the rioters get to riot until their hearts content and it’ll save the taxpayers a fortune in demolition cost. Kind of like how I have to do a controlled burn in my long leaf pines every couple years to clear out all the crap and underbrush.

    Local media describing the riot areas as under served I pay taxes on every penny I make and the media throws a pity party on people burning business that provide jobs and services in areas that are under served and they have no pride and loot.

    Damn, that sucks, hope they have flood insurance.

    On a positive note; their refrigerator floats really well... at least they have that going for them.
