I hate to seem like I’m always pumping IDEX, but new pictures of the MEG center posted on stocktwits. It’ll most likely run to 1.70 Monday if anyone is day/swing trading it.

Apparently you can take a SKU# from there for different products and type it in a search engine and it brings up kids.
Didn't try it.

It seems like it a coincidence since so many people have been googling the items from Wayfair and the missing kids.

I mean I don't for 1 second believe it is not possible, because there are plenty of twisted people out there. But at this point, this theory is based off a lot of assumptions and not many facts. Using your own website as a platform for your child trafficking ring certainly doesn't seem like the likeliest of scenarios. Neither is using the child's actual name.

Ran (OK, walked) to the Cracker Barrel. Normally, at 545 on Saturday, this place is packed. Only 8 tables with customers in there today...

Walked with daughter to Waffle House this morning. Not crowded at all.

Some concerns that without another stimulus, travel and restaurant stocks might not be near bottoms

I think that having efficient carry out setups are critical for long term viability. Cracker Barrel gets a huge order whenever my relatives are in town. Zaxby's and Chik Fil A always have business. Chipotle has parking at the door and gets you in an out quickly.

The knock on effect is what concerns me. Sure Cracker Barrel is moving food but all those waitstaff are furloughed and don’t appear to be coming back any time soon. And it’s not as if the restaurant the worker worked at went under, the entire sector is crippled. So they aren’t going to find an easy replacement job. Unemployment isn’t designed to get your through a government mandated shutdown and that cash is going to dry up. That means less spending for a lot of people. Our economy is 80% consumer based and we’re throwing a massive section of our workforce into the void.

I think Chic-fil-A and Zaxbys will be fine. Zaxbys is decently price, maybe a bit expensive but not bad. Chic Fil A has a cult like following and at least at our local one always has a line wrapped around the building. Cracker Barrel is a confusing one, they are reasonable, and pretty good. However with everything going on. I wonder if they catch any backlash from the connotations of their name and either close or rebrand. For the record I love CB and eat there at least once every two weeks.

Let a few of those folks pass out and hit the floor and the mandatory masks rule will be thrown out.

We are season pass holders at Busch Gardens and went after it opened a couple weeks ago for the first time since February and made it about two hours with that stupid mask before we said the heck with it and left.

A few things on this..

Just curious, but where do you live? The wife and I tried to go to Cracker Barrel last week and the parking lot was so full we went elsewhere.

Cracker B and Waffle House both have older clientele. They may have an impact on those brands in particular. Myrtle Beach has become a retirement destination. Combine that with the tourism, and ours are always packed.

We are right outside of Memphis (Lakeland). This one has been busy up to a couple of weeks ago. The Waffle House has never been that non crowded on a Saturday morning. We went over to Hot Springs, AR this week and saw the same things there.

You can't really compare fast food take out service to Cracker Barrel which has been providing sit down restaurant service. Two completely different dining experiences.
