On the PLUS side, many students are finally starting to do a little math, and learning the ROI isn't what they thought. They can get a great job, making great money, in a field they enjoy, WITHOUT going hundreds of thousands into debt. Plenty of affordable options. THAT will shake up the education market, but (IMHO) in a good way.

They've got a location at Bluff and Southport too. Did that one close as well? I've never eaten there, but DoggyMama used to like them.
Roscoe's been teetering for a while, the Mooresville location closed a while back, believe it was a franchise. Poor service and food quality led by poor management was it's downfall.
How hard is it to pay attention to what the order is. Order a Taco salad with no sour cream and get enough sour cream to feed a small 3rd world country that's had a food shortage for the last 20 years.
Hiring capable staff throughout the restaurant is vital to it's success and profitability. A couple of bad eggs can turn off a sizable amount of business and create it's downfall.

It's not just Roscoe's and it's not necessarily bad management. It has more to do with the quality of the work force. The worker bee's just don't give a ratsass and they know nobody is going to do anything about it. I've been thru a Hardee's drive thru a couple of times since the Wuhan Quarantine began and they have this man-chick working the window that just reeks of Idon'tgivea****itis. The second time I went thru and told her I wanted 8 of the little squirt bags of ketchup. Her response was "everything you need is in the bag". When I got to work there was one packet of ketchup. I got to thinking about the interaction with him/her and decided that she/it was telling me that I got everything I was going to get, NEXT.
I won't be back until the dining rooms reopen.
So true. Mike Rowe, formerly of A&E's Dirty Jobs, has championed vocations and trades that don't traditionally require a college degree. Getting away from the "college for everybody!" is long overdue.
The Bernie supporters, on the other hand, as foot soldiers in the Free S*** Army, are arguing for FREE COLLEGE for all. But like so many of their ilk, no real idea of what it costs, or, more importantly, how to pay for it.

I remember setting down with my scheduling councilor in Freshmen sign in. all she talked about was me going to college. My SAT's and a separate test they gave me were pointing that way. This was 1964 folks. This has been prevalent for a long long time.
CKW is not to be trifled with or treated badly.
CKW (spouse) was treated terribly at the McD's on 38th and Laff. rd. The entire staff was full of "Dontgivea****itis" and were not shy to let them know.
This was a special take the terrorists for a ride and a happy meal. These nasty *****es ruined it for them. From the accounts I got the bag went back in the window at max achievable velocity as she drove off.
When she got home a series of phone calls and emails were made. I am sure those asshats were head on a swivel when they left for home. Man she was pissed off.
She would not allow me to go over there.
$15 an hour my ass.
And that was before college cost an arm and a leg, and there were buckets of "free" student loan money.
Pretty much. My Mother was dead set I go. My step dad (Mr super erect penis) refused to help or guide me so I went to work long before I graduated.
He sent my sisters to schools but he and I never got along. Go figure.
Seems like a good life in the trades and some mad mechanical skills have allowed you to get to experience some awesome things along the way (based on some of the stuff in the Hot Rod thread).
My son is clearly NOT destined for college. He has the good test scores, but lacks the interest. He will be graduating shortly and reporting to Fort Sill, OK. Third generation in the family to go Field Artillery in the Army. I would have liked him to go to college, but I can be proud of him as a soldier.
No matter what path you follow in this life, what you choose to persue…...be the best at it you can be. If you do that things will open up for you. That has been my lifes experiences. Work for it. Constantly regardless. Stay the course.
I have always had the mechanical aptitude. That's what carried me deep into the trades ands all the extras that it afforded me.
