My parents worked for a local PNW (Pacific Northwest) burger chain, Burgerville, for 25 years. They were both fired about ten years ago within 24 hours of each other during a big muckity-much shakeup.
For the last five years or so, my dad has owned a Pizza Schmizza franchise, also a local chain.
Today, my mom sent me this e-mail:
"Yesterday Figaro's Pizza bought out Pizza Schmizza and
today Starbucks bought Burgerville."
Damn.
It's a changing world, yo.

Starbucks.
April fools?
I hope it was April Fools because I liked Burgerville, and I hope they don't change the walla walla onion rings. And the real ice cream shakes. Not that I actually live anywhere close to a Burgerville anymore.
Probably is an April fool's.
Our one at work today wasn't fucking funny either.
You got me with that one... until I remembered what day it is and did a google news search. *whew*
