Not seeing them with the usual MSC. Maybe they are still shopped there, but someone has taken them already.@Susan L. wrote:
Are Krispy Kreme donuts shopped?
Hmmm, glad I never tried it. I only got the beef burgers which were darn good. Of course I only shopped them twice because they were usually reimbursement-only, and I'd pass them up unless and until they grudgingly put in a $5 fee. It's the principle.@SoCalMama wrote:
Me either. Their black bean burger was pretty lousy.@KokoBWare wrote:
Getting back to topic, I haven't seen Smashburger shopped in a while.

Forgot to mention Panera Bread but they stoped being shopped before Covid, I believe.
I've pointed out in the stimulus thread that timing is crucial for small biz to survive. Only about ~5-6% of PPP applicants got aid with lots of favoritism shown to connected/wealthier/larger clients in the processing. Much like 2008-9, bank lending standards also tightened into the recession, so mom and pop and mid-sized restaurants w/o deep financing may have gone under already.@ wrote:
But restaurants got the biggest share of direct help: $28.6 billion in grants for restaurants whose revenue fell in 2020 as a result of the pandemic.
The bill calls for grants equal to the amount of restaurants’ revenue losses, up to a maximum of $10 million per company and $5 million per location. Eligible companies cannot own more than 20 locations, and they can’t be publicly traded. The bill sets aside $5 billion for the smallest restaurants, those whose annual revenue is $500,000 or less.
. . .While the $28.6 billion in the bill was only about a tenth of the amount of money the industry has lost during the pandemic, the restaurant group sees it as a win.

Yes. I just did one yesterday. Unfortunately, it's not for a dozen but for 1 doughnut and drink.

Are they still with the MSC that has the lab shops?
Not the one that I saw the other day. I know which MSC has lab shops. They also did them in the past. This is a prophet company.@dafizisblue wrote:

I think that you are right. Blame it on exhaustion. Sorry. I'll edit.@kenasch wrote:

I actually miss Blaze Pizza, which stopped being shopped quite a while before the pandemic. One of the shop requirements was to take a picture of the bottom of the pizza crust. Some shoppers went to hilarious extremes attempting to do this.
