Hungry, felt a little lazy about cooking - even though i've all the good stuff in the fridge....
Wingstop!
Hop in the ride, order my 10 wings, and post up in the back so I can watch some baseball on mute. Place is empty on a tuesday, so I can be alone with my thoughts as I contemplate the next move in my life.
2 Mitt Romney types roll past me and start yammering under the tube, and i'm like "goddamned mf'ers always think they own the place"
Turns out the one dude actually owned the place. The other dude was an owner/operator from Chick-Fil-A.
It was quite a little amazing conversation.
WingStop owner - worked for a Baptist non-profit in the finance department, and then transitioned over into some small operation that found money for small businesses. (Kanye voice - one of them rich white people type businesses that most people can't even fathom - you do what? to make what? huh?). He saw how much money this chicken place was making, loved the product, and decided to move from employee to employer.
*golf claps*
Chick-Fil-A dude went to college, but worked his way up through the Chick-Fil-A to be an owner.
Wingstop dude mentioned Robert Kiyosaki's book Rich Dad Poor Dad, and how he was training his son to think on those kinds of lines. Same dude said he took the used peanut oil and powered his truck with it! (environmentally conscious Texan? Cheap business man?)
They were swapping stories on how hard it was to find clean cut teenagers to man the fryers and cashiers, how much the franchise fees were, typical day #'s, and good day #'s, and one in a million type scores. (when the pres of chick-fil-a went in on gay marriage, that day they saw their sales triple - and the customers were being as "honest" as they wanted to be -much to the chagrin of this guy's gay manager)
I really wanted to jump in on the biz topics, but they started in on the politics of the day. (people kill me with their "new" speak)
Politics and business aside, apparently Chick-Fil-A dude was going through a divorce, or just went through one. Wingstop dude apparently just went through one as well.
Chick Fil A - "Just when things really started to get going for me business wise, this happens"
Wingstop dude, inquiring bout Chick-Fil-A's wife, "what kind of woman was she? My ex-wife said these exact words, "I do not feed at the trough of the common man.....I should be with a doctor or a lawyer..."
Something to that effect.
Now keep in mind these were 2 good ol boy McCain/Palin voters, SUV driving, Suburb Living, Both fairly religious - My inference was that their wives were also from this kind of middle/upper middle class, white, Baptist, conservative, educated.
These broads were living it up. They weren't Rich Housewives of the Orange County, but most women not in that position would kill for it...
It was all very interesting to me to hear how the other half lives, and basically confirm what those of us who appreciate the nature of women already know.
