I was listening to Rush today on my way into work. Actually, it was whoever was sitting in for him. Give you an idea of my political slant? Anyway, he mentioned what he called the Fast Food Economic Indicator, and I found it rather humorous, despite being true. Here it is:

The worse the service gets at fast food restaurants, the better the economy is doing.

Why? Well, when McDonalds or Burger King can't find anyone else to hire, they settle for whatever they can get. In bad times, they can be picky.

Based on this, I think Spring Lake must be doing good. The service I get at McDonalds and Arby's here is less than spectacular!
