Well, yeah, the quantified self is all about this, but unlike game grinding, where the grind is against boredom and is actually aided by a lack of discipline with your time, fitness grinding requires extra effort with disciplined usage of time.

I lol at the locals who go all quantified self like it'll get them fit, but continue to track their largely sedentary lifestyle.

many delis in real cities aren't artisnal, they're run by grisled old eastern european men who you suspect may have committed actual war crimes in a previous life. they have the best prices and make a good sausage though, so who are you to judge

subway has the cheapest franchising rights which is why they're everywhere

for ~$50k you can buy a subway franchise, versus mcdonalds which needs a million in liquid assets and a detailed plan on the optimal location to place one, along with loans to buy all of their equipment and stuff

the flip side is that a mcdonalds almost never goes out of business

I've seen a couple of mcd's close around here. one has since been through at least 4 other concepts. I think the current one is korean bbq

i only saw something like that once, and what happened was that it moved about two blocks away to a better location

the building then became a donut shop for a while and then closed

subway doesn't give out exclusive territories. there are no protections whatsoever for franchisees

you open up a subway today, and in six months they might sell a franchise to a dude at the other end of the block. both your sales will tank, and both of you will go under

subway corporate gives no shits because they'll sell a third franchise on the same block any day now anyway

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

syscall girl posted:

subway franchises tend to step on each other's toes like starbucks

they've lost a lot of corner boys in the turf wars

at least with Starbucks there's some overall strategy since everything is corporate owned

only in-location stores (the ones in your grocery store, Target, hotels, airports, and so on) are "franchises" and even then Starbucks exerts significant control, more like the "store within a store" concept

also historically when they'd put in a Starbucks across from a Starbucks both of their sales would be higher.

the superblock I work on in the Bay Area—the square made up of only the major thoroughfares, about 1mi on a side—has one on three of its four corners, plus one in the Target on one edge and one in the Safeway on one of the corners with a Starbucks. the one corner without a Starbucks used to have one.

not mentioned: his parents are rich as gently caress, he didn't necessarily get that money from streaming, that's just a thing he does (though I'm sure streaming to that many kids gets more than a living wage, not sure it'd make enough to buy that thing)

strange how so many popular streamers have already-wealthy parents (pewdiepie, others?), probably it's that they have time to dedicate to refining streaming
