We are waiting for you to qoute where RapidAplaca said"he wants to end Crichton's career, and send 10-20 people to the unemployment line, because 1 man said a word that he don't like. "

Post #225 is still owning your every post. Please answer when you can, thanks! LMAO
:popcorn2:

This back and forth is just getting way to stupid for me. It doesn't do any justice at all to your very own OP. I am going to be the bigger man and call it quits because this tangent is really too idiotic to continue. Go ahead and call me every name you want and accept my pathetic surrender because I do. This is like debating which bones dogs like best - not worth the debate.

Good move since your posts failed. In the future simply don't postg lies and people wont call you out on it and you can avoid your issues.:2wave:

This may surprise you, but I'm actually not a Dairy Queen executive. Are you saying employers shouldn't have the power to fire employees who yell racial slurs at customers?

No.

And I agree with prior statements about Dairy Queen being legally within its rights to close the Zion location.

However, I disagree with the hysteria surrounding this story. People get into arguments with customers everyday, there's 100's of videos on YouTube documenting that. I doubt that the businesses in those videos were all closed because an argument occurred. What makes this story different, is that Crichton said a particular word while arguing with a customer.

The only hysteria I've seen has been from you and a few others who share your opinion. I couldn't care less what happens to this ****er. Dairy Queen doesn't like to be associated with racists so they revoked his license. End of story. No emotions or hysteria here other than racist tears.

What "hysteria"?
I meant to say hypocrisy.

Hypocrisy? Can you show where I've said companies shouldn't be able to fire employees for using racial slurs against their customers? Please provide a direct link to me saying that.

I'm sure he would have gotten away with calling her a PITA or an idiot or maybe even a bitch. But repeatedly going with the N-word...that's going to bring backlash and too much negative publicity to DQ. "Time to cut our losses," said the corporate honchos at headquarters.

This isn't rocket science, Truth.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Are you just being polemic here? WTF?

Yeah, the guy can still sell ice cream. But he certainly cannot do it as a Dairy Queen. He cannot use their sighn, he cannot sell their ice cream. he cannot use their trademark on items, like Blizzard, and he probably cannot even use the building as is, the style and layout of which is most likely also under special licensing agreement like a McDonalds.

Jesus ****ing Christ!!

LOL.

Where did I ever imply he could remain a DQ if the corporation voided his franchise agreement for breach of standards?

You claimed DQ could take his business. Your the one looking foolish calamity.

So WTF back at you.

Learn something about a topic before proving you don't know about it. Kind of a credibility thing.

I didn't say they could take "his business." I said something completely different.

Franchisees do not "own" anything. They, more or less, just lease a license which gives them in return a business model, brand name and right to sell someone else's product. There are strict rules in place that must be followed. It's a far cry from owning your independent business.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/45597863

And, my bitch was with your response to that quote, particularly the first two words.

Not true. In general, a franchisee is licensed to represent the brand following the methods and branding identity required by the franchising organization. If a franchisee violates the agreement, the franchisor can revoke the license to represent their brand. They can't take the business.

Revocation means all identity, menu's, etc., must be removed. They can't take the building, the equipment, etc. That is the sole property of the franchisee. A franchisee could re-open their business selling the same type of items, but there can be no implied connection to the original franchisor operation.

The only exception to this rule is when the franchisor finances the purchase of the business. McDonald's does this as a manner of course. For example, McDonald's frequently owns the land the restaurant is built on and leases it to the franchisee. It's possible that lease includes a stipulation that the business must be a McDonalds Crop operation. I don't know if DQ follows that model.

This happens frequently.
 
Re: Dairy Queen owner unleashed a racist tirade on customer, He no longer has a Busin

Possibly true. Since I currently have no full knowledge of the agreement I couldn't say one way or another. Jim my own the property and facility or he may not. Haven't read anything about that yet.

If he does retain ownership of the facility, given the revelation of his attitude towards customers he should have been grateful wanted to business with him, I doubt his future business will remain much longer, no matter what he tries to do.

The guy deserves whatever business damage comes his way. It's inexcusable to treat any undeserving customer the way this story has been reported.

So franchisees don't own anything? I corrected you on that. Not sure why you are doubling down on that.

Keep going if you must, most entertaining.

They certainly do not own the franchise's business model, brand or the rights to the products they sell. They rarely, if ever, own the building from which they operate. They do not own the equipment. They do not own much except the license to sell the franchise's products, at prices set by the franchise.

Franchisees are 100% beholden to the rules set by the franchiser. A McDonald's franchisee cannot simply tell corporate to take a hike and start selling homemade burgers and chicken sandwiches under the Golden Arches and call them Big Macs, Quarter Pounders and McChickens. He can't just go out and buy his own fries. He can't even go out and buy his own napkins, cups and straws. :roll:

You wrote the franchisee doesn't own anything. Unless it's under the circumstances I described (McDonalds for example) that statement is false.

Perhaps if you read what I wrote, you wouldn't be so adamant to prove how wrong you are.

An operator who has lost his license can most certainly sell items the restaurant is designed to prepare and sell. They can open themselves to lawsuits if they attempt in any way to operate with any way that implies they may still be affiliated with the franchisor.

For example, they can't re-open as "Dairy Princess" and sell items like a "snowstorm", or any other similar reference.

There are some agreements that include a period of non-compete, but those have loopholes that most former franchisees can work around.

Look, I'm not trying to hammer you into submission. I spent 25 years working with Franchising Corporations including McDonalds, DQ, Wendy's, Yum Brands, etc., etc.. I worked directly with Franchisee Groups.

I'm not speaking from ignorance here calamity.

What does he own? He's probably leasing the building, either from the franchise or a holding company they control. He definitely does not own the ice cream machines, the chairs, the table, the counter, nothing. All that stuff is DQ controlled. He's either leasing it from DQ direct or from their approved suppliers.

Now, is he free to open up his own ice cream stand somewhere in Zion? Of course. But, he certainly cannot continue to operate out of the same building, using the same equipment.

Why McDonald's won't ever get rid of its real estate
McDonald’s is one of the biggest real estate companies in the world. It owns $28.4 billion worth of land and buildings, before depreciation. It also leases the land, the buildings or both on 15,000 of its restaurant sites. In most cases, the company controls the real estate regardless of how the site or the building is obtained. It then leases those sites to the franchisees, often at a big markup.
