Using todays standards NO stars probably even get an award.

I still hand out stick on stars on paperwork at work, but then I also sign my official paperwork in crayon.........

What color crayon do you use. "Moral Ambiguity Gray"

My guess is that millennials(sp?) would know exactly what each name means and how to use it.
Now somebody tell me how to spell that millennium word correctly in the above sentence.

You got it right Roger.

'Psychologically scarred' millennials are killing countless industries from napkins to Applebee's.
Reference: http://www.businessinsider.com/millenni ... ist-2017-8

"In August, Applebee's announced it would close up to 135 restaurants, in part because it focused too much on winning over millennials and forgot its 'Middle America roots.' "

How is Applebee's error the Millennials' fault?

Hope they don't close the one in the Pittsburgh Mills Mall. I like Applebee's. Their bourbon steak is awesome.

Try their "Brewhouse Chicken." I get it every time I go there. Really tasty. Every morsel.

I don't go ao Applebees any more because I like medium rare or medium cooked hamburgers. I ask if they will cook it that way and am told they will but it is always super well done.

I'll try and give you a millennial's point of view. I'm a child from baby boomer's. With a co worker having a millennial daughter. His daughter graduated from Oxford with a master's degree. Banking and international finance. She is business proficient in English(native language),French, Arabic, Farsi,Hindi,and Urdu. After graduation she was offered a job. $65,000 to start @ Mellon bank in NYC. She wanted a PHD. from Oxford. Her father, Several of our customers with phds and i urged her to take the job. By the time she gets a phd these jobs may not be around. She takes the job and moves to Hoboken NJ. Miss millennial moves into a 6 floor walk up for $2,100 a month plus utilities. She has no car. Her student loan is $1,250 a month. Her internet bill is $125 a month. She needs this to work online via video calls. Her food budget is $100 a week. 1 meal at applebee's would be a third of her weekly food budget. Sometime she needs to have lunch meetings with bank brass. Then she will eat out.(the bank picks up the tap) If her lunch meeting is with coworker and non brass she claims " i can't eat i'm getting some blood work done and need to fast for a day). After a few weeks of that story line she know tells the truth. this place is 3/4 of my weekly food budget.I'll have tea. Come feb. she'll get a raise in pay. Probably up to $85,-90,000 and thing will be ok.
Yesterday while shopping i noticed that Doritos are $7,00 a lbs. That is lot Bananas are 47 cents a lbs. Who can afford to eat junk food? Eat bananas. even cucumbers or peppers are $1.00 a lbs.
Back to Applebees the do not offer organic meals or fair trade food. that alone does not sit well with millennials.

No, just plain old green, blue, red, or orange. Pretty traditional.

I think I'd stay away from that guy, in traffic.

Everybody's looking for someone else to blame for their bad decision making........

$65,000 to start @ Mellon bank in NYC.

Hard to survive on your own in a big city for that money.

She wanted a PHD. from Oxford. Her father, Several of our customers with phds and i urged her to take the job. By the time she gets a phd these jobs may not be around.

Depends on degree area.....but there are no guarantees...

She takes the job and moves to Hoboken NJ. Miss millennial moves into a 6 floor walk up for $2,100 a month plus utilities. She has no car. Her student loan is $1,250 a month. Her internet bill is $125 a month. She needs this to work online via video calls. Her food budget is $100 a week.

Surprised she can afford Hoboken even.....but no car helps since that reduces costs. Commuting bill is probably significant, too.

Come feb. she'll get a raise in pay. Probably up to $85,-90,000 and thing will be ok.

But again, no guarantees - for all she knows they will replace her with the next $65k cannon fodder kid and save $20k.....

Who can afford to eat junk food? Eat bananas. even cucumbers or peppers are $1.00 a lbs.

And hit the mark down bins at the bigger grocery stores - all kinds of good stuff in them!!!!

I'm assuming Imafuku is somebody's family name or an oriental company name (pronounced "Imma-foo-koo" )?
