You will have an affirmation to your conclusion by the end of summer.

I am an ex-customer driven away from their stores by the deteriorating food quality. (The help was real polite though)

I shall eat there tomorrow and decide again about their food quality. We can sit at these nice PC terminals and toss back and forth our interpretation of their financials, however, the driver of the entire situation is their food quality and whether they can profitably attract customers in a cutthroat pricing environment.

As an observant individual, I once saw lines out the door at Boston Market. And the lines disappeared long ago about the time BOST started reporting financial problems. One is the indicator for the other.

The game time for this saga shall be short. We won't have to wait years for the outcome. I am a sideline observer who wishes to remind those that visit here that, at this very moment, based on what is known, a purchase of BOST is a gamble and not an investment. It may become an investment later but for now it is a gamble.
