What do you think a business's responsibilities are to the communities that support them?

Well, first of all, I want to let you know that we do have a giving back day coming up actually this Saturday at all of our locations.

So all of the profits are going to go to various charities in Houston, San Antonio and Central Texas.

So it's a good timing to have this conversation.

Well, for us, we were astonished how forgiving our customers were.

And as I said earlier, actually rooting us on, telling us that they were going to come back despite the mistakes we were making.

And we were making plenty.

Yeah.

No, we really did, and it's, it's almost wasn't a fair fight because every one of those I, I mentioned to you are all f- are all large franchise-based companies, right? They follow a set of rules.
