Quiznos or Subway?
I thought Barber's answer to that question at the very end of the interview made no sense at all. Colbert asked him and he answered, "I guess a Subway man but maybe someone else has to really determine that." Who is he talkin about to determine his preference on subs? He seems too vague to me lookin at how he answers questions even on survey questions.

Tell me if I am misunderstanding what you are saying, but I dont think it matters who he is talking about who will determine his preference. He is saying that he basically has no choice in the matter because someone else will always make up the choice. Just like when you go to a restuarant and they only have Pepsi products. If you want a soda, then you would have to go with Pepsi. You have no choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with ya, on what he is trying say. I just don't respect his research or the way he presents his ideas, I guess.
ReplyDeletehmmmm
ReplyDeleteHere's something to think about the soda conandrum and restaurants. Is your desire to have a choice between pepsi or coca-cola more important than the restaurants management's desire to make the most profit possible? A person has the right to choose what they want to drink but the management also has a right to minimize their expenses (order only one set of soda) and thus maximize their profit? Whose right carries more weight? I believe it was Dagan who mentioned that in the greater scheme of life. But what do you all think about the cell phone companies. It seems outside most major cities, either AT&T or Verizon have monopolies in various areas. If you ask someone in one of those areas as why they prefer one company over another, oftentimes they'll mention that the other company's service has always sucked in the area. It seems as if each company has 'fenced off' their own turf, and the respective rival refuses to update/improve the service in that area.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that this is closer to Barber's claim 'that someone else will determine that' due to the fact that if you want good phone service in an area where only one company has reliable service, you have to go with that one company. What do you all think about it? Is it a corporate detente between AT&T and Verizon to carve out chunks of American land in order for one of the companies to have a monopoly in it's respective 'turf' or is just some farfetched conspiracy theory of mine?
