Probably a good financial decision don't see the relationship between the sponsorship and driving profitable transactions to the restaurants. Could be different outside the USA as they probably pay a smaller portion and get a bigger return in the USA we get no value out of it that I can see.

Leading from behind but at least someone's done the right thing here.

Isn't that what we've always done? Last to everything. Maybe that'll change.
