She might not be the AG but she was, and she is still Pam Bondi.

If her name is on the subpoena, she goes on the stand.

Now if she pulled the lizard mask all the way off and showed us the real Glorpambondini underneath she might just get away with it.

But then they could just subpoena Glorpambondini...

Thank you for your service.

5Guys is an institution and no 5Guys slander will be tolerated in our home.

This story does highlight how hard it is to scale bonuses across organizations. Even after knowing the realities of the P&L I fantasize about generating enough extra to windfall people. "If we just had a spare $2m we could..."

.. then when you see the math per head, even cutting executive staff, numbers like that turn into a one time $100 distribution which, after tax is like $70.

The game be the game. Quality, Service, Price, pick two.

5Guys is a rare example of hitting all three imo.

Better is relative in this case. Yes, there are amazing local (typically brewery around me) places, usually but not always at higher price point.

But sometimes that greasy, made the way I want it, perfectly soaked bun is the only thing that will do.

And for consistency in both service and food across any and every location I've been in, at this point they are unmatched on their space. For someone with a sensitive stomach, I can eat their burgers without future repercussions - no other fast food can do that. Not even whatabuger.

If I see a 5Guys when traveling it's like an oasis.

That we live in a time where showing ice-less beverages in media could be portrayed as rebellious is just remarkable.

I contend that morphic resonance is a thing.

Microsoft's first defining act was to send a cease and desist letter to a bunch of garage computing enthusiasts. Scarred bullies doing scarred bully things.

They could be flipping them for money in culturally repressed markets, pranking each other with a small but(t) sensitive item, spousal and personal use.. fun at extreme scale lol.

Whatever it is, even as boringly significant as an address audit, there could be more to the story, and I for one would scroll that article.
