Krystals don't have the holes in them like White Castles do. As with most everything it's location etc. The Krystals I get are great but have to drive two hours for them in Savannah Georgia.

Poor quality has caused several locations to close. Kystals were once all over South Carolina in the late 80s but that expansion only lasted a few years and retracted back to early 80s levels. About two years ago they opened 3 new locations in Greenville SC and were looking at opening more in the area. As of this year there is now only one in Greenville and the others seem to put on indefinite hold.

I always like to look at these places websites to see new openings announced but get the same answer, nowhere near where I live.

Any federal version of health care is unconstitutional since Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution does not specifically list regulating health care as an enumerated power! The people are not bound by an unconstitutional act! White Castle and employees must defy this usurpation of the Constitution!

but apparently bureaucrats believe they know better.

I believe the bureaucrats know exactly what will happen. Whether it is their plan to fundamentally change America or just lining their own pockets, they just don't care.

The old joke is the holes are where the shot the horse.

When I first moved down south I went to Krystals hoping they would be the replacement for WH. I was disappointed. Every so often I go up north and have a regular food round in NY. White C, Bagels, chinese in NYC and the fantastic overpriced lobster bisque at a place near my house.

I haven’t been to a White Castle since the early 70’s. We used to call them button burgers.

In the 1940’s, I was a kid growing up in New Orleans. There was a Krystal on Royal Street, just off Canal St. After going to a movie at the Orpheum or the Saenger, to the Krystal for several of them at seven cents each. Had to fight a mob to get in. Then on the S. Claiborne streetcar to go home - that also cost seven cents.

Memories of days gone by...

White Castle should threaten to lock-out or close down for an indefinite period of time, or shut down their hours to a bare minimum by shuffling management to proximity stores at restricted hours. (as many business should)

My mom grew up in Wichita in the 20’s, where the first WC was. But I think she was too poor to go even there.

I too have fond memories of the good ole days in South Alabama. I remember Krystal burger’s going for 5 cents in the mid fifties and getting into a movie theater cost you a bottle top from a Pepsi or a Co-cola. Only I remember trying to sneak my burgers into the theater, half the time I was caught, and had to eat them outside. The only condiment was a little mustard, to go with the pickle and onions. Man were they good!

Starting that year, the bill levies a $3,000-per-employee penalty on companies whose workers pay more than 9.5 percent of household income in premiums for company-provided insurance.

What rarely seems discussed in this whole abomination is the cost attached to performing income verifications for every employee to determine what household income is.

Not only does the employee's income need to be verified (a certain number of them probably have more than one job), but the income of every employed member of the household has to be verified.

Aside from the actual dollar expense, the invasion of privacy is repugnant.

What a horrible mess these Marxists have created.

Those sliders keep getting smaller and smaller.

Since all employers will experience rising costs, the competitive effect will be nil because prices will rise and eventually so will wages in a trickle up and unending inflationary spiral.

Regardless. The fundamentals are that the Government that orders/commands/dictates that people buy certain things...doesn’t itself have the money. The citizens, many do not have the money, nor the business have it, nor the customers.

The only short term option is to borrow. So, one or the other, citizens/serfs will have to, or business will have to or government will have to borrow each year.

Right now it seems the ever deluded and threat to us all government officials have yet to, if ever, accept this reality. Until the do, or are forced to, things will get worse, and at an accelerating pace.
