    Nice? I see the franchisee as being incredibly shrewd.

    Small price to pay for all that free press.

    Free press MAYBE, but it IS a nice gesture! SOME apparently got a few thousand dollars, and relevant people, ones that actually RUN the stores, or people below them, there probably make like $50K/year or less, so $3000 is a nice chunk. That is like an extra months salary!

    Employees make the difference between a customer coming back - or not.
    I hope he did it for that reason.

      I'm sure he did. Are people going to go there ONLY because he paid employees a part of his prize? I think it is unlikely. But like I implied, if they are RELEVANT, meaning the ones INVOLVED with the restaurant, it will help loyalty and may help bring in some nice employees. This may never happen again, but employees like to feel that it COULD! HECK, maybe they will have a nice year, and he will give them a bonus or something.
