What a few days it’s been! Up until Sunday I was a Planet Fitness loyalist and brand protector. On Monday, I came out with my official statement ending my (unpaid) partnership with Planet Fitness indefinitely. Then on Tuesday, something incredible happened. And today, Wednesday April 10th, I am officially renouncing Monday’s renouncement of my loyalty …
By Amanda Bressner This blog is a rebuttal to Manndarko’s blog “Becoming A Regular At A Food Establishment” As a restaurant manager, I have to say how much we appreciate our regulars.

Forget eating Chinese food out of the container. Forget catchphrases. There is not a more overused TV sitcom trope than the characters being regulars at a food establishment. Friends.
