[quote=Anonymous][quote]Third, why is it you think success elsewhere means absolutely nothing? They aren't a franchise, they aren't a copy or one-off, they aren't just working off of a piece of paper with a plan on it. Basis DC is run and managed by the exact same people, and they brought several AZ staff to DC to run it. It's not as though they are starting from scratch, they already have seasoned people with experience in making it a success, as they did in AZ. Every time a new Whole Foods opens up, do you sit back skeptically scratching your chin, saying "gee, I'm not convinced they are actually going to sell organic produce?" Doesn't make much sense, but that's what you're doing here.[/quote]

I abbreviated the quote for clarity. However, in case of doubt, I am the poster you are quoting.

Frankly, you are making no sense. No one said that success elsewhere means absolutely nothing. That would be what we call a wide, sweeping generalization. What was said, exactly, is that success elsewhere does not mean success here. That's it. Pretty simple.

Let's go to your next point. Right after you say they aren't a copy (which is my point. If they aren't a copy, why would you expect the same successes or failures?) you then say that they are run by the same people and therefore we should trust them because they are the same people! Even though they are operating in a totally different city!

Then, hysterically, you bring in a Whole Foods analogy (which really makes me wonder if you get out much).

Let's break this down.

Your argument is something like this. If you go to one WF, you go to them all. Second, you think doubting a fact (does WF sell organic produce or doesn't it?) is somehow equal to judging a school, which is a qualitative question if there ever was one.

Please. Please. Do a better job educating yourself.[/quote]
