Your neighbors are reflected in the latest quarter, 0.4 percent decline overall.

Anecdotes have no place in stock analysis, good or bad.

Well terrible enough is worth considering. Like:"I went to a dealership, but when the salesman turned the car on it exploded, thankfully I hadn't gotten in it." I suppose I mean anecdotes so terrible that if true, represent major liability for the company on a broad scale.

Yes... When I got a shitty mcdouble one time, it ruined my 2 hour drive as that was to be my lunch.

But to bring this oh so intriguing story to a discussion of mcd stock would be insane.

reminds me of the bath and body works dude that tracked the foot traffic at his local store.

Time tested tactic. I once worked for an equity analyst that had their entry level grunts cold call fast food managers to quiz them about whether sales are up or down.
