Probably because they offer anonymous unionizing services. [/s, but not really]

At first I figured it was a site where you can pay people to harass overworked and underpaid hourly cashiers, but most of the services I looked at seem to be pretty legitimate with clever marketing. Although the aforementioned union stuff is a sketchy.

I have 5 within 7 miles and 19 within 12 miles.
I have 12 Waffle Houses within 9 miles of my house.

There is a 1 McDonalds and a Waffle House within walking distance.

I think I need to walk more, and not in that direction....

Today I learned there's a big lizard in my garage.

Tomorrow I hope to learn how to convince it to leave before it dies and rots in my garage.

Make sure you ask about how to save 15% or more on car insurance before kicking it out.
