[QUOTE=Joe Bonham;485369]I agree.

Again, I agree, any combination of these could be true.

As I said earlier, as a businessman, he needs to adjust his business to the circumstances. As you said, there's a variety of backgrounds and incomes in the OWS crowd... so why are they not buying? True, the trucks and other vendors are competing - but that's called the free market. He can cry all day about losing business, but in the end it seems his competitors are capitalising on the protests better than he is.[/QUOTE

Let's also not forget that 90% of all Food Venues that open in Manhattan fail in the first year for a whole host of reasons, and it is those who make the worst choices that tend to fall into bankruptcy soonest. The Trucks and other vendors tend to have the easiest time because they can move their venue to keep up with the movement of the customer base. Those that establish their business with the intent to serve the lowest common denominator are next in line since they have a large custermer base to serve. For that reason, all-you-can-eat-for-a-fixed-price venues fit this level, and do very well. The Chinese established this model in Manhattan, and they have expanded it to include foods not normally considered "Chinese", but which sell well and thus contribute to the profit margin. Other groups have followed suit, and so there are several all-you-can-eat-for-a-fixed-price venues in lower Manhattan.

The Take Out venues tend to stay open Monday through Friday to serve the Hourly Workers who are there at those times, with the exceptions of the McDonalds and Burger Kings and Wendies, who extend their hours during the Summer Tourist season.
