At enterprise scale I can see a contract for being able to renew your support contract. Aka for us to implement this, we expect you to support it but we aren’t going to pay you up front in case it doesn’t pan out or we drop the project.

Very much so, they have become a status symbol for some people.

They used to be incredibly well made, I believe they still are but the draw for many people is the name and known high price tag.

I regularly go to these stores, and I wonder why they are so close. It’s handy since one or two times one store had something the other didn’t. It’s a bit more than just crossing the street but not much.

Galleria is in the second story inside an indoor mall. Americana is an outdoor mall, and they are even on the sides closer to each other.

Yea, I think if they were offered severance as part of dismissal/layoff and it had a non compete they could lose that. Beyond that, it doesn’t hold much water in CA for the employees.

Looks delicious!
