A quick review of their annual income statement shows a steady increase over the last three years.

  • FYE 31-Mar-06: $1,312,485

That does seem like it would be about right. I did the case study in '06, and haven't kept up on the numbers of how they're doing.

Isn't that what Starbucks is doing now? I thought I remembered seeing someone posting something along those lines here.
Technically, yes, since their machines are set up so that the shot timing is automatic. I was guessing she meant something that's just a step above those little gas station-convenience store machines that at a press of a button makes you a drink.

I'm trying to think of what the vile smell might be, but perhaps you just don't like coffee? To me, unless I'm craving over-salted french fries (which I crave from time-to-PMSy-time), McDonald's already smells pretty greasy and vile. I can't imagine coffee would smell very good with that.

Bleh.
