How about a pay it forward program, where a homeless person or someone down on their luck can come in and be given a wholesome lunch and drink? Much more meaningful and allows everyone to help the less fortunate.

I'm very disappointed in this new "Roll Up the Rim" contest - as senior citizens it is complicated and unnecessary ! If people can't roll up the rim with their own hands then forget about it --- probably 65 % of customers are over the age of 50 and enjoy the "Roll Up the Rim" contest for several years. What is the point of making everything digital and virtually not fun! A very loyal customer for many, many years ----
