Parsad Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 A robber got 22 years for holding up six restaurants including Steak'n Shake. The long sentence applied because prosecutors charged him in Federal Court on an Interstate robbery charge.

claphands22 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Stabbing, robbing, shooting - it is all part of the Steak 'N Shake experience. Steak 'N Shake might spit off plenty of cash for Sardar but for whatever reason, this restaurant just attracts the worse in people. Hopefully, this changes.

Oh geez, like these things don't happen in a McDonald's all the time...and all sorts of other restaurants. It's just that you're paying attention.

My brain probably guesstimates a higher crime rate at Steak 'N Shake because I pay attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Most McDonald's restaurants, as well as most other fast food places, aren't open till 3am or 24 hours. Drive-thrus...yes...restaurants...mostly no. Alot of franchised Steak'n Shakes are open very late. I believe some company-owned restaurants in urban areas are open late as well...some 24 hours. Anybody been to downtown Atlanta? I stayed at a hotel there, and decided to go get a burger late at night at some joint. They had bars on all the windows and you couldn't go inside...it was 9pm! Afterwards, I went across the street to a gas station convenience store to grab some water and snacks for the hotel. They had bullet-proof glass from the cashier's countertop to the ceiling! You can't put that in a 24 hour Steak'n Shake, so they make for an easier target in certain areas. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, McDonald's was my example not because it was an exact comparison, but that they'd have S&S beat on sheer numbers, if nothing else. A better comparison might be a diner, then, and I'm sure there's nothing "special" about S&S which attracts more crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi Rmitz, I totally agree with you. That's what I was trying to point out. It's not Steak'n Shake. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoRaptorsFan Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Sanjeev, I was in downtown Atlanta this past September for a trade show. I agree with you that the city is scary! Everyone was complaining to the organizners of the trade show about their decision to have Atlanta be the host. The streets were desolate by 7pm. The city should be ashamed for letting the city turn into a dump. It's really sad to see. On the positive side the people are friendly, the restaurants are nice, but...it's not somewhere I would like to live. I hope they move the show back to Denver next year. It's so much nicer!

Parsad Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 The Atlanta suburbs are very nice, but downtown Atlanta is scary. I've also heard some scary things about Detroit as well, but haven't been yet. It's amazing the transformation that occurred to Manhattan over a decade. It's one of the safest large cities I've been too. And contrary to what the media has portrayed, Chicago is a very safe, comfortable city as well. Cheers!
