You are on a jihad against franchising. You have no objectivity whatsoever. What is your problem?

Quizno's is a poor economic model for franchise investment and I would recommed folks avoid it. However you damn all all of franchising with your rhetoric and will not admit that franchisees often fail because they are poor businesspeople and operators. You cannot even bring yourself to say that franchisees cheat franchisors by under reporting royalties, are not compliant with their obligations and are a detriment and risk to their fellow franchisees.

Regarding dealing one on one with franchisees what is wrong with it? The relationship is franchisee to franchisor.
