And if you hired the right people, you could compete at industry standards for food and gift concessions. And so those were important and you know, our job, you had to look at it in some ways in a funny way, our job was to extract every penny and every dime and every dollar out of everybody’s purse when they came to the zoo that day. I mean, the simple thing of just putting in, you know, getting a contract with Coca-Cola or Pepsi and that bidding and how we did that. I mean, we didn’t even have machines in the zoo, so it became very important. People expect a good quality hamburger or hot dog when they come to the zoo. They don’t expect it to be the absolute world’s best, but they don’t think it should be junk either. They know that food’s secondary and qthere’s additional things in that because once you have those, they’re open and people want ’em to be open when they come to ’em, but it’s not profitable to have ’em open those first few hours in most places so you gotta work out compromises. And we always made sure we were open to the max because we didn’t want to upset people.
