Supporting 46 stores. Surely they are burning a large portion of collections.

Thats exactly why they are closing them.

With things like bank branches and service centres like this you need a certain amount of traffic to the branch to justify the business.
 
noticed this over the holidays, even mentioned it on a previous thread,

short answer its failing miserably

long answer , their gonna make up some SPIN and tell us that their now invisible and only people who comply can see them and pay:D
 
Money spent on the shops is like flushing it down the toilet.

Macro evolution requires believing in theories that scientists are punting regarding one species magically morphing into another.
You can choose to believe that you came from some primordial soup but I personally don't believe in that theory.

From Wikipedia:

A common misconception is that scientific theories are rudimentary ideas that will eventually graduate into scientific laws when enough data and evidence have been accumulated. A theory does not change into a scientific law with the accumulation of new or better evidence. A theory will always remain a theory; a law will always remain a law. A theory is valid as long as there is no evidence to dispute it. Therefore, theories can be disproven.

Theories and laws are also distinct from hypotheses. Unlike hypotheses, theories and laws may be simply referred to as scientific fact.

Celebrating victory?
I think this is a true statement:
However, the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) told MyBroadband that the closures are part of the planned evolution of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project.

They want e-Tags to become compulsory, so you will get it when licencing your vehicle.

Getting even more OT now but I don't get that last sentence.
I don't understand how a theory can be referred to as a scientific fact if there is the possibility that it can be disproven in future.
