Tasti D-Lite LLC Wins Over 36 Independents - Rationality Not Suspected
If you ever needed proof that there is one born every minute, please read the following:
Existing Tasti D-Lite Owners Sign Franchise Agreements With Tasti D-Lite LLC
Tasti D-Lite, New York’s favorite guilt-free dessert is ready to remodel a majority of existing retail centers with the new Tasti D-Lite brand image. As of last week, the owners of 36 existing independently owned and operated centers, located primarily in New York City, finalized franchise conversion agreements with the Tasti D-Lite management team.[FBO]
Especially charming for its naivete was this quote:
Newly converted Franchisee Bruce Weiss adds, "It is clear that Tasti D Lite LLC has already spent an enormous amount of time money and effort and has assembled a very impressive team with great expertise, vision, passion and dedication that will no doubt make this brand the number one frozen dessert in our category in a very short time.
Mr. Weiss was at a loss to explain how being number one in the frozen dessert category was going to add to his pocket book.
I have no doubt that Mr. Weiss and the other 35 "converts" talked with all of the Sona MedSpa, Mailboxes Etc, and other Amos franchisees.
There is nothing more impressive than mass stupidity. It warms my soul to know that Jimbo Amos still has what it takes as a con.
The honeymoon lasts as long the New York Franchise Act statue of limitations run - is that a year or two, Paul?
Proof Positive that if you tell a lie and tell it loud and often
Mr. Amos, still the master of mass deception!
How can there be liability in the sellinng of a guilt free
franchise?--

I cannot believe with all the information out there concerning the famous Amos people are still willing to jump off the cliff. What in the hell is it going to take to stop this SOB.
I guess the only explanation is
There will always those that will want to believe, and the Amos's of the world will exploit that fact.
Lemmings United
Bruce, enjoy the kool aid, you never heard about Jim Jones, Jones town, Brice Foods, The Yogurt Debacle, Sona and the short lived auction company.
Beware the Pillsbury Dough Boy thumping his bible and anything else he can!`
It isn't without
It isn't without trying!!!
We tried and tried to warn them about Jim!!
It will take approx 6-18 months to figure out what a MASSIVE mistake
they have made. Paul Steinberg should get his business cards circulating!

Paul ought to fax the TD thread to these "converts" every month.
And ask: "How is that working for You?"

Amos in Korea
Amos also announced a Tasti master franchise in South Korea. Man, if you think the Koreans hated Americans before, this will likely be the impetus for the full US expulsion from Korea in 18 months or so.
Kim Jong-il/Amos - A Dream Ticket for the Korean Peninsula!
Hey, I am even willing to do
Hey, I am even willing to do the first month faxing for free!
Just get me the numbers.
Hell Paul, you might be able to retire off of this!
Sit back, have a beer, file yet another Amos lawsuit when he
DESTROYS your franchise.
First up will be all new cabinets from PIN out of the Dallas area. You will be dealing with Jay Scalise, former employee of MBE, under Jimbo's reign!
then comes Heather
You will know that the Tasti-D Titanic has hit the iceberg when Heather Rose arrives to join the team!
How in god's name could the Tasti franchisees have been fooled with all of the available Amos history of destruction out there? Can't we get a list of franchisee addresses and send them sympathy cards?
then comes Heather
This comment has been moved here.
You know what P T Barnum Said
And Amos is just happy that one is born every minute and he only needs one a day to keep his "dream" afloat! Pretty good odds for the scoundrels.
Oh, yes, every minute of every day, a woman in the United States gives birth to a "sucker". Let's find that woman and stop her!
Amos is so predictable
Of course the first part of the plan is to remodel 35 stores. This will put $500,000 to $1,000,000 million into the hands of Tasti D-Lite contractors (all under the control of Amos) of which he will keep thru kickbacks etc several hundred thousand dollars.
Next will come increased costs for a higher quality product, more dollars for Amos.
And on and on it goes ...
How dumb can these people be?
I hate to say this to Amos
The Bible says we will know Christians by their fruits.. Their lives will show if they are indeed Christians.
Amos and Heather Rose you are giving Christians a bad name. From all the bad stories about you, stop using Christianity as a way to conn people. Leave your faith out of your business dealings. You have a bad name already. Don't give Jesus a bad name.
Christian Values
I believe that Rose is on number 3 or 4 marriage, kinda doesnt work with the whole christian/family values pitch????
Is the term knowing Christians by their fruits...
an exoneration of being gay?--

Your humor is never ending
Fruits is the type of person they are. In the case of Amos and Heather Rose, they are indeed using their faith as a way to gain financially they are not good people. Their lives show no Christian values. According to the Bible they are like bad apples, rotten to the core.
Many stories Jesus preached to the crowds were in parables. The saying you know Christians by their fruits. It means the way they are.
Hypocrisy?
If you don't personally know Jim Amos and Heather Rose, or have first hand knowledge that entitles you to judge them, I wonder if it's appropriate for you to be casting stones at them? Since you also speak of Jesus in your attack, what would Jesus say?
Client No. 9
In fairness to DoDil, we need to remember that there is a history of public piety in franchise fora by this particular man.
As such, he can't complain about being judged by those professed values. I am reminded of Richard Solomon when the Spuds To Go franchisor threatened to sue him and said that he was going to post an expose on Solomon; Solomon admitted to being every bit as bad as SpuddiePie claimed and then some.
Solomon doubts that St. Peter will call his name , but Jim Amos rules his world knowing with certainty that St. Peter has Jimbo at the top of the list. My guess is that their respective viewpoints inform their actions, and a theologian might hazard that both Solomon and Amos will be proved wrong (..to the chagrin of both, LoL).
Mr. Amos would take a lot less flak if he either were less of a bible-thumping showoff or in the alternative, if he did not accumulate the Brice/Sona/UPS-MBE record that he has.

Tasti trade dress
I saw the new Tast-D exterior in Manhattan (Lexington Ave btwn 85 & 86 Streets) and it is eye-catching. If I can find my camera cable I'll post a shot.

Trade Dress
Of course it will be wonderful. I liked the UPS trade dress, too.
And let me guess: it was "free" to all those who signed the franchise agreement on or before April 1st, 2008.
