13. Don't pay any attention to the naysayers.
Edited on Thu Jun-10-10 05:49 AM by TexasObserver
Most of them have no idea how a franchise agreement works, and certainly have no idea how much of every dollar BP gets that the BP centers cash flow. BP makes money directly from all sales and by pushing its product lines.

As with all big companies, you hurt them by not doing business with them. The meme "but you're hurting the business people who own BP centers" is just another company promoted line. When someone gets in bed with BP, they take the bad with the good, and this is the bad.
