TOWN WOMAN: The ones that have been came through and built have been good business. like as far as calling in ahead of time saying “can I have 40 lunches. Can you have them ready at 12:10?” It’s been a good business having them come through.

TIBBLES: And she’s all for the pipeline.

TOWN WOMAN: It does boost the economy for everyone around here. Me, my employees, that might mean difference in an employee getting a new car. Might mean a new air conditioning system for the tavern or I might be able to have a vacation.
