I remember a few years ago, AA took the olive off the salad and saved 1 million a year. That's what they look at, not the $.10 olive!

But sounds like a great conversation you had!
Interesting you mention the olive and AA. She indicated that in one of AA's wraps that she needed to get a particular olive from a grower in CA. Even the grower needed to outsource for that particular olive. It seems in AA's case the olive went from the salad to the wrap
