I think that's their standard MO.  We have a lot of them in TN since their

I went to school for my CompTIA A+ certification about two miles away from
WH HQ.  There's two WHs within a half-mile on either side of HQ, both great

soldiers food all the time.

and rode motorcycles from Phoenix to Indiana a lot in the 70s.

That and all the crazy people wandering those same roads.  I still prefer to
take national/state routes and byways when I can if I am not in a hurry.
