Ramstein and i assume other morale welfare and recreation mar facilities As discontinued Selling canned soft opt ing for Fountain drinks i realize they make More profit much More my guess would be More than 90 percent on Fountain versus Over 50 percent on canned drinks but were they really losing Money its really hard for me to believe mar is not making enough Money on their overpriced ill accept managements decision on cutting out canned drinks and show this acceptance by not eating in these places and i am sure others will do How i would really like to know Why there is no Pepsi or Pepsi is the profit mar Gin lower on these products 80 percent instead of 90 percent on Why 40 cents for a Small Fountain drink instead of 35 cents How about putting in a soft drink vend ing machine which vends canned Pepsi and Pepsi Lite at an honest Price of 35 cents since the facility would not have to provide an employee to serve it they  lose i could go on for several More paragraphs on this

Back of checks cashed in mar facilities at Ramstein i commented on this to mar previously and their response did not answer the ques Tion Why is it really necessary i feel that when i write a if it i am liable for whatever charges May be As i Call it implied consent and just As i am aware that when i enter a military in my vehicle is subject to or that when i Cash a worthless Check in the i will have to pay a Why cant it be the same for mar facilities if we cant do away with this in Tim consuming How about changing it for e5s and above withheld Germany editors note we have two replies to this
