The PGC is still a government entity. As such, some bureaucratic inefficiencies are to be expected. Overall, they operate with more awareness of their constituency simply because license buyers are their primary cash cow. That doesnt mean they have to do their reporting to satisfy the likes of the USP. It would be perfectly reasonable for any of corporate America, including McDonalds or WalMart to have last months sales out by the 15Th of the next month. By the way, Mcdonalds and Walmart are the retailers. The PGC is the wholesaler depending on independnet vendors to report the sales to them. It is understandable that they may not have recieved all the infornation from their vendors on time. One of which is WalMart by the way.

Oh, and by the way, where do you find the sales figures on Mcdonalds hamburgers by the 15thof the following month. You made the declaration. All we ask is that you back up what you say.
