Gluttony often causes indigestion.
When Piccadilly Cafeterias acquired Morrison Restaurants in May of 1998, it simply overate. The marriage of the push-tray titans was supposed to breed synergy. Instead, the merger produced a bloated Piccadilly hell-bent on conversion. The greed has not come cheap. As the painful makeover continues, the patron defections at the converted Morrison eateries grow more severe with each passing quarter.
