Does Auntie Anne's Item 19 show profit or owner pay?

No. Auntie Anne's Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

The printed figures are retained; an authoritative correction is needed.
