| Basis of Presentation and Consolidation [Abstract] | |
| Reclassifications [Text Block] | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the current period presentation. Beginning in 2011, pre-opening expenses, previously reported as a separate operating expense line, were included in SG&A expense due to the immaterial nature of such expense in recent years. The impact to the SG&A expense ratio for 2010 and 2009 was an increase of 10 basis points. Beginning in 2011, restructuring and management transition charges were reported as a separate operating expense line. Previously, 2010 charges were included in real estate and other, net. None of the reclassifications affected our net (loss)/income in any period. |
