Long-term Debt [Abstract]
Long-term Debt	10. Long-term Debt On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $250.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of banks, which matures on May 4, 2016. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is able to borrow funds at variable interest rates based on, at the Company's election, the Eurodollar rate or a base rate, plus in each case a spread based on the Company's consolidated funded debt ratio. Availability of credit requires compliance with certain financial and other covenants, including a maximum consolidated funded debt ratio and minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Company tests its compliance with these financial covenants on a fiscal quarterly basis. At November 24, 2012, the interest rates applicable to the Company's borrowings under the Credit Agreement would be calculated as LIBOR plus 100 basis points at the time of the respective borrowing. As of November 24, 2012, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, letters of credit amounting to $43.7 million and $206.3 million available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement. On September 14, 2006, the Company issued $100.0 million of floating rates notes ("Floating Rate Notes") pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement ("2006 Note Agreement"). The Floating Rate Notes mature on September 14, 2013, bear interest at LIBOR plus 50 basis points and may be repaid at face value two years from the date of issuance. As of November 24, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement and the 2006 Note Agreement.
