“””””This little girl might *wish* for a policeman with a gun some day.””””””

What do you mean? They have a ‘no gun’ policy. That means nobody will ever bring a gun in there. They are safe from all gun threats.
Because they have the sign.

the employees or owner who kicked him out can now count on daily surveillance of all his or her activities by the police- and being pulled over repeatedly for violations such as broken tail lights, no turn signal, failure to stop completely etxc-

Society tends to reflect its leadership to some extent.

Consider who that is currently:

Baraq

Boehner

McConnell

Kardashians

Kanye West

Caitlyn Jenner

Etc.

I was there a couple of weeks ago, same thing. Small portions of average food. I haven’t been back. Hadn’t been there in 3-4 years before that.

But what exactly does this mean: we heart serving them

That's what I can't decipher. The intent of course is what you stated. But what the heck is a heart serving them?

They don’t just have a sign, they have an overaggressive hostess to point it out and enforce it doncha know.

"we heart serving them"

It probably used the heart emoticon in place of the word "love".

Idiocy.

Pure idiocy.

When 12 year old girls communicate like that, I can understand. But adults... idiocy.

Who in their right mind would eat in an Olive Garden anyway? It’s fake “italian” food. Heck, even red lobster is closer to sea food (it’s not seafood) than Olive garden is to italian.

I never, ever want to live where Olive Garden is a place anyonewould go to celebrate.

I just looked up their 2acheck rating and they state that they are very gun friendly. I am confused. www.2acheck.com/darden-restaurants-rating

“We heart serving them.” equals “We love serving them.”

A picture of a heart is usually used in place of the word “heart”.

They do get special treatment though. They get discounts off Oakley, Raybans, car dealerships, many, many restaurants, you would be surprised at how much discount they get too.

I remember FOX news having a story about a couple of weeks ago how a family paid the bill for a couple of cops at a restaurant and how nice it was. Unknown to that family is that those cops get a massive discount up to and sometimes over 50’%
