Did you, perhaps, notice a large BAH HUMBUG sign posted?
For real...I could not get over it. The bar at Friday's was always a place during the holidays that was so awesome. They would have Christmas music playing and the bar decorated. I worked there one year out of high school and we had a blast having christmas parties there. Now the place has these faces on people that are just like slaves.
TGI Fridays Jumped the Shark back around 1981.
Here in Springfield Oregon several older men are making signs. They are Christian MERYY CHRISTMAS signs, and, they aree popping up all over town.
Methinks the people are getting VERY fed up with this nonsence.
No problem...just spread the word...I mean they won't even allow the waiters and waitresses to wear santa hat's..out of hand.
I would have asked to see the manager so I could pass on to him my intention to walk away from TGIF and never return, and of course to make it clear why.
When did Friday's open? The first one I went into had to be 1981 actually.
I got the number actually to their corporate offices and the GM was not on duty. I got the info...should I post it and see what they think of 5,000 Freepers ringin their phones tomorrow?
They were open in the 70's. They used to have good food, free appetizers during happy hour, etc. They have sucked for years.
Could be good.
I think, btw, that perhaps ambrose was implying that TGI Fridays is the kind of thing that got into business with the shark pre-jumped, so to speak.
Wow...so you are saying that the shark was swimming in the tank when the blueprints were still on the table? That has to be a new one.
I hate those places, what with their fake ambience and over-the-top attitude and flattery (flattitude?) and their 21 pieces of flair....
Hooters has lights up year round. :O)
lmfao...hahahahahaha
I've eaten there like twice, never was a fan. Overpriced, badly cooked fast-food.
While we certainly need to speak up when we don't like what we see (or don't see, as the case may be), we need to be sure to express approval for those who still acknowledge Christmas and especially those who realize that "Jesus is the reason for the season".
And I also recently was shopping at a Hobby Lobby and was sure to drop a little extra in the Salvation Army kettle outside the door ... :-)
Look, we want you to express yourself, okay? If you think the bare minimum is enough, then okay. But some people choose to wear more and we encourage that, okay? You do want to express yourself, don't you?
