Life is good for Rev. Al.
And justly deserved, I might add. :-)
Ohhhh.
I am not big on Denny's have only dined there in the past when that is the only place next to where I am sleeping for the night.
And it is too late for other places to be open.
Always reminded me of cold cafateria food.
Even in our long hospital stays the OHSU dining beats a Denny's hands down.
I just figure if we all stand there and take it, nothing will ever change.
When my daddy ran a grocery store, my sister and I were "required" to appear there after school every day to work. If we had talked on the phone while we were waiting on a customer, I doubt I'd be here today. :-)
We went to ChiChi's in Roanoke a number of years ago & were seated for over 20 minutes when we asked for a waitress after seeing others that came after us getting served. After finally getting the attention of a waitress we were told ours would be with us soon. After another 20 or so minutes with no waitress we left and complained to the front desk. They asked where we were sitting and we told them. They commented to each other & marked on the seating chart that waitress so & so's table was now open. We never returned.
There was a big uproar around here a few years ago. A family owned a restaurant. They had 2 young girls that worked after school.
Well, at least people know I'm not "pretending" around here..........LOL.
I know, it undermines REAL discrimination. It seems they were handle appropriately with the offer of the free meal and the apology.
Heck, my waitress was black and my wait was about that long as well. Do you think I was discriminated against? She was busy and I also had to hunt her down to get my check, because I had to get back to work, but I tipped her well. She was pleasant and I enjoyed my food.
*Rolling my eyes*
It's GOOD for children.
Heck, we got off the bus at the store!
Thank goodness. Enough of that nonsense IRL.
Have a good night :)
People just need to slow down. We have to hurry enough as it is. Enjoy meals. Play the peg games. Shop or browse the store. Talk to each other. :')
Cracker Barrel restaurants are in the upper midwest as well. I know of a couple in the Twin Cities in Minnesota and I think I saw one in South Dakota.
I've never dined there, however.
I guess most of us aren't raised to LOOK for anything that might be construed (and sued) as discrimination.
Oh, did I forget to mention that? Must have slipped my mind...
Darn right. One of the worst things we ever did IMO was tell kids they don't have to work anymore and hand them a video game and tell them to go play. The oldest, (8 or 9) was running the register and making change. The youngest waited tables. The girls had to assure SS that they wanted too do this.
Or I-40 at Charlotte Pike.
I was wrapped in cold-water towels for a couple days after going to Cracker Barrel in '69 or '70. "Comfortably Numb" comes to mind... when I was a child, I had a fever, etc.
However, I do go to Cracker Barrel as an adult, and I like it just fine.
Your kidding?
Isn't that the case in most "family" owned places.
