The one key factor I see in this whole story is that this idiot ‘owner’ (the boss) asked the employees to take a vote, and their vote result is how the ‘owner’ made this decision.
I’m not a business person, but I took enough university classes on the topic, and spent enough time in the military. You need to use your own judgement, and tell people what your expectations are. It’s obvious the ‘owner’ doesn’t care about profits or customers reacting to this....neither to her employees. They think the world will continue to exist for their social warrior operation Red Hen. I’d give her maybe six to eight months at best before they shut down. The headquarters of Red Hen may pull out the contract and dissolve her ownership this week (its a fair possibility that she violated some understanding).
I’m made to understand that it’s a stand-alone, not a franchise and those other Red Hen’s that are catching flak just happened to choose the same name. Have you found out differently?
I’d have cooked their meals myself to be sure my mostly gay staff didn’t spit in their food. Where did she find so many homosexuals in an Appalachian location like that, go looking for them?
Although Sarah and husband departed for home after the Red Hen round 1, the remainder of her party proceeded to a second restaurant. Stephanie Wilkinson followed them and proceeded to rabble-rouse at that location.
