Hull Street is good

I don’t quite get Ruby Tuesdays myself.... Only been there a few times.. none close by and nothing to distinguish them from any of the other casual dining chains....

But one time we were at the beach and stopped in still in our suits on our way back to our house, and I honestly thought they were going to refuse to sit us.... As though they were a suit and tie restaurant.... They did seat us, way in the back of a mostly empty restaurant... So clearly they have to have some sort of policy at the corporate level or something.. .it was just odd.

Politically, NC became unreliable since the retirement of Senator Helms.

North Carolina is FULL of Northeast transplants.

They're called 'halfbacks'.

First they move to Florida, but it gets too hot for them.

Then they move halfway back and end up in North Carolina.

Ruby Tuesday is now dead to me.

We’ve gone to both places but Hull street is often hard to get into until late(popular place). It would be interesting to here your story via mail. I thought I had detected something of an attitude of pomposity at times. The crowd make up at the TGI Fridays at midlo turnpike is different I’ve noticed at different times so I wonder if your treatment would have been different at lunch time vs 10pm on a Friday or Saturday night.(Service was also slow for us one Saturday night but the stuff some of the ladies were wearing was very gaudy and their cologne very drenchingly odorous as they came in to do their Saturday night “strut stuff”’ and just how they managed to squeeze such big bodies into such skinny jeans might just have attracted the interest of Houdini!)

Our small town has a Ruby Tuesday that we patronized because it was one of the only sit-down restaurants in town. It was recently built and we thought the food was pretty good. However, when the Ruby Tuesday chain dumped their sponsorship of Laura Ingraham over her minor comment about David Hogg, we stopped going there and sent them an email telling them why.

Sigh, a sign of the times. Be lucky that you do not get served in such places because they will defile your food!

Myself and my two kids stopped at a Denny’s in Santa Fe about 25 odd years ago. During the meal, I was engaged in a lively debate with one of the local uber Liberals sitting in the booth next to me.

The discussion was a little loud but respectful...…….meaning nobody got mad and there was no name calling.

Afer returning to our hotel, my two kids and I all got real sick in the middle of the night.

I remember catching an eye roll or two from a couple of the waiters.

This was in the days before Twitter. I’ve not gone back to a Denny’s anywhere in the intervening 25 years.

So, what you say about not wearing a Trump shirt in a restaurant is absolutely spot on. I KNOW !!!

I never wear anything political when going out to eat. My daughter worked at Red Lobster and that place was full of fruits and nuts even here in the Midwest.

“Very sad” — Perfect! Love the way he used President Trump’s favorite phrase!

Word to the wise, never get political when other people are handling your food. I don’t care if you are patriotic, communist, or libritarian - never inspire any reason for someone preparing or handling your food to mess with it. Also, never be rude because “the customer is always right” will not keep spit out of your food.

They should be grateful. Most of the time I’m sure the employees just spit in the food (or worse).

Maybe they’ll get rid of that disgusting “woman in red” commercial!

It is a good thing they avoided getting splinters in their mouths from their pallets.

Palate vs. palette vs. pallet - I always have to look it up.

Ruby Tuesday HQ should have been on top of this immediately. They’re lack of action will lose them money. This man should sue. If little locally owned bakeries can be sued, so can chain restaurants.

And, you didn’t mention the “halfway backs” who moved to Florida, weren’t happy, and now wish to make NC the NE they left!

The restaurants are now up between a rock and a hard place. Since the left’s history of violent behavior is becoming more widely known, they may fear that the shirt (the trigger) might set off some progressive who will attack and give the restaurant a situation the management would rather avoid.

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Didn’t even know about the “halfbacks”, but thanks for the info.

When someone moves from NY or NJ they are ALWAYS from those places.

No matter where they live. They always introduce themselves “Hi, I’m __________ and I’m from Brooklyn.”

Even if they were born there and moved before their first birthday.
