You are correct. Although I don't operate a restaurant or cook anymore, the spineless, mind atrophied, smoke nazis now enjoy the delights of Denney's and their ilk.
The truth, they need to get a life. By doing this, they would have no time or desire to meddle in mine. I feel these poor slobs attitude is a direct result of their mindless, do nothing jobs. I say again, get a life, get a real job.
Oh wow! They GOT a job: banning, restricting and controlling smokers!
And since they are SO well funded by the Tobacco Settlement money, they are laughing all the way to the bank.
And smokers who pay taxes on cigarettes are PAYING for this abuse. ugh!
But people like you, who have made a lifetime pursuit out of being a proud, independent restauranteur/saloonkeeper are like so much dirt under their nails.
I salute you, sir and fart in their general direction.
