Not defending him, I am lacking all the information and want to understand the complaint. What was the correct course of action? What is he meant to do if the government shuts down his restaurants and has given workers special unemployment benefits due to the planetary crisis?

I mean the CEO of Texas Roadhouse is getting good publicity here, despite almost certainly also being a piece of poo poo. And running Texas Roadhouse.

Tilman Ferttita of Landry's Corp furloughed 40,000 people from his 600 units this week. His net worth is approx. 4 billion. I have no idea if he's trying to offer them any additional compensation (it wasn't mentioned), but holy poo poo.

Good luck! I hate smears because it makes a nasty noise when you try to scrape them off with your fork/spoon.

Just LOL if you actually eat the sauce like some hungry pleb. You're supposed to just look at it, take pictures for your instagram followers, then complain that it's wrong and ask for it to be comped.

'I have a severe allergy to oil-based liquids, so I asked to forgo the sauce. Veal was dry. Manager refused to discount the food AND drinks. 2 stars. Might return if the server is fired and I am offered a discount.'

With more restaurants around us closed, some of our customers are getting an edge of desperation. I wonder how much is because people don't know how to cook and this food we're selling them is their one big meal of the day. E: I can't help but wonder if we should close when I hear people are driving 30-40 minutes out of their way to order from us. Sextro fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Mar 29, 2020 |

I think ignorance is part of it but some people just find cooking really stressful. I can also imagine that takeout is a comforting luxury for some. Not that you shouldn’t close if you think it’s the right thing to do, mind you.

There are a lot of otherwise functional 'adults' who just never learned how. Just like mending, or basic cleaning.

Not my decision, but we've a certain amount of fame despite being a new shop so we're still getting people driving in from other counties/the suburbs because "I saw it on instagram and had to try some" even in the middle of a stay-in-place order. Which is dumb and it feels weird to be the reason people break quarantine so badly

A few restaurants around town are starting to sell prepared or cook at home foods, condiments and basic ingredients on top of supporting a to-go menu - I think it’s a neat idea for bringing in extra income/redistributing food since groceries are still getting slammed here

So my boss is trying to figure out how to keep as many people on payroll as he can while still having us claim few enough hours that we can collect unemployment. There was a weird plotting session about it trying to figure out how we were going to work tip claiming and whether it might be best to have the (possibly illegal) waitress claim them all (since she won't be going for unemployment?) and have everyone tip her out to cover the tax hit. Might work?

The bill that just went through has a tax credit incentive for keeping staff on equal to 50% their salary, may want to look into that.

mandatory lesbian posted:How good is whoever controls finances at cooking the books? Either very good or very bad. The IRS apparently decided a few years ago that we were hiding cash because we use hand written tickets. That investigation led nowhere, and they've been kicking the can down the road trying to wear him down with legal fees for.........4-5 years now? They don't really have a case but its just getting so expensive in addition to the 4-5 hour drive to the state capital for court that he's thinking about just settling. Fun story about that, the checks we use for tickets are the perfect weight of paper for making origami frogs, which if someone brings in a kid I'll often make for them. So one of the lines of accusation involved us not having every single ticket in sequential order (thus we must be hiding checks) and the origami frogs were brought up and I had to make one for his accountant to show the auditor who in turn wanted to keep it, and the accountant refused purely out of spite. It now lives on his desk.
