I am so glad I didn't eat at Ruby Tuesday's tonight!!

My wife wasn't feeling well and needed to eat, so we stopped at a Ruby Tuesday's at the mall.

They weren't on my list of Blue vs Red companies, so normally, I would have insisted we go someplace else, but our options were limited, and as I said, my wife wasn't feeling well, so I wasn't going to be too much of a pain about it.

Instead, I decided not to order anything for myself, and then research it when I got home.

Here is some preliminary and very raw data that I feel comfortable enough with to say that Ruby Tuesdays is an evil, evil, evil little Republican cesspool...

and it will indeed by the last time, I got violently ill. I think it was something that was supposed to be German Potatoe Salad on the buffet. I took one bite and did not take another, but threw up every other hour or so for about 24 hrs later.

Yep. Try to eat at independent restaurants. It helps the Revolution.

:puke: :puke:

Thanks for the reminder, tho. I don't always do my buyblue research before spending money.

sucks to give money to repuke "cesspools"!

I don't shop at walmart..and I try to support independent businesses.

I mostly shop where I work and I know we're blue.

..stuff has all the flavoring of cardboard left in the sun all day...

The food wasn't bad, but the service was horrible. Went in probably about 7:30 at night, and I swear the food didn't come until 9:00.

Haven't been back since....now I know I never will. I guess this explains why they built it next to the fucking Wal Mart.

The Stones should have sued their asses for the trademark infringement. Unfortunately I think that bastard Allen Klein still controls the publishing on their 60's catalog. And you know that the only man on the planet whose main claim to fame is fucking up BOTH the Beatles and the Stones HAS to be a Republican!

The Stones survived Klein, but they still make him richer everytime they sing an old song.

Rather support family-run establishments.
