tgi fridays and chain-restaurants

sheeple, sheeple, pleeeeze!...do not frequent these places. They are all weak. If you have no regard for yourselves or your colons, think of all the struggling local small island restaurants that cannot afford the co-op ad buys and radio tie-ins and color sunday newspaper circulars and billboards and tv comercials that all cost bookoo thousands. Weather you realize it or not, like good Stepford Islanders, that's the reason you go. AD dollar$ = asses in seats. Period.

Listen...there are documented cases nationwide where small restaurants have been forced to close when the "chain-restaurants" come to town...You're helping that happen here by simply patronizing these establishments! I wouldn't be surprised to learn that over 1000 new restaurant seats apppeared on SI in the last year alone. Think-many of the local places have been here years for a reason. The food is better-the prices are roughly the same-and you don't have to wait a half hour to be seated, & most of the time the owner is your neighbor! where to eat here? see my april threads...(& Bridget's Burgers are quite good!)
