You're deflecting from my point. Not discussing the business aspect, just by definition if true it could be deemed racist.

This is not uncommon. A very busy restaurant in Bossier City closes for two weeks starting at the first of July every year. They do all there big remodel and clean up at the same time they are allowing the servers time off. All the employees know when they get vacation.

How was it? Went to BR location once and wasn't impressed. I've been tempted to give the one at Juban a try

Everyone that I knew who worked service industry in the quarter said Essence was not that bad but the real shite show is Bayou Classic.

And you are deflecting the counterpoint.

My discussion had nothing to do with any counterpoint. I don't run the business, that's on them.

Fine. I think that was the point of the Instagram post, that it's racist and they will go elsewhere. What is the argument with that?

There is no argument. It's not racist to close your business for any reason. If my business is not profitable during a certain time and I choose to close it at that time, then I'm closing because it's not profitable.

NBA finals are over, and football hasn't started yet. That's you're window to do this if you have a sports bar
