I worked as an executive for the worst bbq restaurant company in the world…rhymes with Hickies…I didn’t have a contract but after 6 months they wanted me to sign a non-compete…I did some research and signed it handed it to my boss and laughed in his face how utterly useless that thing was…they gave the same document to everyone in the corporate office to sign…Laughable

Funny story. I was sitting in a bar lounge at this super nice Hilton in downtown OKC.

Got into a discussion with a lot of different people, and the subject of BBQ came up. Everyone was naming their favorite. This guy says Dickies (not sure why you pussed out on naming it) and I responded that Dickie's is the worst BBQ that I ever had. I said, "it tastes like high school cafeteria BBQ".

About 10 minutes later, we were all getting liquored up and started talking about what we do professionally. This guy says, "my family owns Dickie's BBQ".
