You believe that the business should open when neither it nor it's staff can make a profit?

You think they are just closing because of the black boogeymen?

Have you ever waited tables?


We really need government to run restaurants.

Care to say which one and how long ago this was? I worked at a Ruston restaurant from 2005-2008.

Walk-Ons sucks arse. It's a blessing in disguise, black folk.

Restaurants don't allow you to do that anymore because auto-grats are now considering taxable wages by the federal government. Meaning the restaurant has to pay employment taxes on those gratuities.


Um... I have seen an auto-grat twice in the last two weeks when eating with friends... so I think your argument is invalid.

I agree the Government should run restaurants because there is no reason that I should be denied my right to eat at Commanders Palace and forced to eat at Burger King. There is a racial component to pricing of the food that can't be denied

It's usually 6-8 person minimum to be able to use auto grat.

You don't believe closing due to the amount of black people in the area is arguably racist? Come on now



If you were the owner of said restaurant and there was a time of the year when you were going to close, which week would you close if you did have some work that needed to be done?
I'm not kidding, I know many small business owners in Nola and Metairie who close for this week. Most just feel it's a dead period for them and they will get no business. Others just think it's the right time of the year to do it.
There are plenty of restaurants in other parts of the city that will be closed and none of them have any exposure to this crowd.
