re: Restaurants on your personal 'blacklist'.

I have a couple of not food service related blacklisted restaurants.

1) J. Alexanders on Bluebonnet - for the plethora of "J. Alexander's Parking Only" signs due to people parking there and going to Pluckers. Inconveniencing me when I try to visit one establishment is only going to make me never want to visit yours.

As a matter of principal I'd much rather see a business try to win. Take all those cars in your parking lot for Monday night football (slow night at a traditional restaurant, good night at a more bar-themed restaurant) and slide $2 off any appetizer coupons under their windshield wiper. Do something to try to make money instead of whining and calling tow trucks on people who have disposable income and live in your community.

Going one layer deeper, Pluckers has NFL Sunday Ticket and is one of the few places that do in town. Many people with disposable income who move here from other states (Who did not grow up near a J. Alexanders) will find their way to Pluckers after they grow tired of BWW down the road (that's how I found it). Instead of trying to get these people in your door, the first thing you do is try to inconvenience them?

2) Any Quiznos - those commercials from the mid-2000's that starred what looked like rats with gingivitis were just not appealing. Whoever green-lit that doesn't need my money.
