I worked at Ruby Tuesday in Biloxi in 2004 for one day. I waited tables, bussed, sat tables, cleaned dishes, and ran the line all in one lunch shift. When I told the manager to frick off, he tried to keep me on with the promise of one day running 2 restaurants like him and making $40k per year.

I know it’s not the same company, but it pretty much is and these guys can all eat shite for being so poorly operated.

Gift cards are the biggest scam ever invented

Turning currency that can be used anywhere to currency that can only be used in one specific place…just because that’s a “better” gift



i wanted to bitch slap my wife when I found out she spent an extra $20 to activate 4 VISA christmas gift cards from walgreens last year

This thread is reminding me to use my Chotskie's gift cards.



I'd say Friday's has certainly learned the hard way that people can get a cheeseburger anywhere.

Such a huge problem. It sounds as if we are in the process of franchises buying our PE ownership out since they have shite the bed so badly

The only gift cards I get are when a store I frequent has a deal for gift cards with my CC points. I usually order them knowing exactly what I'll be using them for.

Another scam I've run into is they set up the cards as a CC card instead of gift card, so it's nearly impossible to spend the full balance. You have to get a manager to split the payment or it will just decline it.
