I'd be surprised to see the bottom line move up or down over this.

It won't change a thing. But you know that certain people love to go the "I'm going to eat there more than ever" route when situations like this popup.

In other news, the entire Walk-ons kitchen staff just quit.
It was a black-out?

Those folks usually say that but never follow through because they're too damn poor to actually go more than once every two months

It's just people searching for social media clout.

Brandon would have been better off posting this rant on the OT or Poli board. That way he wouldn't have had to issue a fake apology.

On a different note, Brandon (I know you are likely lurking this thread) why did Walkon's get rid of the croissant chicken sandwich? That was pretty much the only good thing y'all had on the menu besides the waffle fries skillet.

I have a problem with him lumping in an entire race for 1 the actions of three or four and 2 the actions of teenagers.

Watched my gf's kid do the same thing, white af. On the 3rd handful I slapped his hand and then turned on my phone flashlight and found candy he preferred more... and made his punk arse keep moving with his greedy amount of lesser candy. I grabbed a box of nerds for my troubles

A lot of posters have no idea who this guy is or just how involved in Walk On's he is.
The guy owns multiple franchise locations with many more to come (or maybe after today, no more to come, depending on what Brandon Landry decides to do with all of this).

I saw in the Advocate article that he owns a dozen restaurants between HTX & Louisiana. If thats the case he's a fricking moron for going on an FB rant over some Halloween candy.

Sorry, but he's OT poor if he has to leave his candy bowl on the porch instead of having his butler pass out candy

This mentality is how it all starts… Immaturity?? Nah…. Why didn’t any of the other kids do this??? It’s not a kid thing, it’s a culture thing… Same culture that lands their 8x10 picture on front of Auntie’s airbrushed t-shirt while Auntie falls all over herself at the funeral claiming what a perfect person they were their entire life. Lack of character – the cancer of this planet,” the post said.

I don’t have Facebook or anything linking back to me except twitter and I keep it positive and sports for this very reason. Was he wrong in what he said? No! As a owner of a company was it smart? No. Would I know his name if he didn’t have Facebook and posted the video? No. But now its out there and I’m sure he will pay a heavy price.

If those kids were the first ones there, no one had the chance to do the right thing.

Leaving a bowl of candy out has got to be the dumbest idea on halloween.

Lady in my neighborhood posted a video of kids (white) stealing hers and posting she better get her copper bowl back. What kind of dumbass puts candy out in a copper bowl?
