Won’t change my opinion of IHOP (ICrawl?). The ones in my area are nasty.
ISlither?
This is in Alaska. Wasilla is Sarah Palin’s hometown.
For further reference:
AR - Arkansas
AK - Alaska
AZ - Arizona
Pedantry.
FWIW, I sometimes think “AK” is Arkansas too.
It’s Alaska. “AR” is Arkansas.
“employee” == “son of owner who is an assistant manager because having a job will improve matters at DUI trial”
Nobody wants to work anymore
This is why they come to you for pancake breakfast. You built your whole business model around that.
I really think in a lot of situations businesses are using the excuse of no employees to explain away their poor business practice or their poor service that existed long before the pandemic.
And they are telling employees that the democrats are to blame for the way they are “forced” to treat their employees.
It appears that most employees are hip to that bs but there are plenty that eat it up and get angry at Biden instead of their employer.
A local Walmart closed over the weekend due to covid but it wasn’t exactly clear what the real story was, that did not keep our local Facebook page from getting angry at Biden because it was his mandate that closed the store. When asked what mandate the response, as always, “do your own research”.
When my wife asks what I want for dinner I usually say I don’t care but tonight I’m asking for pancakes or at least frozen waffles.
IHOP doesn’t even offer real maple syrup*. This is all you need to know to judge their character.
*except in VT, because it’s considered a capital offense there.
“Blame?” Shouldn’t it be Credit? as In Joe Biden empowered workers to be able to walk away from unfair labor situations?
Lotta that goin’ around.

If possible, I try to go to locally owned places, diners if I want breakfast out. Certainly not a guarantee it’s not run or owned by pinheads, but if so, at least it’s a locally sourced pinhead you’re supporting. Also, plenty of immigrants work two jobs, if these jobs are so valuable and easy to do, then local Real Amuricans should just step up and grab a few shifts.
If Biden is sparking a renewed interest in living wages and organized labor then WOO-HOO!!! GO BIDEN!!!
Pro Publica has a search engine if you’d like to check whether any other Scooby-Doo villains have taken government handouts before complaining about government handouts.
I’m a horrible person for the amount of smugness I’m getting looking up my Trumpista “no government handouts” neighbors who took PPP loans and wrote them off. Especially the ones who kept their businesses open and even increased business during the pandemic. In one case a woman said “that’s how I renovated my kitchen.”
