The owner of this place must have an IQ south of potato.

People are retarded. It astounds me when a business does things like this. This is on par with that awful N-Control Avenger disaster. Just people who are completely unsociable.

Not only will be the day Boners goes out of business be a good one for that area, but tip required nazis are the worst.

Especially fat ones who complain about food. It's like, "Look at you! You didn't get that way by being discriminating about what you eat, so shut up, stuff your face and like it! Bitch."

In fact, with the FB replies they had to this complaint, I'm kind of disappointed that wasn't used. Weak-ass bastards...

Did I read it right that she tipped on the total post coupon? That's kind of bad form, but no reason for the place to lose their minds like they did.

EDIT: Nevermind, 8 dollars would be a good tip. Math was never my strong suit :)

This one is also brilliant. Especially since its not some po-dunk BBQ owner, but a supposed "PR professional", who might be the least professional person I've ever seen.

I am working in the PR business and getting a Master's in the field, and this stuff is nothing but hilarious.

Did you see what their new PR guy did?

"I can't worry about the fact that there isn't a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo under" said," Moisés Chiulian, the Austin, Texas-based consultant now retained by N-Control to oversee its sales and marketing. "The Internet did that for me. I think they set him on fire, too."

And gave all the preorders the $10 discount. Sounds like he actually knows what he's doing.

Yep, that is the route to take. Good for them for hiring someone with a clue.

I want to know how Christoforo got hired in the first place.

In the internet age, one guy may be small potatoes to your bottom line, but when the emails you sent said guy get out, your ass is grass.
