DOES ANYBODY RECOGNIZE THIS OUTSTANDING HUMAN BEING?

This man walked into our restaurant today, threw a fit because there were no bar seats available, and on his way out — intentionally hit our host with the door and knocked over the ice sculpture we purchased for Fire & Ice.

But it gets worse.

As he stormed out, he looked back and said: “I hate dogs. I’m glad I killed that one.”

For reference, our ice sculpture was of a dachshund.

Let that sink in.

This is the kind of person who assaults our staff, destroys our property, and brags about killing animals — all because he couldn’t get a bar seat.

We take care of our people. We take care of our community. And we don’t take kindly to someone putting their hands on our team or threatening animals in our presence.

We are offering a REWARD to anyone who can identify this individual. If you know who he is, send us a private message immediately.

If this post finds its way to you, sir — you are NOT welcome back. Ever. At any of our establishments.

Share this post. Let’s find out who he is.

I think I’m ready. How about you? The real struggle for me is not eating my snacks now.

(Thanks in advance to all the linemen, emergency responders, nurses etc that still have to work in this mess)
