Just think all you will be missing is people you don't know sneezing over the food you eat as the prepare it, their hair dropping into the chicken batter, unwashed hands (forgetting to put their latex gloves on) touch everything you eat.

Let these restaurants go out of business.

Jesus is doing this for you.

I think most moved to Old Country Buffet.

As for me and MY house, we will continue to keep the Olive Garden in business!

Personally, if I were in the restaurant business, I would only build near established Pentecostal churches.

Sister Sherri, Sister Benincasa does not like eat like the rest of Pentecost.

Everything is health food in our home. When we have pastors take us out my wife and children eat salads, and steam vegetables.

I have Brothers and Sisters who work at restaurants and tell us horror stories that would make a strong man blow his lunch. I have a story about Chilies that would make anyone hurl.

In 1979 when I was dating my wife our date to Steak & Ale was the most expensive meal we had ever eaten at that time! It was first class fare for middle class folks at the time.

I saw one in Memphis last week when I was there on business. I didn't know any were still around.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Old County Buffet moved out when Golden Corral moved in nearby.

I call them both "the geriatric feeding trough."

Our seniors group at church meets once a month and normally goes to the geriatric feeding trough afterward. I go with them and I eat there.

But that wouldn't affect me as owner. TIC. Actually I do hate the fact that we are not the best received in restaurants.
