Warning

Walking up to a local restaurant on Thursday night with some friends for a late night (okay so about 9pm) bite with friends I noticed a rather strange warning sign:

$50,000 Reward for any information regarding armed robberies of this restaurant!

Wow.

What a sign! It was posted on the newly popular Carry-Out (or Curb-Side) door right by designated spots where anxious take-out-ers can wait in their cars a la fast food drive thru and receive their goodies from the higher-end chain restaurant where they have placed a call-ahead order. I thought it was an odd sign to have in the first place. I mean, how often does this particular chain restaurant get robbed? By armored robbers no less?! Slightly disturbing if I do say so myself. Thankfully, the four of us had a delightful meal and were not robbed in the process, although we did have a particularly grumpy waiter, but at the end of the day, who isn't just a little bit grumpy? (Especially if you take into account the anticipation of armed robbery this waiter must face with fear each day as he comes to work and is reminded about the dangers of his chosen life of service. I don't blame him at all.)

The restaurant: Chili's...
