If he wanted his employees to wear muslim burka’s and quote the Koran the ACLU would be all over them for refusing him a franchise
As it stands, they are correct- it is THEIR name he wants to use, but he does not want to follow all their rules
I hope he starts his own franchise and makes a million, though
I bet if he hired a server and they refused to serve pork bar-b-que because of their muslim belief the ACLU would sue to keep their job!
I wish I was in Georgia now, but I be torn between getting some good bar-b-que or fried catfish, damn I miss the south!
When A&W came through and started making drastic changes -- including the elimination of the drive-up stands -- the franchise owner went independent and renamed it "Rudy's." Their root beer is better than A&W's remix, their food is terrific and their prices are awesome. It's the only place that makes me crave a coney dog.
They're only open during the summer and they're always packed. Good food, good service and reasonable prices make for loyal customers.
I hope this former "Sonny's" franchise turns out just as well.
I agree, A francise comes with running things the way corporate wants not marching to your own drummer. Follow their rules or forfiet your francise.
I agree with you in both instances. It's always interesting to see how many people are willing to grant someone special rights or protected class status as long as the grantee is of ideological similarity.
And, yeah, if Bill Davis wants to start his own family values restaurant with employees wearing prayer t-shirts, I'll make a reservation whenever I'm in his town.
