Being alerted tonight to fly to Haiti, so Heather and I went out for dinner.
I've probably eaten there 50 times in the last 10 years, always outside of the bar area, and never had a problem. Tonight I was first approached by a manager asking if I had a permit. He left after I said no, and about 5 minutes later returned after speaking with a regional manager. Allegedly Applebee's policy is no weapons allowed other than law enforcement. He then placed a respectful offer that I could continue my meal if I secured the Kimber outside in the truck. I declined, and offered to pay for Heather's food with a box, as I wasn't going to buy my plate. Hit up the Chick-fil-A on the way home, and now it's time for a nap before the fun of disaster relief.
I'm not sure anymore, but I think we even had a downstate OC meeting there once.
Oh well.
