We’re going to start off by admitting that we just lied to you. Or, really, Jamie Oliver lied to you — to all of us. You see, there’s no cream in this strawberry “ice cream” recipe. There’s no milk or sugar either. So technically, it’s not ice cream a…
It’s summer, the time of year when we as a collective body of caffeine addicts all switch from hot cups to the refreshing crispness of coffee on ice. But it’s so dang expensive (due to the fact that it actually takes more coffee, labor, and time to mak…
Summer is the perfect time to explore, be adventurous, and try something new — and that means outside on the grill, too. If you’ve flipped too many burgers, eaten too much barbecue chicken, and are up to your ears in corn cobs, there are plenty of new…
FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — A Frederick, Maryland, woman says she was served a bag of marijuana with her fast-food order at a Sonic drive-in.
The Frederick News-Post (http://bit.ly/1yTXRXX ) reported Friday that Carla McFarland says she found the little plastic baggie in a container along with the French fries she bought Wednesday in Frederick.
McFarland says she complained to a manager and called police. She says a manager later told her an employee had been fired after saying the bag must have slipped from her apron.
Franchise owner John Louderback confirms that the employee no longer works there.
The Frederick County Sheriff’s Office says it’s investigating the matter.
McFarland isn’t laughing. She says her two young children were in the car, within easy reach of the bag.
Sonic Corp. is based in Oklahoma City.
When you bite into a hamburger or steak, you already know the cost to the cow, but what about the wolves, coyotes, bears and other wildlife that were killed in getting that meat to your plate?
There are a lot of ways that meat production hurts wildlif…
A new restaurant in San Antonio has a policy that’s challenging the status quo and raising some eyebrows in the process. Its servers don’t take home their tips — not a single penny of them.
Oaks Crossing opened its doors last Friday and, with its unique methods of paying employees, became the first restaurant in San Antonio to embrace a no-tips policy while benefiting the greater good, KENS 5 News reported.
Although the restaurant’s manager, Nick George, is “flattered and humbled” that customers are moved to leave a few dollars on their tables before leaving, he’s currently discouraging them from doing so. But when gratuity is given (the restaurant had collected about $600 when KENS 5 News reported the story on Wednesday) the money is donated to a good cause. The first to benefit from Oaks Crossing’s satisfied patrons is the local Parman Branch Library.
A restaurant spokesperson told the news source that instead of relying on tips, servers are compensated with a competitive wage.
“I think they need to put signs out or at least notify you, inform you somehow,” one man told KENS 5 News after dining at Oaks Crossing, noting that customers still tip mostly because they’re in the dark on the rule. Management said they’re still trying to figure out the wording for signs that will inform diners of the policy, as the restaurant just opened recently.
Restaurant chain Waffle House recently drew similar attention for a company-wide tipping policy, but for all the wrong reasons. After a generous diner at one of the restaurant’s locations in North Carolina gave a $1,000 tip to his server on Mother’s Day, Waffle House management gave the tip back to the anonymous do-gooder. According to company policy, large tips charged on a credit card are automatically returned to the customer.
The story had a happy ending, however, when the patron caught wind of the story and returned to the restaurant to write a check for $1,000.
