An ice cream places needs a really small foot print... wouldn't be profitable unless rent was pretty much free.

We are talking Goldeyes rent

New owners of Tuxedo Village Family Restaurant have really screwed it up:

They're also being hammered on Yelp, Tripadvisor, etc.

Wow. They’re serving up a menu that’s not very appetizing at all.

Good job SJW's. The place was vandalized last night.

Random question .... I'm debating on getting a Weber charcoal grill.  I've only used my propane bbq and my electric smoker....  do I get a charcoal grill as a 3rd option or are they over rated?  Any thoughts?  

Sorry I missed this earlier. I bought a Weber Performer Deluxe charcoal grill from Luxe about a month ago. Have been using it 3 to 4 times a week. Best burgers and steaks I’ve ever made. Not to mention the crispy wings. The performer has a propane ignition for the coals. Gets you cooking real fast. 
 

I say do it. If you don’t want to spend that much I’d at least get a Master Touch model has some nice accessories included and comes in blue...

Which does no good at all to the credibility of the protest movement.

Had our first dinner out since March 13th last night. Had to be Jonesy’s in Birdshill. Was a great dinner and very good experience.  
(one of these days I’ll figure out how to post pics on this forum. )

I think we're still trying to recover from the last set of Jonesy's pics posted.

But wait...there's more!

I posted a few before that I think sold some folks on going to the place.   It's a good place we've never had bad food in many visits.

I’ll try that from my laptop in the morning. Couldn’t get that option on my iPhone.

I have a under 5 minute commute to work. If I want to add a couple minutes to it, I have a choice of 3 Starbucks I could visit. All without getting out of my truck.

I'm not  sure this isn't just the inevitable rationalizing of stores. Maybe sped up a bit by Covid, but coming anyway.

This is pretty comical... And the vandalism sure looks staged: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/tuxedo-village-restaurant-vanadalized-racist-facebook-post-1.5606711

Seems like Bermax all over again. Only this owner comes across as quite the woke ******.

That was my first thought too, that it was staged or someone trying to make the movement look bad.. What's with the hammer and sickle?

I'll tend to believe them but it was convenient that only the windows were spray painted. Damn lucky.
