And not just them. He has issues with everyone. The first [url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid#hrid:1-PFLcNSqBJQUs4azCSaIQ]review[/url] on Yelp put it like this:[quote]Appalling, bigoted, discriminatory behavior is regularly displayed at this establishment. The owner, Gary James, refuses to serve wheelchair bound persons, black people, Hispanics, mixed race couples, gay people, people who wear hats, people who ask for Budweiser, liberals, men with longish hair, people wearing clothes he doesn't approve of, people with facial piercings, on and on, ad nauseum. If you pass first inspection, don't think you've got it made - if he doesn't approve of an overheard conversation, if he decides you are too effeminate, if your politics don't agree with his, if you don't like the way your steak is cooked, if you cheer for the wrong team, etc etc, Mr. James will charge you more for your meal.[/quote]
[url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid?sort_by=rating_desc]Some of these "reviews" though... LOL[/url]. It's sad to think [url=http://www.yelp.com/biz/chicaro-club-enid#hrid:-E52y-RYzFqXZ8jd6LmeBQ]this one[/url] might actually be from someone who thinks that way.

I don't agree with that guy's mindset at all, but I agree with his right to do business how he wants. He'll just never succeed and that's the great thing about how capitalism works; the strong ideas/practices survive and the weak ones die off. And those reviews all only sprung up after the media caught hold of this guy's restaurant. I doubt this guy was doing we at all beforehand.[/quote] I love how people get so pissy at stuff like this. It's his private business. If you don't support him or his ideology, don't eat their. He is serving you, he is his own boss. He should be able to say who can and can't eat their or who he wants to, or doesn't want to serve. However stupid that may be. There is a reason people have choices where to eat, no one is forcing you to go to his idiotic place. He has also been in business a very long time. If people actually cared, they wouldn't eat their.
