… has to be American Chili’s. They serve the best Guinness u can ever dream of, but the policies are dumb, n d managers are normally escaped chimpanzees.
I know quite a few people who’ve had arguments with the managers at all Chili’s outlets - usually over stupid shit. Me included. Will get to that later.
