4. Darden the parent of Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Capitol Grille, Bahama Breeze, et al

has conceded that they will stop the practice, however I'm still boycotting them due to a sick pay referendum that was supposed to be on this november's ballot that they quashed with our "esteemed" Orange County commision, along with Disney. I'm disgusted that citizens would do what they were supposed to, get 50k signatures to put it on the ballot and these greedy corporations along with Theresa Jacobs and her cohorts used themselves to subvert the will of the people.

So I don't really frequent darden restaurants or hardees or sheraton, but I do let everyone I know why they shouldn't.

Thanks
