If that was written by an actual Whataburger customer service person, then I'd imagine they'll be looking for a new job real soon. The bit about IQ even more so...
Still a funny image, though. Open carry activists are counterproductive tools.

(17,086 posts)I went to their FB page and didn't see it, but there were a couple of 2A fetishists posting there to complain about it.
I can't imagine a real CS person would have posted that. But I've been surprised before, so who knows?
RiverLover
(7,830 posts)Wow.
Its what they would say if they could. It humorously highlights the idiocy of comparing gay rights to open carry people's rights.

they troll FB pages of large corporations and offer 'helpful advice' to knobs with petty problems. Usually they are spot on, as in the example above, but they are not associated with Whataburger or any of the other companies whose page they respond on.
See their screenshots at the facebook link above

Hey, if this is a spoof, and I suspect it is, no matter. I STILL like the point being made!

(34,582 posts)but if Whataburger has an anti-gun policy then I salute them. I have never felt the need to be packing when I get an A-1 Thick and Hearty burger, and I am not sure I want to be around those paranoid enough to think they do.

(23,105 posts)This whole "Open-Carry" thing just baffles me. WTF does society tolerate white men acting like fools and setting themselves up to be murderers for little/no cause? Guns cause death, that's all they are good for. Very few people are saved by people with guns. The so-called "good guys with guns" just create additional collateral damage. SCOTUS totally got this one wrong with their turning the 2nd amendment backwards and ignoring the plain language of militas. Scallia is all about perfect wording, until he doesn't give a shit due to political ramifications, the turd.
jtuck004
(15,882 posts)that suggestion "Dress up like Charles Bronson, find a shooting range and cook your own food" is perhaps the best advice I've seen given to any of them.

(12,629 posts)SCantiGOP
(13,871 posts)Since SC has open carry they allow it in their stores. I wrote them and said I was not going to go into a store where I might encounter someone with an automatic rifle over their shoulder. Their canned response was that they were just following the lead of the state legislature.
Remember a Jon Stewart segment from a while back: what happens when Open Carry encounters Stand Your Ground? That is exactly what could happen and I don't want to be walking in a grocery store when a shootout starts on the next aisle.

(1,587 posts)We tended to eat out at places we didn't have back home, like Jack-in-the-Box, Whataburger and Taco Bell. The best times though, were going to Casa Molina.
I'm not afraid of the gay guy who might be sitting next to me getting mad about something and pulling his dick out. I don't think he'd kill me. The right-wing freak on the other side, though? That scares me.

Even as a gun owner, who never carries in public, I can find the humor and or sarcasm in posts like these.

Ghost in the Machine
(14,912 posts)stuff? It says it can strip grease from concrete. It also advises to use "one drop at a time to flavor your food". Now, I can eat some pretty hot stuff and I had made a 20QT stockpot full of red beans and rice one night. I made me a good sized bowl, and added 3 drops to it and it was so hot that I couldn't even eat it. I dumped the whole bowl back into the 20QT pot, stirred it up, and it was still spicy, but edible.
Peace,
Ghost

(14,912 posts)laughed so hard I almost peed myself. I could NOT STAND the little maggot, but I tolerated him as it was her "first love", and I figured that if I tried to stop her from seeing him that it would only drive her to him more. I used to call him Dildo, because he was a phony little prick. Being a single father is hard with a daughter, I knew what to do with my son, but girls need a mother figure or woman to talk to. Luckily, my parents and younger sister live just a few houses from me.
Anyways. we were eating some pizza one night and my son and I had a pretty good sized glob of the Dave's Insanity poured out inside the pizza box, and we were seeing who could eat more of it. Dildo walked in, grabbed a slice of pizza, and dragged it through the hot sauce, thinking it was marinara sauce. We didn't tell him any different. When he took his first bite, you could see his face start turning red, then he broke out sweating... then screamed like nothing I have ever heard before... or since! We found him out in the front yard with the water hose stuck in his mouth as he was scraping his tongue with the edge of a spoon. Again, I damned near pissed myself laughing. He was always careful about what he ate after that.
He wouldn't go out on my boat with me either because I told him one night that I was going to take him for a boat ride, wrap him in a 25' logging chain, then toss him overboard in one of the sections of the lake that was over 300 feet deep. Then I was going to take my boat back to the trailer, go to the opposite end of the County, put into the Tennessee River there, then call the cops and say that he had been abducted from the boat by a UFO! I told him they would never find him, because they would be looking at the wrong end of the County!
He actually thought I was serious!
Peace,
Ghost
