IHOP are trump lovers??

[Roland99]

Just got to an IHOP to meet a family friend for bfast. The tablet used to add people to a waitlist had a big wallpaper image of trump in his stupid blue suit with hands in fists of celebration

Walking over to Applebees next door

1. I've never seen any politics at IHOP...

you should call the manager and have them look into that. Most businesses are smart enough to avoid politics, especially the big chains.

[Lochloosa]

6. Don't call the Manager they put it up.

Call the Corporate headquarters. They will stop that shit.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Perhaps, but I'd start at the local level and work my way up...

It might have been one of the service staff that affixed the offending label.

16. Who is the franchise owner?

Chances are they own several IHOP franchises among other restaurants.

I can't believe these isn't internal complaints. Employees have a little more leverage than in the past.

[Ms. Toad]

17. I believe three op was talking about what was showing on the screen of the tablet

Not the walls is the restaurant.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. pretty sure they are franchised. Maybe the franchisee is a Dumper?

[Beakybird]

4. I'm sure the main company would want to know if a franchisee is tarnishing the brand.

[paleotn]

9. Probably.

[magicarpet]

3. TRump makes a showing at breakfast ..... ?

18. Channeling Pelosi, "I don't think we should talk about him when we're eating"

[Ms. Toad]

5. Applebee's is owned by the same company.

So you went from the frying pan to the frying pan.

Some ihops are franchised - so this might have been one of them. If so, you might want to ask Dine Brands if their franchisees are allowed to engage in politics.

15. Well. Wasn't gonna research on the fly.

But good to know now

[Cyrano]

7. To quote Nancy Pelosi:

"Please don't say that name while we're eating."

[paleotn]

10. Vote with your feet....

I don't do business with magats. Period. I don't do business with those who are or have sported Trump paraphernalia (very long memory) or those that use their religion as advertising.

11. IHOP sux anyway

Their pancakes aren’t very good. I stick with local businesses

[multigraincracker]

12. I can make my own breakfast

for less than $2.

[Hekate]

19. Naturally, and do your own kitchen clean-up afterwards, cause your labor is cheap...

Probably not the point.

I don’t care for their menu, but my late MIL adored it because everything was sweet and soft. I was fine with that because I didn’t have to cook or clean up, so it was a treat for both of us.

This was long before Trump reared his ugly head in national politics, of course..

13. corporate mention time and location

and mentioned you posted on a rather major dem message board and it must be nice to be able to take a customer hit like this nation wide

[Blue Owl]

14. Don't order the Rudy Tootie Squish and Duty

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Can't Anybody Do Their Own Wallpaper?

I don't rule out it was the host who put it there.
Could Be anyone that works there.
Not that I'd like it either.
I think it foolish for any retail business to trumpet their politics.
