Twin Peaks revokes Waco restaurant's franchise following deadly shootout

[erpowers]

The Twin Peaks company has revoked the franchise agreement for its restaurant in Waco, Texas, the scene of a biker shootout that killed nine people this weekend.

The company laid the blame on the managers of the Waco franchise who "chose to ignore the warnings and advice from both the police and our company, and did not uphold the high security standards we have in place to ensure everyone is safe at our restaurants."

1. Long overdue. The place was drawing flies well before now

2. I think at this point having their franchise canceled

is probably the least of their worries. Nobody in their right mind would patronize this trash dump ever again and I would imagine there will be lawsuits and lawsuits and lawsuits. I, for one, do not wish them well although I feel sorry for their employees who are now without jobs.

3. The whole chain should go out of business.

They make money off of the exploitation of women and the promotion of rape culture.

4. wonder if stock in that chain is publically traded

if the chain can survive this they will have an endless career on the talk show circuit telling folks how

gonna take more than coupons...

5. Finally won't mean much down the line once the legal issues are settled.

6. Breastaurants are a plague, IMO.

I don't go to them. I visit restaurants to eat, not to leer.

7. +100

A restaurant should success on the basis of good food, cleanliness, and polite efficient service. I resent the sexploitation dining market.
