Things have gotten a bit out of hand lately in Indianapolis. In the past two weeks we’ve had Binkley’s in Broad Ripple robbed with customers in the bar (who were also robbed) and an early morning attempted robbery of Panera on 82nd that left one worker with a gun shot wound. Over the weekend, Papa Roux found itself the recent target. The owner said customers were in the building when the robbery happened, but the robbery happened discreetly and without incident. That said, he did not appreciate the threat against his business or his employees and took to Facebook with the following offer…
ALL CUSTOMERS: UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, YOUR CONCEALED CARRY LICENSE (sic) EARNS YOU 25% OFF YOUR MEAL WHEN YOU DINE IN.
And before anybody starts in with The Roux becoming the “OK Corral”… No I’m not advocating it. But hell, if thugs are going to come in and threaten OUR extended family with guns, you’d better believe I will use every trick I know to protect them. Protect our family, I mean. Not the thugs. DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A DEBATE ON GUN CONTROL OR POLITICS. MY RESTAURANT. MY WALL. MY BUSINESS. I can give discounts to whomever I please.
Certainly a great discount! Do you agree with the decision? Will the possibility of gun toting patrons keep thief’s from trying to take advantage of the business?
