Why is it that whenever I hear a call to boycott some restaurant
chain, I already am boycotting the chain simply because the food
there is lousy? A friend of mine lives near a Ruby Tuesday. She
likes to eat there so I do on rare occasion. In the five or six
times I have eaten at Ruby Tuesdays, I have been disappointed in
the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
