The argument everyone makes in favor of the restaurant is to build up credibility for the owner/establishment outside of this particular event and minimize every patron as a kid, entitled, and/or drunk.Quote:

Instead of yelling “gtfo” there should have been someone shouting clear instructions on what to do in a non profane manner. “Please exit the building immediately. It is unsafe to be here. The windows are not safe to be around in times of tornadoes. For safety go across the street to the parking garage or seek actual shelter. This building is less safe than being outside.”
Something of that effect would have at least given the notion that you give an ounce of compassion about your customers. Knowing that a place doesn’t care about you as a customer makes it very easy to boycott you.
Did you just equate compassion and a bar???? I'm not sure how you choose your establishments to frequent, but when I was in college - I never heard anyone say let's go to XYZ because they treat me with compassion.... I did hear about drink specials, good food, good bands, etc. - but how the establishment "treated" me was never factored into it. That is unless you knew the bartender and they hooked your tab up so that you didn't pay through the nose, but I highly doubt the owner knew about it....Quote:

It has nothing to do with age, but everything to do with expectations. I don't expect for a restaurant to coddle me. I expect to go in, get good service and food, pay, then leave. If a natural disaster strikes, I don't expect the establishment to wrap me up in bubble wrap and sing lullabies to me until the danger has passed. It is called personal responsibility. I've pasted a passage below that may help you understand that concept, as your replies within this thread have not shown you quite understand that concept.Quote:

The demise of personal responsibility occurs when individuals blame their family, their peers, their economic circumstances, or their society for their own failure to meet standards."
This implies that for me to have personal responsibility that I must adapt to what society has established as those standards. One such standard is to treat people with respect. Another is that if you invite me into your place, you aren't just going to throw me out to the wolves.Quote:

Many people make bad decisions or down play the severity of weather warnings every day. In fact, I would venture to say almost everyone downplays the severity of weather warnings to some degree. Most people have been so many warnings they get desensitized, but when all the sudden you find yourself right down the street from a tornado, everything that's happened before doesn't matter anymore because right now there is a mother f*ck*ng tornado right down the road. I, for one, will do what's necessary for my survival if I find myself in that scenario and if I was working in that bar, I would not force any one to leave. I may strongly suggest it, but I would still treat people like living beings deserving of life.
So the Bin has no responsibility for the safety of their patrons who are drinking at their establishment especially when the Bin potentially has more info on what the weather is doing than their patrons? What a strange way to view the world.Quote:

I mean, I knew that's the way people mostly operate, but it's still weird to see it put out there in writing.
Personal responsibility for everyone but the business owner.Quote:

Other than telling people to get the 17 out, I haven't seen anything they did that would be wrong unless I have missed something.Quote:

After an hour after being kicked out, the tornado then shows up.
And the students who ignored the warnings. good lord dont criticize them.Quote:

They supposedly told patrons that the underground parking garage was where they needed to go if they couldn't make it home.

That's not the timeline that has been publicized. Students are claiming they were being kicked out after the tornado warning was issued. The owner didn't dispute that in his statement. I assume that if they had tried to close down an hour before that and the ones in the video were just the patrons that hung around for an hour that the owner would have pointed that out in his statement but maybe he didn't realize what was being claimed.Quote:

The security contractor should have handled the situation differently, but at the same time - the people within the place should acknowledge that they chose a bad time to go out and have a good time.Quote:
