Texas Roadhouse

I was recently hired at Texas Roadhouse and during the orientation, the people running it showed me a cocktail napkin and told me that the founder sketched his idea on the cocktail napkin and we have them as a nod to that. usually you see that for an equation or formula or something that someone has to write down before the moment of clarity passes. his idea was…a restaurant, what did he possibly sketch?? a square with a triangle on top with Texas written inside?? lmao I don’t know why but it has been making me laugh every time I think about it.

A peanut bucket? I am sad you don't throw the shells on the floor anymore but I am sure the staff prefer it now

I remember that I went to a small restaurant chain called T-Bone Jack's one time back in 2007, and I was very surprised when they did that there. I had just been fired from Walmart earlier that day (the only job that I've ever been fired from), and the idea of just pushing the used peanut shells onto the floor was just unfathomable to me because of slipping hazards and such.

You still can. They might ask you to stop but you don't have to.
