I knew that Ryan's birthday was coming up, and wanted to plan dinner for his birthday. One of the three choices was The Rainforest Cafe, Dave & Busters or The Ruggles Grill. We had previously mentioned the Rainforest Cafe to our friends, but we hadn't told them of Ruggles as an option. When it came down to having dinner at Dave & Busters or Ruggles, we decided on the latter.
So you can imagine my surprise when I came across this article on Facebook this morning. The Ruggles Waitstaff Stages Walk-Out, Alleging Non-Payment of Tips. What a Hot Mess!
According to the article,
"This past Saturday night at Ruggles was a busy one. There were nearly 200 customers packing the restaurant at Westheimer and Montrose, with a skeleton crew of only five waiters out of a normal 10-man crew. And at 7 p.m., all five of those waiters -- as well as Ruggles's general manager -- walked out, closing the restaurant behind them."
Lucky for us, we planned dinner for Sunday, because we couldn't make dinner on Saturday. And two, Dave & Busters ended up being the best choice. We had a great time, and played some arcade games afterwards."We told the customers there was a gas leak," said Jeremiah Villarreal, 28, a University of Houston sports medicine student who had been a waiter at Ruggles since June.
The article has since been udpated, with the owner/chef, admitting that he owes "about $14,000 to $15,000 to catch everybody up."Source: Ruggles Grill
