I know I can be a B***h, but please explain this one to me....

Why does it matter to anyone, if you dont like it look the other way...problem solved.

This type of thinking absolutely sickens me.

Wow, 6 years old, that is so sad. I couldnt imagine losing a child that you 've known and loved for that long. Atleast a baby you dont know as well. I'd have to say...3.3 million, you're well off enough to not need donations.

I can't imagine it, and I don't want to. I'm not even saying that $3.05M is adequate compensation. I can't put a price tag on my children, and I certainly wouldn't trade any, even on a bad day, for that sort of payout. I can even commend them for wanting to adopt, rather than having more children of their own. My issue is that they're playing on the sympathy and compassion of others when they have more money than most of the people they're soliciting donations from will see in a decade.

This is the last Give Back Night that Chili's did. http://southwesttyler.kltv.com/m/news/community-spirit/77100-its-haven-grace-give-back-day-local-chilis-restaurants#bmb=1
This little girl's family was left with a mountain of medical bills that they had no hope of repaying without help.

What? Not worrying about something you can't control? You're right, its a absolutely horrible mindset to have, lmfao.

You absolutely can control it. It's sticking your head in the sand, and watching others get fucked over when you know better. Who in their right mind is going to "do their own research" when they are just trying to eat lunch/dinner at Chili's, and part of the proceeds are going to some family who appears to have been dealt a bad hand? I'd even kick a few bucks extra to the cause.

These people are fucking sickening, manipulating the good will of others. Fuck em in the ass with hot branding irons. I hope these cocksuckers get outed on the news.

I think Treasure Chest is the one to do it...that woman is on a mission.

I'm not saying what they did is not wrong, but there is not anything YOU can do about it. They will get whats coming to them, no doubt about it. But sitting here complaining about it does nothing for you.

You are a fucking idiot. There is plenty you can do, you are just to lazy to do so. First thing you can do is bring it to the manager of the location's attention and suggest he do some research about said couple and give him copies of the research you did as well. If for some reason he seems to not care (could be friends with said family) get in touch with the district or regional management. Usually by contacting the corporate office and telling them about the situation and that you have some information to pass to that store manager's superior you will get something done.

As someone else said as well, call the news and let them know about it. That is something they would be VERY interested in.

Oh ok, so are you doing any of this? Guess you are a fucking lazy idiot too.

Anyways, not wasting my breath on anyone here because nobody seems to be getting what I'm saying.

Perhaps you should articulate what you mean better.

And for the record, something was done, nobody is "fucking lazy".

[Treasure Chest]

I did my part by making the appropriate phone calls and sending emails to the appropriate people.
I can't make the final call for Chili's, but I didn't just sit there in silence, either.

Why even make a post about this if said person is going to take the stance that nothing can be done. I called and made a complaint to Chili's. Sometimes being a little more proactive is the way to go......Everyone can make a difference.....and that doesn't include posting up on here to see what kind of attention can be generated (negative or positive).

Perhaps the point of the post was to see if anyone had any better ideas for ways to go about cluing Chili's in as to what was going on.

Actually I will be making a few phone calls about this as well when I get off work this evening. So take your dumb ass and GTFO.

We understand that you feel that it's a waste of time to try to bring something to the attention of the management because you don't think they will do anything. What YOU do not understand is that if you know how to work the corporate system and find the right people to talk to, things will happen.

Redneck rich. They are probably in all kinds of credit debt, but won't sell the crap they have accumulated and keep buying more toys. If someone's heart is really in it, you'd find a way somehow to raise the money without begging for it.
