Sad, how this county still can't see the big picture... Just look at the headlines in this weeks Sentinel.. Could it have not read. "Local Business Sees Increase Of Sales By 30%"? Oh, but NO, we have to be cute and just talk about the BEER. But the funniest thing in the whole article is the LAST LINE where an employee is quoted useing Dade County's most famous quote.... Sometimes you just have to laugh at STUPID!

Pizza Hut Says Bottoms Up Are Improving Bottom Line
9/28/2011




STILL LIFE, WITH BEER: Two friends toast the Trenton ordinance that now allows them to enjoy an adult beverage with their Super Supreme hand-tossed pie at the local Pizza Hut. On a recent visit to the restaurant, the Sentinel found Pizza Hut customers generally enthusiastic about the change but, oddly, none willing to smile for the front page from behind a frosty glass.

Trenton’s Pizza Hut, so far the only business to take advantage of the much-debated ordinance the city recently passed permitting malt beverage sales by the drink, says as yet the change has done the restaurant nothing but good.

“Since we started serving, sales are up 30 percent,” said Joseph Angle, a Pizza Hut assistant manager, by telephone Monday morning.

He added he didn’t know how much of the boost came from beer sales and how much from the renovations lavished on the restaurant after it was damaged by April 27’s killer tornados. Pizza Hut remained closed several months after the storms while the building was repaired and revamped. Since reopening, sales started out slow but have picked up steadily, said Angle.

Angle said the restaurant had thus far experienced no problems from unruly imbibers. “We have all these little regulations about beer,” he said. “We require you to order something to eat with it. You have to finish the first one before we give you another, and you can only have three.”

At least so far, said Angle, these policies have appeared to work, with beer drinkers well-behaved and the only trouble coming from one customer who wanted a beer and couldn’t get one.

“We haven’t really had any issues except one guy who yelled at us because we didn’t sell it on Sunday,” he said.

Angle said the frustrated suds craver demanded to know if the Sunday ban was just a Dade rule. “I don’t think he was from around here,” he said.

My guess is there Angle, is that he wasn't even from Georgia where in alot of Counties you will be able to finally vote on Sunday Sales since Georgia is one of the few remaining States that didn't allow Sunday Sales. Not that Dade COunty voters would vote for it, because one reason is that they will never get the chance as long as the "Good Ole Boys" have their way of not putting it on the ballot. Been there and tried that just with sales, even before some folks from the County think that the City should have got a chance to vote for it.....lol...lol....
