Letter to Buffalo Wild Wings

[TTravis]

I was at BWW in Plainfield and did not see any sign. I thought I read here on INGO that they did have a sign at Plainfield so maybe it was removed. I still tried to cash in a gift card and they would not give me the money. They said I could only spend the card there. I am on a diet.... I don't want to eat their food.

I"m not on a diet, you could always contribute to the fatness of me...

 

[AlterEgoJason]

I just noticed a sign recently posted at the Muncie BWW location. I will not be spending any money at all.

Sign was up last time I went to the BWW in Plainfield, and that was just a couple of months ago. Large sign right next to the entry door.

The last time I was at the BWW on the north side of Fort Wayne it took over 40 minutes to get 12 wings and they were not very busy. Now that I know they do not allow weapons on the property I will try and not go there anymore.

I'm going to Hooters.

 

[Roadie]

I'm going to Hooters.

Hooter's corporate policy is "No Guns", go to Tilted Kilt instead. They are even OC friendly..

I'd say to get ahold of Mike Jones or Anthony Brewer in regards to policy in most of the Indiana BW's but neither of them care about guest satisfaction, comfort, nor rights. I've spoken with Mr. Jones in the past about this policy regarding the Muncie location and his response I cannot quote without receiving a violation on here.

Mr. Brewer is a much more reasonable man than Mr. Jones, but unless you're waiving money in Mr. Jones' face nothing will change. Nothing else matters to the man.

Truly varies from location to location.

I've said it too often that my local BW3 in Greenwood is neutral, positive towards me, and friendly... and honestly, they already have my beer of choice and boneless wing order put in by the time I'm halfway to the bar. My food has never taken longer than 5 minutes to get to me (I think bar gets priority?)

So, sure, there are some bad apples out there.

This^^

Not sure what some people's issue with the OP finding a problem with a business rule and writing a letter addressing it. If I do business with a company and find something I don't like then I either bring it to the attention of the owner/manager or do business else where. I don't think that really is interfering with the owner's private property or his rules, just informing him that I disagree and will do business else where. As far as posting it here to inform other gun owners seems like that might be appropriate for this group.

Exactly. As a business owner myself, I want to know about any and all issues that arise with my customers.

I know this is old news to many of you but BWW with such an anti gun position set me off. I sent the letter below. I already got a response and it was essentially, F$%# You.

Dear Buffalo Wild Wings,

I am licensed in Indiana to carry a handgun. I have been in your restaurants at least weekly for over four years. My family and I go there at least once a week and for business BWW is my go to lunch location to take customers. Last night my son pointed out a sign saying "BWW Bans Guns on these premises". This policy does nothing to deter crime and it is going to drive away customers. In America I can vote with my wallet. As long as you maintain this policy I will NEVER enter your establishments again. I am also a member of Indiana Gun Owners and will be sharing your decision against the 2nd amendment with them. At last count, INGO was over 25,600 members strong in Indiana.

I would heartily recommend you rethink your corporation's position on the legal carry of firearms. In the meantime I will be doing my best to direct business away from you.

Regards,

I prefer Wing ECT. . Just never cared for that other place

 

[Liberty1911]

Excellent! I look forward to not going there!

That's a start!

 

[Justin727]

To me the sign doesnt read "no guns aloud"

It reads "criminals welcome, no one here has the means to defend themselves"

It's too bad. I really like BWW and so does my girlfriend but both being firm 2A supporters they've lost our business and many other family and friends of our's business.

 

[critter592]

To me the sign doesnt read "no guns aloud"

Does it read no guns quietly then?

 

[Smokepole]

There is a better solution ...

Go somewhere else where you and your gun are actually welcome.

What's on the other side? Never mind I found it.
