I just want to post this in hope that the FAT TIGERS that were at Fandango's last night will see it! We went there because my boyfriend is a Veteran. We waited in line for over 1 hour. We enjoyed the time talking to other Veterans and seeing how lucky he was to not come home with any injuries. We saw multi people in wheel chairs, walkers, crunches, some had to be helped standing up, some on oxygen etc. But they all were happy to be able to share some of their stories with fellow Veterans.
When we finally got in and served we saw 2 couples come in the GO OUT entrance. They talked to one of the servers. They were seated immediately! I went up to her and asked why! She said something about tigers, I asked to speak to the manager.
I asked her why they could get in without standing in line like all the other Veterans. I said if you look at the line still waiting to get in, it is still winding around clear to the back of the casino. She said these people are TIGERS. I asked very politely what in the HELL are tigers. She said they are people that spend quite a bit gambling. So I said so this day is NOT FOR Veterans alone it's also for Tigers! I said all the announcements that we have heard is not true, because it kept saying that the casino is honoring Veterans today! I guess someone needs to go and tell him to add to the announcements that you are ALSO honoring tigers. It got a little heated, I told her I was going to write a letter to corporate telling them what I thought about what "they" were doing, I felt it was a dishonor to the Veterans who have been standing in line for a hour or longer. She told me if I did that that the corporate would probably not do this again. I asked her what she meant. She said they would not Give free food to the Veterans again next year, they would probably stop it. I told her what a Very Sad world that ONE DAY a year the tigers couldn't wait in line and show their support for our Veterans.
