i agree with not naming the restaurant. With today's cancel culture, even what some might see as a small problem will be taken by others as a reason to boycott with the intent of driving away all business. Until society shows it can again keep things in perspective I would be very reluctant to call out people or places by name.
If I understand the forum statistics correctly, this thread has been viewed nearly 4,300 times. This seems like it has been pretty effective at getting the word out even if the particular restaurant was not named. An owner or manager among those 4,300 might recognize the description and make changes at their establishment. This thread might result in some changes without naming and shaming the restaurant.
I question whether there was any real problem anyway. If the OP was servered by Shay, the new 22 year old waitress with the long blond hair held back with sparkly clips, earrings, and nicely painted fingernails would there have been any concern? While I don't agree that there was a problem, I do appreciate the way the OP handled it: expressing their opinion to corporate but keeping the name of the restaurant out of these posts.
