This is a topic i am very familiar with, since the founder of OSI was my college roommate and best friend. Yes, let's boycott a restaurant chain that has created thousands and thousands of jobs throughout this country,a company that gets financially involved in every community they have restaurants in,and a restaurant chain that serves quality food at reasonable prices.On top of that, he has personally given millions to cancer research, especially pediatric cancers.Finally , the OSI waiters and waitresses ,when their tips are included, make a very decent income.In Lexington , we have 4 OSI restaurants and i've never seen an ad in our local paper about hiring,it's all through word of mouth. Just remember ,restaurants are in the business to stay in business.
