I've often been asked to run for office. I have no desire to do that, I would not want my time with the family or the company restricted because of the demands of an elected position. |
Whenever you're successful you owe that success to the people in the community, because they are the ones buying your product. |
And for a very special group of people, we've provided their only job. I'm speaking of course of the disabled. They have stated they don't want a hand out just a hand. We are happy to give them one. |
It's no secret that I've become known for my strong political views. |
If the money we donate helps one child or can ease the pain of one parent, those funds are well spent. |
We have developed overlays for the keys of the cash registers with the help of the Braille Institute, so that blind crew members can take orders and help our guests. |
I am happy to donate funds to various organizations that help people in need. |
In other restaurants you'll see employees signing to each other, since we also hire many deaf men and women. |
We find that other employees are very enthusiastic about their fellow crew members who have disabilities-or what they previously thought of as disabilities. |
We have people working for us full-time because they were forced to retire at 65. I know that I never want to stop working, and I am glad that I can offer positions to others who feel the same way. |
In addition we also hire many senior citizens. |
