Longhorn Steakhouse has no women's restroom & Dr Pepper Rant

[Vraille Darkfang]

Well,

After watching Episode 3 yesterday, my wife & I went to eat at Longhorn Steakhouse.

Half-way through the meal, I had to go to the restroom. So I followed the Restroom sign to the back where 2 doors stood.

One said 'Bulls'. "That would be the guys I thought."

The other said 'Lambs'. "That's nice, they put in a children's restroom"

"But where's the Heifers?" I thought.


Ya know, if your worried about offending someone with the cute sign above the restroom, at least don't mix your metaphors. And don't get it wrong. If you can't tell the difference between a Lamb & a Ewe, I ain't ordering the Lamb roast. Ever.


Scroll down about half-way and see the talk about Dr. Pepper.

I have only eaten at a Longhorn once. The Prime rib was horrible I have had better at a cafeteria.

I think a lot of woman would hate to be called heifers. It implies a certain weight. As for Ewe maybe they felt that people would not know what that was.

I personally find cutesy names for bathrooms silly.

At least the last time I ate at one (in fact, the ONLY time!), I didn't have to to the restroom so I didn't have to go figure it out...

I definitely wouldn't want to be labeled a "heifer". A good way to get one's ass kicked!

Especially those done in poor taste.

They also don't have Dr. Pepper, at least up here in Michigan. C'mon! Longhorn Steakhouse implies some kind of tie to Texas, and Dr. Pepper is ubiquitious in Texas. It's only since I moved to Michigan five years ago that I gradually stopped drinking it frequently because I can't find it very often.

I can't imagine a place without Dr. Pepper.


Then again I live in Texas.

Exactly my point. It was cold turkey for me. Now, I've mostly replaced DP with Mountain Dew when I need a dose of caffeine in my coke (small c), but if I move back to Texas, (which my wife would love, and I'd probably jump on too if I found a job that paid enough to entice me to endure the summers again) I'd be back to Dr. P in a hearbeat.

Our fast food joint quit having Dr. Pepper for a couple of years. I presume it was due to customer demand is why we have it now. Which is good as I've gotten tired of telling them "we don't carry Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb, or anything else similar).

Coincidence: radio playing a Dr. Pepper commercial as I was typing that.

Mr. Pibb really is the only thing similar, and I've had that a few times since moving up here. I'm really annoyed when the waiters offer up, "we've got root beer!" as a substitute for Dr. Pepper. As if there's anything at all in common between root beer and Dr. Pepper other than the color...

There are places without Dr. Pepper?

Michigan seems to be in a special limbo with Dr. Pepper. The store I used to buy it from would receive it randomly from 4 (maybe it was 5) different bottlers because of how close the different bottlers were. It could be a Pepsi, 7-Up, Coke or independent product. It was frustrating to try and find DP on sale because they might not have it from the right bottler that week. Luckily we have Dr. Thunder out here in Nevada, which is like 95% as good as DP.

I don't know about Longhorn Steakhouse. I don't even like steak. But I live virtually in the middle of nowhere and I can get Dr. Pepper at the grocery store, at Wal-mart, K-Mart, every gas station in town, from vending machines at the community college, at Wendy's, and even at McDonalds.

Weird.
