B.Y.O.K. - and the K is on us! Ha, just kidding!


Let's just say I'm not impressed.  I got this offer after filling out a customer satisfaction survey for Red Robin.  I know this offer was directly tied to the survey because I gave them a specific e-mail address for the survey and that's the address the offer came to.

We go to Red Robin all the time.  Tonight, we went because we wanted to get the kids out of the house.  We narrowed the choices down to two places, so we really did pick Red Robin because we had a coupon.  That's how this works.

Well, the manager's assistant came by and let us know they didn't recognize the offer so they weren't going to honor it.  I don't blame them for being cautious and I don't like making a big stink over a matter of $5.  If anything, the survey company (Empathica?) messed up for not informing the store of the offer, but it makes the whole outfit look silly.

It appears they didn't charge us for the kids' drinks.  Anyway, just be aware if you get an e-mail offer like this.  Maybe just call ahead or better yet, forward it to the restaurant's manager, if you know his or her e-mail address.
