Bad Apples

Here's a policy Apple Restaurant & Lounge in West Hollywood might want to reconsider: Texting former customers news about Thanksgiving dinner. "Say wha?! There’s a level of trust being breached here. Until now, there’s been a mutual understanding that restaurants need to confirm our commitment (frankly, we like the reminder), and in exchange we expect the restaurants to, well, lose our number. I suppose it was only a matter of time before restaurant owners began compiling those phone numbers for publicity blasts...I really hope this doesn’t catch on." [LA Mag/Digest]
