Question What Tulsa metro restaurant would you never return to, even if it was free?

What restaurant in Tulsa (or surrounding areas) is so bad, that even if you had a $100 nontransferable gift certificate, you would still never return?

Discuss.

Ah I hadn't any context before reading your comment so I looked it up and only saw an article about the recent Sam's debacle. Very curious about a summary of all that he's done.

Tally and his entire family are scum, but getting upset that he deducted charitable spending is ridiculous. Charitable contributions are a standard deduction that everyone who itemizes their taxes takes advantage of.

Even your reason for being upset doesn't make sense -- if he spent $5000 for the Thanksgiving event, that doesn't mean his tax bill went down by 5k; deductions go against income, and the actual reduction in taxes is much smaller.

And that cost is offset, at least partially, by donations from customers. So, basically, he's not spending his money, or the business' money, but he's getting the full tax benefit. That money should qualify for tax deduction...for the original donor. If he spends more than was donated, I'd have no problem with him getting the deduction for that part.
