Daniel McCawley owns a restaurant called the Atomic Grill in Morgantown, West Virginia. Recently, a customer posted a review on UrbanSpoon demanding that the female servers at the Atomic Grill "show some skin." And this is how McCawley responded:
By posting an image of potato skins!
And he didn't stop there:
"It was brutish. I was upset. I’m a father of a 12-year-old girl and I’ve got five sisters," McCawley said. "The way that women are treated is pretty personal as far as I’m concerned."If you'd like to offer a virtual high five to McCawley and some support to his female staff, the Atomic Grill's Facebook page is here.
...From now through Memorial Day, Atomic Grill will be offering a potato skin special for $7, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the West Virginia Foundation for Rape Information Services.
"We took offense to the review and wanted to flip it in a positive way," McCawley explained.
