6:15 am
this restaurant suddenly closing on thursday and posting this sign that, yes, they use msg, they do not buy organic, and don't care about gluten free hasn't hurt business. the owner and chef stands by the old and new sign because, simply put, he's tired of catering to hard-to-satisfy patrons. here is an example of customer interaction thursday. >> a guy came up to me and he said, the rule is if we don't like it, we don't have to pay. as he was walking out, he cursed at me. and that's why. >> reporter: the social media response has been huge. people on both sides are debating his actions. christine tweeted, alienating potential customers is never a good idea. business 101. some self proclaimed picky eaters agree to some degree. >> because of my food preferences as far as quality goes, i wouldn't choose to eat there. but it is his choice.
