...Welcome to Ruby Tuesday 1 Welcome to Ruby Tuesday BUS 100 Dr. Etta Steed Welcome to Ruby Tuesday 2 Ruby Tuesday is a casual dining restaurant that I often visit with my family. On most occasions I am overwhelmed with the menu items. I tend to take long at ordering my food due to indecisiveness. The things that I noticed to be Ruby Tuesday’s strengths are the quality of customer service they offer and the salad bar option. Although the restaurant is one of my favorite I think that the lighting could be better and the pricing on the food can be lower. Overall Ruby Tuesday is a great restaurant as they are able to stand out by including the salad bar in casual dining. As most restaurants do Ruby Tuesday is no different when it comes to making the menu editable. I love to try different foods when I go out with my family and it tends to be harder when all menu items look good. Like most restaurants Ruby Tuesday has pictures on the menu and they also have signature daily dishes. Implementing daily food items makes the restaurant meet fine dining expectations to be in the market of competition with restaurants like Arizona’s. Arizona’s is a very high end restaurant that have chefs that decide on daily menu items. With Ruby Tuesday picking up this as an option it is giving fine dining restaurants some competition because they have lower prices. The salad bar offered by Ruby Tuesday is an amazing experience as most restaurants serve salad with meals but you are able...

...STRAYER UNIVERSITY Ruby Tuesday Ethical Issues Multiple lawsuits [Type the author name] 6/8/2016 Ruby Tuesday is a successful national restaurant chain specializing in “American” type cuisine, enjoyed by many on a daily basis. While they are able to thrive in a very tough industry, they have been in the news for some possible ethic conduct violations, one regarding employee wages and another regarding gender bias hiring. In 2012 a law suit was filed against Ruby Tuesday Inc. (RTI), by what the industry refers to as “front of house” employees, which covers waiters/waitresses/food runners and bartenders. These type of employees are paid on a different type pay scale, as a good part of their wages are made from tips from the customers they serve. Since these “tipped” employees focus on customer service, the las states they are only allowed to spend no more than 20% of their work day performing “side work”. (ROC n.d.) The suit claims that RTI would have employees punch out and continue to work or perform tasks before they punched into work. The suit was settled out of court, with RTI paying about 3 million dollars to workers for lost wages. In another suit, Ruby Tuesday, Inc has been accused of discriminatory hiring against men. The company placed an ad in a Utah newspaper looking for seasonal bartenders and servers, actually indicating a preference for women (Phillip 2015). The company was providing housing for the employees and apparently...

Ruby Tuesday has adopted a performance of business demeanor and ethics to confirm its commitment to conduct business. Adherence to laws, rules, and directive is the most important area in a company's code of performance. Complying with laws, rules, and directive includes preventing harassment, discrimination, and work place adherence. When companies are in full adherence with all laws, rules, and directive, they're not putting themselves at risk for the unhelpfulness towards their company.

It was believed that an employee in a location in Ohio, had intentionally burnt a Aureole in the bowl that their food had been served in. They believed the intent was brought up when a cook saw the Rosen's daughter wearing a necklace showing the star of David as she was entering the restroom. The Rosen family believed that upon the cook discovering that they were religion, the cook in turn discriminated against their religious beliefs. The family faced an emotional battle behind this event. This event is being stated to show just how important it is to train your staff/ employees properly so that events of...

...CMST 192 2:00-3:15 pm - Dr. Fischer Chapter 5 Reflection Listening skills are a very important for each and every person to have. Without them, how is one able to understand another? We are all guilty of poor listening at some point, especially in this generation because of all the technology we have access to. Cell phones are one of the biggest distractions to listening that I have seen. A lot of times you will see students sitting on their phones during the middle of a lecture or even sitting on their phones at a dinner table rather than listening to what the people around them have to say. Other examples of reasons for poor listening are things like the effort a person is willing to put in, being overloaded with too much information at once, not knowing enough about the topic prior, just listening to respond and not actually taking what the person is saying into consideration or simply just not having respect for a person who may be speaking. There are many ways that a person can help themselves become a better listener such as reducing noise, putting in the effort to listen, stay focused on the conversation, try to have prior knowledge, avoid distractions and be respectful! I personally am someone who is very easily distracted by my phone during classes and that is something I am trying to work on because as soon as I put it away I will get so much more out of the classes I am taking. Noise doesn’t just have to be physical, it can be psychological which is what distracts...

...It's early in the morning, a Tuesday ironically, when Billy gets the call to collect Sam Winchester’s soul. She's surprised that Sam is being collected, and Dean isn't, because she had always assumed they would go out swinging, together. When she gets to Sam, the scene before her is nothing like she imagined the younger Winchester’s death to look like. There are no demons, or angry spirits, he isn't killed by a wendigo, or a witch. He's killed by a seventeen year old boy, driving an old Chevy pickup. Sam is lying almost motionless, in the middle of a quiet road. He’s the victim of a hit and run. There’s an awful lot of blood surrounding him, pooling around his chest, and his blood is bubbling rhythmically from his mouth. As a reaper, she's seen her fair share of hit and run deaths, but this is different. This is Sam Winchester, the man who saved the world from Apocalypse, not once but twice, the man who rid the world of the devil, twice. The man who has killed thousands of evil creatures alongside his brother, and now here he lay, in...

...The countryside was lush, sparkling with a plum blue serene from the early morning sunrise. Atop the highest of the Vilorian Mountains, the city of Astral stood silent against the ringing of silver trumpets from the north highlands. The travelers crossing the last of the mountains rocky crossings took in the scene from under the fruits of a Bombaly tree, standing colossal at one hundred meters in height. Petty fruits the size of a child’s fist lay strewn about under its goliath canopy, dripping with ruby red nectar. The morning wind was crisp and slightly harsh, a sign to all that the winter seasons were coming with quickness. The trail leading up to the city was a four day expedition from the coast, and it had been a taxing journey for all in company. From where he lingered on the edge of the vast mountain Cyril looked down upon the Port of Themme, twenty leagues off. The brilliant light of the day lit up the ocean and surrounded all with a dazzling view of the great maritime reefs that stretched as far as the eye could see. The vastness of the blue ocean always seemed to enlighten Cyril when it stared up at him from the deep, and like always, he treasured the view for a fleeting moment. But with great beauty comes great sorrow, and at that moment the reality of the daunting mission he was on got the better of him, turning his gaze southwards to his...

...Taking online classes and reaching one's maximum potential can be quite a challenge. In order to complete classes one must be able to set realistic goals and time-lines. A plan must be designed to incorporate work, family, and school. Last but not least, one must face the challenge of not physically being present in a classroom setting. Online classes can be a unique challenge, however; it is not impossible to successfully complete courses. Realistic goals and time-lines are almost always the key to being successful in anything one may do, online classes are no exception. Setting goals at the beginning of each course as to the grade one would like to achieve. Another goal that could be set is what does one want to learn and get out of the particular course. Tasks must be set in place for each day that the individual knows that they can accomplish. For instance, on day one of an assignment, complete all the necessary reading. Day two listen to any video lectures and read over instructor notes. Day three do homework and any class assignments. Day four review any notes that you have taken and the feedback form instructor as you are preparing for the test that week. Setting goals and time-lines help to keep you on track and where you need to be with the lesson. A plan must be designed to integrate school, work, and family to maintain an equal balance. Working and taking classes of any kind proves to be a challenge. Most people work at least 40 hour work weeks, but some people...

...Anna Prioletti Professor Watts English 102 A24 January 20, 2013 Through the Eyes of Dean Winchester: On the Road and On the Hunt In my favorite TV show, Supernatural, one of the protagonists and my favorite character is Dean Winchester, a certainly very round character. The series begins in Lawrence, Kansas with the demonic death of Dean’s mother Mary. Consequently he, his brother Sam, and his father John are thrust into the world of the supernatural. John becomes obsessed with hunting the evil he encounters and ultimately tracking down the demon that killed Mary. As Dean grows, he learns more and more about hunting, weaponry, and the supernatural creatures that haunt this world. Due to circumstance, he is forced to grow up at an early age as he helps his father and fills the maternal role for Sam. Dean is such a standout and memorable character to me because of his never-failing selflessness, fierce protective nature, and emotionally complex mind. Throughout the show, it is easy to see how selfless Dean is. In his mind, family always comes first no matter the consequences or what may happen to him. Growing up moving from place to place with his hunter father and young brother, Dean learns family is all he has. He and his father had a militaristic relationship in that Dean did whatever he was told and never questioned anything or argued. He put aside any dreams or aspirations he may have had to stick with his dad and help him get revenge while also taking...

...was packed with people. The sky was clear blue. Occasionaly, we could hear the airplanes soaring above our heads. The Airplanes made white lines around the sky, filling the sky with beautiful patterns made by the white lines. As we started walking to our right, the hustle and bustle of a Bicycle Rental Shop could be heard. Smells of the aroma of mouth watering food could be smelt from a distance. When we entered the shop we were greeted by sales assistants standing by the door. One of the sales assisstants took us to the mountain bike section. As I entered the section, I was amazed by the sight. From head to toe were colourful bikes lining agaiinst the walls. Small bikes, medium bikes and large bikes were piled against the wall. I chosed a ruby red bike and my Uncle chose a blue bike. As we had a day rental, we decided to cycle to Changi Beach and East Point. I hopped on my bike and started to cycle. along the way we passed many shops selling food, drinks, children playing in the sea or building sandcastles. The bicycle trail winded further East. There was a part where the bicycle trail winded near a pach of the beach and we could see the clear blue water rising on the beach and lowering back down into the sea. as it rised, we could see a tiny bit of the beautiful, peaceful, loving underwater world. The water smelt fresh but it also smelt a bit salty. Moving...
