You are wrong, Chas.

Those were Mr. Johnson's precise words, as admitted by Mr. Johnson during an
on-air interview with Steve McGehee.

Jim Johnson goes on to suggest that Tom should have approached him [Jim
Johnson] to explain that he [Tom] is with a disabled person.  This
suggestion, alone, opens the flood gates for criticism.

The thing that sticks in the back of my mind throughout this exchange on
V2020 is:

Here is an individual that moves into a small town where he knows virtually
nobody and opens a restaurant, an extremely customer-oriented venture.
Taking these into consideration, Mr. Johnson should have been particularly
more flexible in his responses to customers in his establishment.

I would suggest wearing the sign yourself, Mr. Kettle.  For what it is
worth, the actual words, according to Jim Johnson, were:

"How was I supposed to know he was mentally retarded?  It's not like
he was wearing a sign around his neck!"

But, of course, it is easier to believe what you want.
