The issue with autism speaks as a charity came up today. My husband got an email last week saying a portion of every customer's bill on Monday at a restaurant (can't remember if it was Chili's or Applebee's) was going to benefit Autism Speaks. Because of this, my husband decided to eat lunch there on Monday. Then he got another email Sunday night saying the event was canceled because of customer complaints. My husband ate somewhere else Monday, but did go to this particular restaurant today. He asked the manager about it. The manager said that customers didn't have a problem with the cause, but rather the charity Autism Speaks because of their poor financial record (such a low percentage of the money raised goes to the actual cause.) The restaurant is looking at other organizations that benefit autism and plan to do a % night later this month.
