They went to the Empress of course &#8211; a breakfast tea, served as an afternoon tea? &#8211; but then they went to eat a late lunch or early dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redfish-bluefish.com\/\">Red Fish Blue Fish<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com\/LocationPhotos-g154945-d785705-Red_Fish_Blue_Fish-Victoria_Vancouver_Island_British_Columbia.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Red Fish Blue Fish\" src=\"http:\/\/media-cdn.tripadvisor.com\/media\/photo-s\/01\/54\/5e\/cc\/waiting-to-order.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">.<\/p>\n<p>I love that they visited Red Fish Blue Fish, one of the funnest, innovative, and most delicious seafood restaurants in Victoria. Ok, it&#8217;s not really a restaurant, it&#8217;s a food outlet in a converted container, and you have to eat outdoors (or take your dinner home). But it&#8217;s so delicious &#8211; and it&#8217;s the restaurant the city didn&#8217;t want. This business was stymied and thwarted for over two (2!!) years before they finally got permission to operate.<\/p>\n<p>Red Fish Blue Fish earned its reputation &#8211; against the odds put up by the city (which, in a sane world, should be in the business of supporting businesses like this). Luckily, &#8220;the world&#8221; validated the enterprise and its earned reputation with international coverage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">On the other hand, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/YuleHeibel\/status\/9511587510\">here<\/a>&#8216;s an example of entitled brats acting like a-holes: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vancouverobserver.com\/blogs\/overheardolympics\/2010\/02\/19\/vancouvers-anti-olympics-movement-falters-local-activist-hero\">Vancouver&#8217;s Anti-Olympics Movement Falters as Local Activist Hero David Eby Gets Pie in Face From Black Bloc Supporters<\/a>. Yep, way to go, show the world that temper tantrums are so &#8230;effective (not). It takes entitlement superiority of epic proportions to act like this. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s not uncommon in these parts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Pie\" src=\"http:\/\/crujonessociety.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/banana_cream_pie1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A follow up on Entitlement post with 2 examples of (1) earned reputation and (2) spoiled brat behavior (aka entitlement attitudes).
