In late March, weeks before the NRA convention, NRA members started calling Ellen's to book large group dinners. Groves felt conflicted.
"Dilemma," he posted on Facebook. "Taking lots of NRA money in the form of group reservations while they're in Dallas, or taking a stand and telling them all to [expletive] off."
"It's blood money," a friend replied.
"How about a message on the bottom of our guest checks?" Groves responded. "Subtle, but there for all to see."
He mulled it over.

The NRA convention started May 3, a Thursday. That night, a table of four white men wearing NRA convention lanyards came in. Gradually, Groves heard complaints from his staff about the group. A black manager said he was asked: "You don't sound black — where you from, India?"
A Hispanic server told Groves one of them asked him: "Do you keep the illegals in the back?"
A black server said they told her: "The only reason we're so worried about guns is because of the blacks."
