A new restaurant opened a few years ago. I visited shortly after it opened. It is called Picca Polo A La Brasa. Half of the staff wore shirts for Sardis A La Brasa. They have several locations in the area. The manager was wearing one of the Sardis polo shirts. I looked him in the eye and stated how similar they were to Sardis, then asked how they were affiliated. He said they were not. I looked at his shirt, and said "Oh, that's weird." He would not look down at his shirt.
Sounds like your guy works several jobs and needed somebody as observant as you to let him know about the shirt.
