Is "Roastbeef" some new slang term?

…posted in the restaurant in which I work. Servers had gotten lazy and started putting ketchups where they didn’t belong, and a manager got fed up with this. So, he posted this sign. It’s a really good thing our managers aren’t English majors or rocket scientists. We’d all be screwed.

Birthday Party’s & Stage Rental’s

Alyssa writes:

My theater company is doing a show at this particular theater in Marietta, GA as a favor to the owner.
