Dogs welcome, bankers banned.

The owner of a Michelin-ranked restaurant outside Paris has banned bankers from his eatery in revenge for being denied a loan. Alexandre Callet, 30, who runs the gourmet restaurant Les Ecuries de Richelieu, is furious with financiers after he was refused a €70,000 (£54,000) credit line to open a second venue. The blackboard outside his restaurant in Rueil-Malmaison, an upmarket suburb to the west of Paris, now reads: “Dogs welcome, bankers banned (unless they pay an entry fee of €70,000).” “As soon as I see a banker that I recognise I won’t let them enter my restaurant.
They have treated me like a dog, so I have denied them access,” he said.
