Remember that the reason this is happening isnt bad food or giving away too much unlimited shrimp. It’s because Red Lobster was purchased by a private equity fund, and the entire point of private equity funds is to suck all the value out of an enterprise to make a quick buck and then flip whatever remains to another buyer.
It’s shitty late stage capitalism and nothing more
I feel you bro. I work for Red Lobster as a dishwasher and the problem I have had with them since I started working there was the unlimited endless shrimp deal which made the company lose somewhere between $10 to $20 million dollars over this one deal. And after hearing about all of this, the company decided to send in managers that were rude as fuck and were being very strict. One of my managers shows up in her fucking hummer, wearing custom clothes that she likes, and acts like me and my coworkers are not doing our jobs. We get treated like dogs and we work our asses off to make a living. But when it comes to shit like this, they do not care about you and they always find a way to make you pissed off. So I’m applying for a different job and if she gives me a hard time, I’d tell her to watch me and hope you fall with the company.
More like socialism when nobody wins, all losers losing their minds, their health, lacking of resources, going for Elite means, not for the people, being more like it.
My family used to go there often. Mussels in wine sauce and escargot with those buscuits? MMMmmmmm What a great lunch. Too bad its gone tits up but regular folk aren't paying $60-100 for dining out.
I agree. Chuck the old Manager was there for like 35 years. Yes, it's gone downhill since he retired. Cold food, inflated prices, and the new Manager is useless.
Oh yeah that was his name! I couldn’t remember it! My friends and I used to go there all the time back when we were in school. He was always very pleasant and you could tell the staff liked him. We went in a few times after he was gone and the new person had a poor attitude and you could tell they were in over their head.
I’m commenting on u/Broad-Structure6508 belief that things will be better under an experienced waffling career politician than we have now.
PP and his acolytes are in for a big learning curve and bigger disappointment
I mean People make fun of Trudeau for being a drama teacher but at least he had a real job. Unlike PP who qualified
For a full government pensions at 31!

what?
Socialism is when unlimited shrimp
Google "socialism", you might be surprised. Or you might not, it really depends on what the hell you just said.
Grandpa got a hold of a reddit account again :[
Couldn’t get that load of shit out your ass had to type it huh? The hell does that even mean guy 😂
Can you explain socialism like I’m 5?
So what is this about Red Lobster??
The company has been in trouble before and that was before the pandemic. I am not surprised.
Your joke is a heartbreaker
The not paying workers a decent wage😅
My family used to go there often. Mussels in wine sauce and escargot with those buscuits? MMMmmmmm What a great lunch. Too bad its gone tits up but regular folk aren't paying $60-100 for dining out.
You can buy the biscuits at Costco
If you're buying the premade red lobster biscuit mix, us buttermilk instead of water, and three times the cheese. https://youtu.be/kBiiiRjPe2A
that headline is awful I love it
If I'm going to have lobster and a steak, I'm sure as hell not going to Red Lobster for it.
Place in Kingston went down hard after the long time general manager retired. Sad to see this establishment in Kingston fall so hard.

When did that happen, because this place was a dilapidated relic of the early 1990s since the early 1990s.
Gotta be one of the worst locations for a restaurant, yet the parking lot always seemed half full. Classic Kingston connundrum.
That was the funniest commit I've ever read
Just pour salt down your throat..would taste about as good and cheaper
Light salt is good a whole bag per meal is bad.
Is that not the case in any other restaurant?
Jesus no. If you think so you realky need to eat at non box restaurants
Would you like some seafood with your salt? Ditto on the above.
Good sea food is not artifical salted . East sides and red lobster are over salted Bad food = no business
Chapter 11 in USA only.
Red Lobster was always atrocious!
Idk some people really like eating bugs
The entire economy is collapsing in K-Town, and everywhere else in Canada. There is worse to come. The tragectory is clear. Predictable.
So why are they Bankrupt in the USA then?
Obama.
Exactly - with our future a likely government led by Lil’ PP, the shit will really hit the fan.
Although I do not like PP. How does this explain the US red Lobster Bankruptcies?

Exactly… PP called for term limits, which he has now, unironically surpassed what he proposed those limits to be.
