It makes for a funny headline, but that's like 0.4% of the chain's total revenue of around 2.6 billion in 2023

More likely the private equity firm that bought Red Lobster is running it into the ground on purpose to do some credit bidding buy back bankruptcy scam that's somehow technically legal to write off a bunch of debt.

I think it's an ad.

I'm Crazy Eddie and my furniture prices are so low I must be insane!

Red Lobster's all you can eat shrimp is such a great deal they're considering bankruptcy!

Or maybe I'm too paranoid. shrug-outta-hecks

On the one hand I wouldn't be surprised if there was some "Hollywood marketing" going on here to evade taxes, on the other I can't remember the last time I or anyone I know ate at a Red Lobster so I wouldn't be surprised if it's going bankrupt.

I remember hearing this same thing last year. I agree it's an ad

AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S HAPPENED!

THEY ALMOST WENT BANKRUPT THE FIRST TIME THEY DID IT

WHY WOULD THEY DO IT AGAIN?

Money isn’t the most important thing in life. If your dream is giving people unjustifiable amounts of shrimp and cocktail sauce then you have to shoot your shot.

Critical support to the bourgeoisie on this one.

If $11 million is make-or-break money for your national restaurant chain, you have bigger problems than a loss leader that lost a little too much

Never bet on Americans not eating a lot of food.

This is basic not-invading-russia-in-the-winter type shit

Invading russia in general seems to be a poor idea

how many shrimps do you have to eat before you make your skin turn pink?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

You gotta eat the shells, that's the important part

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Correctly cooked shrimp shell is delicious

Sorry guys, went a little overboard last night.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Sorry not sorry that I ate $11 million worth of shrimp

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

I would simply charge a small amount more for shrimp, but I'm no capitalist.
