It's a limited time thing and you don't seem to understand what a loss leader is.

Red Lobster is once again offering its Endless Shrimp promotion, which contributed to millions of dollars in losses before the seafood chain filed for bankruptcy two years ago.

The company told Fox News Digital it decided to bring back Endless Shrimp because the promotion still matters enormously to its customers, who “never stopped asking for it.”

“They continued telling us they missed it, showed up when we brought it back this spring and kept asking for more after that run ended,” Red Lobster said.

“We weren’t going to walk away from something they love simply because the previous operating model did not work,” the company added. “The better answer was to fix what didn’t work and bring it back in a way that is right for our guests, our restaurant teams and the company.”

According to Red Lobster, the spring run also proved the company could bring Endless Shrimp back in a way “that delights our guests and works for our restaurant teams and our business.”

Participating locations began offering the current Endless Shrimp deal for a limited time on Aug. 17.

“Guests can mix and match five flavors endlessly throughout the meal for as much shrimp as they like, any way they like it,” Red Lobster announced in a press release.

Is this worth it?
>>
>>22166249
It's not a "loss leader", though. It's just endless losses.

The PE firm that bought out RL also owns a Thai shrimp farm. They set this shit up to launder money to their Thai shrimp farm by forcing RL to purchase ridonkulous amounts of shrimp at above-market prices from that Thai shrimp farm. Since the money is offshore and in an Asian jurisdiction that laughs at American bankruptcy court claims, none of the money that was sent overseas can be recovered. Eventually the PE firm will declare bankruptcy again and stick the bondholders with the losses.

wonder what life as a farm raised chinese shrimp

>>22166447
Try learning the language

>>22166434
we should really figure out a way to make PE illegal
>>
>>22166450
Shrimp Chinese?
>>
>>22166452
Or retards could stop buying stocks and bonds from companies that are run by PE firms.
>>
>>22166249
I thought that king negro ceo said they were no longer going to offer such things and develop a menu structure similar to Chilli's.
>>
>>22166519
Or you could just make it illegal and stop sucking corporate cock. There's a billion other regulations in place for business and stock ownership, make it harder to purposely tank a company or restaurant for short-term profits.
>>
>It should be illegal for a group of people to privately own things
>>
>>22166572
he did say that but then they hired new consultants to tell him to say that customers love gimmicks and the problem was that endless shrimp was mismanaged by the restaurants.
>>
>>22166635
Word it like that it sounds bad, but you exactly know these types of PE are nothing but parasites

Stupidity should be punished, not prevented. Your vision of a bubble wrapped world where the government is in the middle of everything we do is retarded. Sounds like you greedily invested in some PE venture and got raped so you now want big daddy government to save you from your stupidity instead of simply stop being stupid.
There already are laws against fraud so if you're aware of that happening, push for a prosecution. If you think the government won't enforce the law, what's the point in passing yet another law that they won't enforce?

$31? Too pricey for me

>Not wanting to encourage PE to treat beloved restaraunts and institutions like cows to suck blood from and then discard the corpse is wanting a bubble wrap world
I could almost call you anything but retarded, except this has played out time and time again in recent times. I understand your principles but you have eyes, do you not? You like what PE does to these places? Probably.
>There are already laws against fraud
And that's bubble wrap world for you! How could they?

>>22166405
I always liked it. If you live somewhere where you can't get fish in a restaurant, RL's your only option.

Just go the Red Robin Route with Endless fries. The waiter brings you a basket with like 5 fries in it and then ghosts you for 45 minutes.
>>
>>22167514
Every one of these has closed down in my area. Endless Fries did them in?

What we really need to do is to change the laws so that there are private courses of action against PE firms that intentionally drain and bankrupt companies that they purchase.

We have had PCOA laws for all sorts of stupid things, like patent markings. "Oh no, your patent expired, but you didn't magically erase the markings from all the products you manufactured before the expiration so that will be $500 per unit paid directly to the kike who is suing you!" Government slapped that down in under two years -- I actually found one that I was going to sue over just for funsies, offering to settle for $1 plus costs to immunize the company against future lawsuits, but Congress deleted the PCOA before I graduated law school.
>>
>>22168236
Not illegal in my state. I hope my kike governor accidentally falls into a woodchipper stomach-first.
>>
>>22166572
Yes but now it's this
>>22166434
except they'll be using shrimp from india, so eating more will slowly kill the customers stupid enough to purchase the food
>>
>>22169249
The PE firm's shrimp farm is in Thailand, not Pooland.
>>
>>22166230
They're injecting the shrimp with mRNA vaccines. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Red Lobster has gone full ghetto for some reason
I remember growing up it was strictly for the middle class white people to go on occasion

>>22175799
Yeah I was gonna say that in response to >>22174369
Pretty sure there was a full-fledged riot inside the one near me when they ran out of something that was supposed to be AYCE and the local nog population dining there took offense.
