"Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed 'Ultimate Endless Shrimp' deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023."

How’s the air feel with your nose that high up?

Whut?

Edit: like ...are you arguing that fresh seafood isn't inherently better than literally any other age of seafood because of course it is? I'm legit confused, lol.

You just come off very snobbish in that comment.

Yes, obviously fresh food is best, but not everyone can have that.

Maybe it’s just me
