You don’t offer a deal then get mad when ppl show up for it.

I was stationed at Ft Bragg 4 decades ago, and the red lobster in Fayetteville had all you can eat snow crab legs. Went there once a month if i could. Don't know if it's still there. Fond memories.

Guess Red Lobster didn't see that Simpsons episode where Homer ate at the Sea Captain's all you can eat seafood restaurant.

Their problems started way before endless shrimp

do half of or buy one get one free, or allow all you can eat within a short time limit, there were 1000 ways a company could have rolled this out and made millions. Also leave it to social media to ruin everything.

Everything is insanely expensive. My favorite dish there has gone up $7 in the past few years.

All you can eat means ALL YOU CAN EAT this reminds me of the simpsons episode when Homer ate all those shrimp and they kicked him out 😂

Who coulda possibly guessed that allowing indefinite amounts of food would lead to indefinite losses

People bragging about their gluttony is crazy to me.

Whoever the executive that approved that should be fired.

Simple fix the endless shrimp should only be a $25 add on for a regular entree .

As usual the employees pay for corporate's mistakes...

I used to work there 2022-2023 and they told us not to advertise endless, only respond if they ask about it LOL

You did this to yourself

They've been doing endless shrimp for decades. Thats not the reason. The exorbitant salaries of the CEOs is the reason. But they can never take the blame for anything.

The European mind cannot comprehend this

All you can eat in America?? Who’s the mf at corporate that said this was a good idea

Man I love shrimp but red lobster is mid

It's a bit misleading. The endless shrimp wasn't the only reason or even the main reason. The company was struggling already.

yall eating that mystery shrimp public schools got back in the day lmaoooooo

The only thing more disgusting is saying "shrimps" in a sentence.

Lol, so now they want to make the customer seem like the problem for doing something that they offered. Red Lobster was going under already before they even introduced the promotion. Companies don't just give out free stuff😊

This is why restaurants can't do the endless food gimmick. Sales will drop.

this is like people showing zombie glitches then they get patched lol

Red lobster founder/owner tweaking with that business offer 😂

Of all the things to make "all you can eat" shrimp is probably one of the worst. Shrimp is already pretty expensive to begin with, unlike other options from other places, such as Olive Garden's never ending pasta bowl.

Telling broke people endless shrimp deal got them in the doors and now drove you to shut down some restaurants. Fire the person who came up with that dumb idea.

How can someone eat 55 shrimps in one setting?!

gluttony at its finest

I'm sure there's more than just Endless Shrimp that is contributing to Red Lobster's bankruptcy.

I have a teenager living with me for a little while and it's challenging making sure he's fed while also teaching him not to eat for eating sake. It doesn't help that he watches an anime that glorifies gluttony.

They didn't learn from the endless crab legs fiasco from 20 years ago.

Did they not learn from the 90's endless crab debacle??

It would be common sense to know that if you’re down even 1 million maybe not continue doing that deal.

They should have offered the promotion for about one month during the entire year, or offer it just on one particular day in the middle of the week

Shrimp: I knew this was going to happen

Shrimp boat shrimp boat. Where the hell is my shrimp boat!

Does anybody else get queasy at the sight of gluttony. I cant stand it

Lets be clear, while they want you to believe that their generousity caused the problems (all you can eat shrimp) it was actually their high prices and low standards that hurt them. For a main dish and a coffee it costs $60 per person in Canada and for the last year or so they no longer include a salad, which is now offered for an additional $6. That means after one person spends $60 plus on a meal they can still leave hungry. So why would I ever go back to Red Lobster when I can have two good meals somewhere else for the same price? They priced themselves out of the market.

This video is absurd. I just went to Red Lobster. Two years ago, it was an hour wait to get in for lunch. Today, the place was empty. People can't afford it due to inflation. It has nothing to do with shrimp.

Okay, I just have to say it, the plural of shrimp is shrimp, not shrimps

They should have seen this coming! America loves an eating challenge and free food.

I feel sorry for their toilets

Wonder if majority of those customers paid with EBT Card

No it’s not the shrimp have you ever walked into a red lobster?

Why not just cancel the endless shrimp deal but i understand why they moved it to just mondays cause people where taking it as a challenge

Red Lobster closed by me but no one went there because prices were too high.

Honestly the endless shrimp deal is kinda stupid from a business standpoint. There's a reason olive garden does their endless pasta once a year

To the general public, all you can eat, is a dare.

I don't understand the fascination with shrimp. It's just food.

I often forget about how many AYCE sushi places I know, but those don't stick around neither

When I go to an all you can eat sushi place, I love the look of the chefs when I tell them I want 10 orders of salmon, red snapper and yellow tail sashimi as a starter for myself. I’m sure the owner wouldn’t be happy if he saw me eat roughly $150 worth of fish (about $5-$6 per order) as a start 😅

I hate seafood but having something be endless is just asking for it... if I knew a place was serving endless wings I'd go and eat till my stomach hurt.
