TIL TGIF hadn't declared bankruptcy yet...

And so, the world lost absolutely nothing of value.
- Bruh, I love my local fridays
  
  It has always been a more expensive, but not necessarily better, Chili's in my opinion. There's nothing they offered that I'd ever go there exclusively for.

I haven’t seen one open for years, and assumed that they had already been taken by Covid
- There's one near me, I went once a couple months ago. I loved it. The food was pretty good for the price. I'd go again but haven't been able to spare the time.
  
  I guess you don't have a microwave at home

There were never any locations near me so I've only eaten at Friday's a couple of times in the last 25 years. The food was good and the prices were fair from what I remember. I think this segment of the restaurant industry is just hit really hard by inflation. I'm really surprised there aren't a lot more bankruptcies in this segment.

Bankruptcy for large retail and restaurant chains is a scam to transfer a brand to venture capitalists. Brands will continue to operate, but immediately negates the value of ALL existing gift cards.
- LOL hard to think of much more of a "fuck you" than giving someone a tgifridays gift card

TGI Dead

That’s one of those restaurants that relies on a microwave aka Chef Mike
- Applebee's: when you are too lazy to microwave your own food!
