why not just make your own meals

>going to chain restaurants

Kek, those restaurants look shitty to begin with, i can buy like what 3 fidget spinners instead of a single meal?

Have you ever eaten at Applebee's? SHIT-TIER FOOD.

Applebee's and Chili's are shit because they are simply shit.

IMO there should be more independently owned restaurants around.

Tgi is cringe tier. Especially when they ring the bell every time someone tips. The forced fun in places like that is so transparent

Applebee's employee here. They made some very poor business decisions in the last couple of years including wasting huge amounts of money on their failed Firegrill promotion and they're throwing a tantrum now and trying to find scapegoats like why don't 20 year olds eat here?

Fuck that noise, kill off all the chains and close off the monopolies. Give small businesses a chance.

>paying $50 for microwaved food
Shig.

Millennials know when a bad deal is a bad deal. Small portions for outrages prices. They see when capitalism went wrong and refuse to give business to those unworthy of it. Meanwhile, businesses that present good portions for good prices are doing perfectly fine... hmm....

Fuck chain restaurants. Overpriced shit food that only ever thrived on national advertising campaigns and name recognition. Businesses that blame millenials for their impending failure deserve to crash and burn.

Does anyone outside of flyover states seriously eat at these chain bar-and-grilles/sports bars?

Good. Shit food is shit.

>Businesses that blame millenials for their impending failure deserve to crash and burn
Chances are your business model may just be outdated and not practical anymore.

underrated post

I bought bitcoin so I can one day buy buffalo wild wings and keep it to myself.

>people are finally realizing that paying $20 for shitty wings and a fist full of fries is a ripoff
Shocking.

I'll go out of my way to eat local food or some hole in the wall. I've eaten at applebees once. I know the food no reason to go back.

Old Country Buffet same thing

Your correct, but really the only reason I don't go to Buffalo Wild Wings is because I don't live near one I fucking love BWW

My sister in law and her babby daddy eat nothing but TGIF, BW3 and Chilis. If babby daddy don't want to go out she goes and gets it in a bag.

She is also a 400lb landwhale and lives in Indiana.

Chain restaurants are universally terrible. Bad products, bad service, bad ingredients, bad for your health. Millennials aren't falling for it. Advertising still hasn't figured out how to advertise to Millennials, they are failing hard

>sit down restaurants

As opposed to what?

I honestly don't blame millennials for this one. After 8 year of 0 wage growth under Obama, 8 years of only the rich getting richer under Obama, and 8 years of the Federal Reserve targeting a higher inflation rate due to all the money Obama printed and spent over 8 years casing the same dollar to be worth less with no wage growth....I blame Trump because I am a good liberal robot programed by professors who espouse the virtues of Communism and Socialism while robbing me of critical thinking skills.

tl:dr - Millennials can't keep chains open when they have no money, which is the result of pure shit-tier economic policy of the last 8 years...but people are still dump enough to blame anything but the real problem.

applebees was ok when it was $8 for the chicken nuggets and fries without checking IDs on $3 beers. inventing "firegrill" and reserving the best parking space for takeout is just the splinters you get in your hands when you scrape the bottom of the barrel this hard. they started to go down when their food went to 100% frozen and they jacked the prices.

Your moms black cock you stupid faggot.

fast food places, which generally service a larger percentage of customers that either use the drive through or get food to go

>implying a ton of you didn't spend a large part of your childhood in McDonalds and Burger King
>implying you don't still have your Pokemon Happy Meal toys in the closet somewhere

>independently owned restaurants
so hipster

I really don't get why people get so wound up about parking.

Old Country Buffet is cool though because they don't microwave premade food packages and the atmosphere/music they play in there keeps out niggers and spics.

Tattoos on girls :/
Like putting bumper stickers on a bentley.

so stupid

If you count Red Robins as one then yea that's my exception. The food is seriously damn good tho, especially the burgs.

>so hipster
ever been served a club sandwich in a dustpan? shit gets real man.

It's the use of the term sit down. Its really weird

>implying nostalgia over a microwaved frozen meat patty and a shitty plastic toy made in China makes it ok to eat at McDonalds

I dr, but not b/c tl. I dr b/c idgaf. FYI...

>>applebees was ok
Well, there's your problem.

BWW
>loud and crowded
>muh sports
>ok wings

WingStop
>sports are on the TV but it isn't full of a bunch of fat 50 year olds with beer guts yelling at the TV
>top tier wings
>can actually have a conversation with people I'm eating with

Applebee's
>mediocre food for a high price
>expensive drinks
>shit service
>usally loud and full of football fags

Dennys
>decent food
>good prices
>good service
>literally no sports cucks

the stupid thing is I go to chickfila and it costs me $12. I go to red robin and it costs me $12. I take the kids to chickfila and it costs me about $22. I take the kids to red robin and it costs me about $22.

At red robin I get a waiter or waitress, generally shitty, more food, a bun (gluten allergy) and bottomless very bland fries (allergy fries have no seasoning). I have to beg to get enough napkins for the spawn.

Really it only varies when a) I take my wife and b) if you count the 20% tip but honestly I STILL go to red robin 3-5x as much as chickfila.

>the only other place I can eat without getting sick is a mediocre to bad pho place

it was called BURGER CHEF & JEFF back then you mong

Hell I remember when this brand new place came along called Hardees

>Millennials can't keep chains open
They are too busy spending twice as much at the local, trendy hipster establishment.

Murrikans can only walk 15 feet before they need to stop to catch their breath.

boring, overpriced, frozen garbage made by amateur cooks...

...

>Praising Dennys

I was made to believe that chain sucks. I take it that's just (((their))) opinion?

My wife and I eat at Denny's occasionally for the exact reasons you mentioned. Every other chain can go fuck themselves.

So the last 8 years of stagnant wages are Obama's fault... What about the 20+ that preceded it?

lmao i'm not going to bother finding the article but if any of those shitty ass restraunts blamed an age group instead of their shitty / over priced food they need to get their shit together

people eat out more and more each year.. If restraunts aren't capitalizing maybe they should rethink their menu

exactly that's what the handicapped mirror hanger is for

Who gives a shit if it was frozen? Do kids today think that causes cancer or something?

none of that is implied you stupid nigger. those things are probably true, but aren't relevant to the fact that no one is going to the places now. most of the people who grew up with that shit and are in their twenties now also grew up with the massive amount of media showing how shitty those places are

>m-muh millennials!!!!!
That's not how capitalism works. It's not the "fault" of anyone but themselves that their businesses are failing. If they're not providing a service that people want and spending more than they're earning, they deserve to go under.

What the fuck happened to "the customer is always right"? There's a reason that used to be fucking huge in business.

Really? All I've ever seen in there are niggers and old people....and retards. Like, literal retarded people. I don't understand why there are so many retarded people whenever I eat at Old Country Buffet.

Hah, fuck your expensive ass restaurants. I'm glad I'm learning how to prepare my own food at a fraction of the cost, and can even do variants on traditional favorites. It's all the sweeter that it's indirectly killing such garbage Western restaurants. I don't even have to 'tip' myself. Get fucked.

>But seriously, how the FUCK do you expect me to want/be able to pay $35+ per meal?
>I got responsibilities, bills, and shit. I don't live on social entitlements.

it does suck. i make better breakfasts for a lot cheaper. fuck denny's.

I used to live on dennys. best shit passed midnight. used to eat at 6 or 7 different dennys on our birthdays, then go back to the 3 closest after shift change.

then again I used to eat Taco Bell like it was food...

FPBP

A lot of people give a shit if it's frozen because that makes it taste less fresh. You got an extra chromosome or something?

they literally ignore the most basic thing to run a successful restaurant: good food. they keep focusing on "trends" and whats "hip" in reality they are blind to what is killing them and they will all fail.

>I don't live on social entitlements.

what do you call "off mom and dad" then?

>walking more than 15 feet to eat 2.5lbs of grease for $60

>scared of sports fans
>eats at diners filled with safe geriatric patrons
Jesus Christ you sound pathetic and whiny

you people are fucking stupid

Nah Denny's is pretty good, it's just the stigma comes from the people who eat the food rather then the food itself. Place seems to be a magnet for degenerates, pretty much like the people you see in Walmart are the people you see in Denny's.

>patronize a business you don't like so it can stay around for my pleasure
Yeah ok.

Maybe both his parents are really anti-social.

Fried
Peanut
Butter
P???
Pancakes?
Pockets?
What what is this not (J)elly for?

>fried PBJ da best

People I visit infrequently.

2/10.

Only a fool goes to franchises these days. Lower quality, higher price, poverty-wage slave employees that you have to pay for in tips. Just why even bother? Go to a fucking fast food place or make your food at home. Casual dining is retarded.

no you fucking mongrel, food that's frozen and then cooked tastes like garbage compared to freshly cooked food. have you ever eaten non frozen food or cooked a single time in your life?

Here's exactly why places like bww have no customers:
>Overpriced shitty meals.
>shitty service/customer service
>ugly or overweight waitresses
Seriously, why the fuck would I overpay for a low quality meal where I get shitty service from an entitled, ugly, waitress?
Hooters did it right about a decade ago. The food sucked and the prices blew dick, but the waitresses were ALL young and hot AND ridiculously friendly. I went in one about a year ago and Jesus they don't have standards anymore. It's the same across all of these shitty franchise restaurants. I'm not overpaying for food to look at bitchy fatasses.

don't worry, it will soon be a crime to not patronize a business. plebs shouldn't be allowed to interfere with their god given right to earn profit. -both democrats and republicans

I'd be impressed if those weren't google images. Did you learn to make manchuran ramen for yourself?

Same. At least 5x more retards than in the population there everytime.

#truth

There are really good reasons to freeze food.

>Hooter's
>good food
That place was the _summit_ of microwaved crap.

Why do Americans have such a fascination with peanut butter? I've tried it and it's fucking disgusting.

>Advertising still hasn't figured out how to advertise to Millennials, they are failing hard

As a millenial who worked in fast food myself, I will NEVER patronize any restaurant that pays their employees less than $15/hr no exceptions.

Which means I eat at home most of the time, or go to higher end more expensive specialty dining places with highly trained waiters. Obviously that's cost prohibitive to do often.

I also go to China Buffets sometimes too and tip very well. I despise these chain places who take advantage of their workers in the name of yet more unnecessary profit. Aren't these parasite CEO's paid enough?

Because you only ever ate garbage brands like Skippy's.

yeah if you want to keep it edible for longer, but the quality of the food still goes down after freezing it

>implying millenials have money

>Millennials
Exactly, Millennials are stupid and purposely overpay for their food.

>AND ridiculously friendly

hahaha you fucking fell for it

It would be funnier if it said " fast food chain kills millennials".

Black ANGUS...DOORS ARE LOCKED FROM THE OUTSIDE FAGGOT!

This
I was actually super disapointed

At least some of those places pay their employees somewhat properly. I like to eat at Whole Foods sometimes. I'd pick Whole Foods over any restaurant chain honestly. At least they make $12 per hour minimum.

It's a case of young people being more intelligent because of the internet, so they're much harder to screw financially.

I'm not using the desktop I normally use. Thus, I'm using what's saved on my external hard drive.

This, is OC.

you don't like peanuts?
or is it because you can't boil it?

Happy Hours in my local neighborhood trendy billard sports bar.

3 big Spicy Chicken Tenders and a heap of steak fries (pretty decent for deep fried foods) and 3 Pints of Guiness on tap for $17. my Gf only gets 2 Stella and chicken tenders fries combo too. $40 total for dinner, drinks for 2. Not bad for a 'date' Oh yeah, vicious sex immediately afterwards to sober her up before I send her home

You don't have either, so what does your opinion matter?

>I also go to China Buffets

implying those people are paid ANYTHING much less whatever minimum wage is these days

It's becasue everynoe is fucking poor so the only option is to dumpster dive to eat at home. Who the fuck can afford to go out to eat? The 1%? Cater to them then retards, not a middle class that no longer exists.

The price of the food goes down after freezing it. You will pay extra for fresh. The nutritional value is almost identical.

I don't think Hooter's really appeals to Millenial tastes anyway. It was probably a good idea in the 80s when the chain originally started.

He just said the food sucked. He said the only reason he went was because of the friendly waitresses.

>napkin says restaurant

ok fam

Did you know everything in applebees is microwaved. Now you know :)

Casual dining is good when you eat at home in the walls to try something you've never had before and don't think you'll ever make it.

Just the other day I ate at a place in Philly called the Blue Duck and had a burger made of boar and beef with duck. Motherfucking boar and duck. To top it off it was covered in srircha onions, bacon, and smoked gouda.

>mfw

Now I like to cook as much as the next culinary enthusiast, but that's not something I think I can pull off.
