Remember the goon who got shot to death by cops for pulling a dine and dash at Denny's (alone) and when his parents learned that their young son had just been brutally murdered over $20 of poo poo food they were like "well, the officer did what he had to do, god bless him"

That's my favourite Dennys story

I remember when Pizza Hut used to be this huge place people would have parties at or get together at after a tee ball game and they would be packed out with customers and now they're these tiny things that look like a place you'd buy prepaid phone cards from. What the hell happened?

red lobster isnt that bad tbh. i live in boston and we have plenty of places to go, so the only time ive been to red lobster was during a trip to orlando.

but it wasnt bad

however: see my earlier posts re: red lobster bc thats also true. its not a problem but its just weird/depressing imo

i'm sitting indian style on my mattress that is on the floor in my room eating a bag of kroger brand salt and vinegar chips and a bag of chocolate flipz pretzels with a bottle of cream soda. all i had to eat today prior is a pack of ramen and a little debbie's boston creme roll, so this is my dinner. i'm listening to a video game podcast while browsing gbs. my weekend just started (tues/wed off work) and this is likely the peak.

Eating the daily lunch special sitting by yourself on a stool at the bar, desperately trying to unload your woes onto the bartender, who keeps trying to look super busy despite there being only two other patrons in the venue. With each awkward piece of small-talk the bartender throws your way out of pity, you try to steer the conversation back to your troubles. "Ha, if you think the weather today is bitter, you've never met my ex-wife", "you remind me of my daughter. She'd be about your age by now... wonder how she's doing", "this salad reminds me of my parents fighting. They're dead by now, of course". The bartender excuses herself and makes a longer-than-necessary lap of the near-empty floor, wiping unused tables and adjusting furniture. She clears your plate, keeping her arms fully outstretched, making sure not to get any closer than she has to. When she returns, it is apparent that the backbar is in desperate need of dusting, as she turns her back to you and begins pulling the bottles off the shelf, meticulously wiping each of them down. This continues for half an hour as you sip at your OJ (or 'virgin screwdriver' as you jokingly ordered it as, heh heh). You look at her reflection in the mirrored shelving... she really does look like Rachel... You haven't seen her or her mother in 18 years... You haven't had a drink since the day after, but hell, it's your 50th, the big five-oh.

At one of the peaks of depression/alcoholism, I woke up at 4pm on a Monday, lay down on the couch staring at the wall, shaking and cold-sweating for several hours until the hunger pangs finally motivated me to make the 90-second walk to my local pub. I can't remember if I wore shoes. They were doing a 2-for-1 steak night, so I ordered 2. I started overthinking things, and ordered two pints as well in some misguided attempt to make it look like I was ordering ahead for some imaginary friend who would be joining me. I sat down at a table for two in the middle of the room (and was the only person in a 60-seat dining room), with one pint on either side of the table. When the food came out, I started feeling even more self-conscious and awkward, like the staff would be thinking I'd been stood up. So I ate both meals and drank both pints in about 5 minutes and made a hasty exit, stopping by the bottle shop for some of the sweet, sweet rum that I knew would make everything ok.

P Hut was p cool back in the day. You could go there with your family and use your Book It! certificate for a free PERSONAL pizza, and drink all the Pepsi you wanted out of their cool red glasses. Also, tons of free 'toppings' at the table like red pepper, cheese, and garlic. P awesome, also went there with my hs gf before we lost our v cards, so really a good place if you ask me.

IIRC there was always deep dish pepperoni and deep dish sausage and 4-5 other kinds, they keep pizzas coming constantly and you can ask the pizza bringers for whatever you want and they'll see that it gets made next. When you saw a guy bringing a taco pizza or the dessert pizzas which were like giant fruit danishes you knew a fattie stampede was imminent.

Pizza Hut was pretty nice back in the day. You go there with your family, get a free personal pan pizza with your Book It! certificate, and you drank all the Pepsi you wanted out of classy red plastic glasses. Also, there were a ton of free "toppings" at the table- red pepper, garlic, cheeses, you name it, they had it.

I took my old high school sweetheart there the night we lost our virginity, so really it only brings back good memories for me.

Now everything has changed. The companies only care about profits and share holders now, not the pizza anymore.
