I see them as the uncaring rich among us and the worst of American character. I know they are too wealthy (classy) to eat there, but if you read the story closely, for many people, Red Lobster was a huge night out from their normal existence

I am far from a liberal, but I agree with this sentiment, but not from an economic standpoint or from caring about Red Lobster.

What bothers me tremendously is making fun of the people that enjoy a particular place/food. I don't go to RL, and don't have any problem with the criticism of the restaurant, its food or its practices.

I just can't stand the elitist, "I am better than those people because I don't eat at ______" attitude.
