re: How does Red Lobster remain open?

It caters to low income people. Also, it caters to people who don't know what good food is.

I was shocked that the one in Metairie lasted as long as it did. Who would want to go to a seafood chain when the authentic stuff is all within a 10 minute drive? Also, Drago's is down the street with much better lobsters.

Worked there in ‘92. Was originally hired as a bartender but had to bus tables for 2 weeks until the bartender that thought he was quitting actually quit. That’s how I learned the skills to snag a partially eaten lobster. Plus, we used to have biscuit wars with those biscuits y’all love so much. It would be the bus boys vs the servers. We always won. That was some fun shite working there but bartending at probably the busiest RL in North America was a challenge on a busy Saturday night. Literally everybody was fricking everybody at that place.

Yeah I agree with the everybody frickin. We wouldn't have worked together I was about 10 years later.

I remember we would grab lobsters out of the tank and go sneak up behind a girl who was keying in something on the computer and when she turned around there was lobster legs in her face. Also seen two girls swallow a beating lobster heart after they were cut open, I guess just trying to impress the guys.

I ended up getting fired from there for "being a racist" which was bs. I was friends with this black girl and she would come drinking with us. One day she came into work drunk and they fired her but she said the reason she drank was because "David made racist jokes".

Anyways it turned out to be a good thing. I got a job at the Warehouse No 1 right after that and it was a much better place to work.

When I go to a fish house, I eat catfish. When I go to a seafood restaurant, I eat seafood.

I never been to one, but I don't know how they stay open in South Louisiana. I refuse to eat seafood at a chain restaurant.

It has to be better than Crab Shack. I went there many years ago and I swore to never go back. It really is stupid to go to a chain seafood restaurant in S.LA. The food just sucked.
