Red Lobster eyes bankruptcy option after $11M in losses from endless shrimp
“Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed "Ultimate Endless Shrimp" deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023.”

I can’t deal with this because being next to water doesn’t make a seafood restaurant make sense. There’s no fish on those docks! It means nothing. I don’t get it.


There is a fish market there. Duh.

Ivy City Smokehouse is pretty good - it’s owned by Profish the wholesaler (which is across the street and very stinky). Profish is famous for having its owners go to jail for rockfish poaching but also who cares, fish is fish i guess.

Joe Biden is closing them down now!
Trump would’ve bailed them out and kept them in business, very sad day in America almost like 9-11

After you are done there you can check out the TJ Maxx nearby which is actually the best one in the tri state area (I’m actually not joking).


let's hear more about this TJ Maxx!


It’s in an iffy shopping center but I scored most of my favorite clothing pieces there as well as a $150 Breville toaster. I browse the “outside” racks where they put the newer clothes and don’t bother with the other stuff. Also they have cute shoes sometimes. The TJ Maxx in Bowie isn’t bad either. TJ Maxxes in Virginia are garbage next to them both.

When you’re done there, swing by the nearby Costco for the most easy breezy relaxing Costco experience of your life. Seriously, it’s the only uncrowded Costco I’ve ever been to. And the people are more relaxed and polite.

Next to that Costco is a Nordstrom Rack that isn’t that great, but has all the bras for busty ladies at a deep discount. I’ve gotten all my favorite bras from there.

Thrifty shopper Virginia bonus round: the Talbots outlet in Springfield. I’ve found so many lovely basics at this store for $30 or less. When I had to go to the office it was my place for blazers and office wear.


Now that I know you shop at Talbot's the rest of your shopping hints mean nothing to me.


And Talbot’s outlet, no less…


Just quit it with the Talbot's hate. It's one of the few stores that still stocks clothes that can be washed or dry cleaned a few times without fading, getting pinholes, etc. And they have decent T-shirt cuts (literally).

And I remember in the 90s buying some very nice Irish and Icelandic wool sweaters at TJ Maxx. Now they don't have quality European clothes any more. Just no-name brands and a little Tahari, Calvin Klein, and Michael Kors in my area. I don't bother to look anymore.

lol …the contrast between Red Lobster & Del Mar is sending me over the edge. Its like trying to re-direct some trailer park person who wants to find a Walmart to instead go to the nearest Saks!


How many trailer parks are in wards 1-5?

LMAO you think someone who frequents Red Lobster can "shell" out for Del Mar??


Yes. Most people on DCUM can definitely shell out for Del Mar


I guarantee you that your average Red Lobster customer is not forking out Salt Line prices. No way.
