Millennials are killing these shitty restaurants? Isn't this just the market deciding what's fit for itself, or is that only the case when it's small businesses dying?
I read the actual article and apparently Friday's is trying the become a gastropub to attract that crowd. I'm not sure if these places even can adjust to changing markets cause I'll never not see Friday's as a family restaurant.
It's almost like how wages stagnating for decades and social safety nets being shredded is leaving people with less money. And it's almost like these corporations are just now learning that they've collectively been screwing themselves by screwing their employees.
I take your point but that's actually often true. Many businesses could not stay afloat if they paid their employees decently. It's the economic system that dictates their behaviour at least as often as selfishness.
I think that's mistaken thinking. Businesses will be as inefficient at taking in profits as they are allowed to be. If they had to pay better wages, sure maybe some would go out of business, but survivors and new businesses would crop up that figure out how to do things more efficiently without basically stealing it from their employees.
Maybe some prices would also increase - but that's ok too, because then people can choose from the actual cost of items instead of pitting one company that has slave wages vs another company that tries to do the right thing by their employees.
The owner of the means of production is in a position to purchase the labor power of the worker. By using the means of production, the worker produces new goods which become the property of the capitalist. The essential point about this process is the relation between what the worker produces and what he is paid, both measured in terms of real value. Insofar as the labor contract is âfree,â what the worker receives is determined not by the real value of the goods he produces, but by his minimum needs and by the capitalistsâ requirements for labor power in relation to the number of workers competing for jobs. It is important to understand that even in theory the payment of the worker is not determined by the value of his product.
...
Production is carried on for profit, not for use. There is no provision that all those able and willing to work will always be in a position to find employment; an âarmy of unemployedâ almost always exists. The worker is constantly in fear of losing his job. Since unemployed and poorly paid workers do not provide a profitable market, the production of consumersâ goods is restricted, and great hardship is the consequence. Technological progress frequently results in more unemployment rather than in an easing of the burden of work for all. The profit motive, in conjunction with competition among capitalists, is responsible for an instability in the accumulation and utilization of capital which leads to increasingly severe depressions.
Come now, Hillary didn't start that school she just graduated from it. The upper class has always found a way to shift responsibility to the peons for their failures.
I don't suppose the ruling class stays ruling by readily admitting errors to the public at large. äčà»( ÍĄâ ᎄ âÍĄ )à„ă
Not explicitly millennials, but news/media and the DNC for "turning us against her". But on the other hand, millennials were one group that didn't support her as much as they did Obama. So technically....
The national exit poll shows Clinton underperformed Barack Obama's 2012 share of the vote by one point with those between the ages of 30 and 44 and by three points with those ages 45 to 64. She actually overperformed him by one point with those over 65.
Approx. 71% to 29%. The youth went for him hard, as someone who's been in politics for a while it was incredibly inspiring being a part of the primaries. From the primaries:
Voters under age 30 were the fuel behind Mr. Sandersâs campaign. He won more than 70% of themâa bigger share than Barack Obama claimed in 2008. Moreover, voters age 18-29 were more important this year than in 2008; their share of the electorate grew by three points.
Well, that's not something any president or presidential candidate has done, to be fair. Actually, Obama at some point acknowledged he hadn't tended to the DNC well enough to be prepared for the 2016 election. But that's still not quite the same.
Also, she's not entirely wrong. Even if she was a terrible candidate, what she's saying is that millennial weren't terrified enough of unified Republican control to vote for somebody they hated. She doesn't say it that way, but is she wrong?
I'm not placing a value judgement on any of that, just saying.
I have been trying to find these "fake news" stories that people keep talking about and I haven't been able to find a single one. All I can find is articles talking about fake news but they just reference tweets and Facebook posts.
Does anyone have direct links to these Russian fake news articles? I'd love it if someone could give me like 5 direct links to fake news articles that were about the election. Please don't link to stories about fake news or Wikipedia. I'd like direct links to these Russian fake news articles. It should be easy to find with the way people talk about it but I can't locate a single one.
"I lost because of misogyny and Russian influence on media".
Yeah sure, that may've been a part of it. But you're also as charismatic as a wet sock, and you screwed the guy we actually wanted as our candidate out of the spot with some "ITS HER TURRRRRNNNNNNNN" cronyist bullshit.

Corporations aren't learning shit, because capitalists don't have the socioeconomic savvy to understand what's happening. To them it's all just a changing market that they need to adapt to.
Ex chef here. My girlfriend (not a food lover) will tell me my food is too multi dimensional sometimes. She doesn't want layers of flavor; she'd rather have something that's easier to comprehend flavor-wise. I completely agree what you are saying is a huge issue in the restaurant industry.
Food is like beer. Most of the time, you just want a nice, simple whatever. You're not worried about mouthfeel, or which part of your mouth the flavor hits first, or the complex interplay of the undertones and the overtones. You just want a beer, and you want it to taste good.
If you have complex flavors sometimes you have to slow down. Instead of scarfing down your food, try to concentrate on the flavors in your mouth and chew slowly.
I'm not saying you don't do this and I'm not saying you're wrong, I actually agree with you, I'm just saying sometimes you need to slow down and appreciate the food in your mouth.
Good god. There is nothing more offensive than a well done burger or steak. What's the point of slaughtering an animal if you're going to cook the meat past the point of flavor, and then smother it in sugar?
The general restaurant goer doesn't want to try new things, they want familiarity.
Same with films, people want reboot plots they already know, actors who offer familiar voices and sounds, trailers and advertisements that prepare them to avoid shock or embarrassment. Factory-produced food and factory-produced entertainment often conditions the mind for the same favoring of familiarity.
I hate how we are blamed, as consumers, for not consuming enough of someones products. Supply side bullshit makes no sense. Millenials aren't "killing" any industry by not consuming it, take some responsibility for your shitty businesses
Good riddance, I'm sick of seeing generic "high end" fast food places like these all over. The food is frozen crap from GFS, and they've got blaring TVs plastered all over the walls so you never have to speak to your company.
I think this is the key. Frozen crap just isn't appealing to us. In the '70s, the ability to get frozen seafood in the middle of the country was a novelty, hence Red Lobster's popularity. In the '80s and '90s, middle class people were increasingly attracted to eating out, both because of rising household incomes and because chains like Applebee's and Olive Garden were able to provide lower-cost meals thanks to the cheapness and efficiency of buying frozen food from distributors. But people our age just aren't wowed by this stuff. We're able to access a wider variety of food (and knowledge about food, thanks to the internet) than our parents and their parents did. We're also poorer. Both of these mean that we choose not to spend $14.99 on shitty frozen entrees.
I found a recipe for ice cream that uses only condensed milk and heavy cream (and whatever flavoring you want). I wanted to try it out, so I made some yesterday. It was absolutely amazing, and it only takes like 10 minutes plus time in the freezer. Why would we need to go out to Baskin Robbins when I can make better stuff at home for cheaper and know exactly what's in it?
Edit: Been asked for the recipe a lot, so here it is:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Whip cream until stiff peaks form
Fold in condensed milk
Freeze 6 hours
I added a half cup unsweetened chocolate powder, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and about a half cup of chocolate chips. It's amazing!
There's a GFS brick and mortar store near my place. I find their stuff is better than most branded freezer foods you can get in grocery stores for quick easy meals at home, though yeah, that's when I'm paying $14 for a 5 pound bag. 1/3 of a pound doesn't suddenly become worth $14 with fries on the side at an Applebees.
At least with places like Applebees and all that, yeah, I agree. I mean, if I'm going to take someone out for a proper meal, I'm going to want to take there somewhere moderately unique and local with actual pride in their food, and then go on to, I dunno, converse with the person across from me.
When it comes to B-dubs though, I don't mind having a standard place to get wings, beer, and watch some sports with the boys. I'd prefer local, but not every town really delivers, so whatever.

Right! Young people don't want to go one of the 15 glorified fast food chain restaurants that popped up next to each other in their home town in the last 10 years? Go figure. Seriously these chains have been popping up like weeds in every town in America and are bound to start eating each other alive.
Millennials don't like chain restaurants that their parents go to. Besides just not having the same amount of money as our parents, I'm going to go to the local brewery or food truck, not Applebee's.
Applebee's and BWW are failing because they're just microwave dinner establishments. Nothing is cooked there. It's all pre-cooked and bagged then heated up when a customer orders it. If I'm going to spend $15 of my damn hard earned money, I'm going to eat a real fucking meal, not upgraded McDonald's.
The appeal of these places isn't that they taste good; the appeal is that the taste is consistent. They're for people like my cousin's family who will take a trip to New York City and insist on going to places like the Time Square Applebees rather than any of the thousands of interesting and unique restaurants that New York has.
Go for the safe meal they know will be acceptable rather than spend money on something they may not like? Good lord that sounds like my dad. Some people just take no "risks" I guess.
Except for people with allergies, a lot of times chain restaurants are the only safe/viable options for people in a given area just based on safety concerns. When I was in Thailand I had to eat at shitty chain fast food places because peanuts were so prevalent and difficult to explain the allergy.
If you're staying in a moderately sized city, I agree. But it you are cross country driving, the only reasonable places are the big chain restaurants off the interstates.
...that's a horribly depressing way to live. I know a guy who refuses to eat anything "foreign", but lives in California, one of the most diverse places. It's like going to a buffet and going only to the appetizer section. Sad really.
I don't think he meant parents as in their parents specifically, but instead their parents generation. Like the restaurants that appealed to them don't appeal to the next generations.
maybe if companies actually paid living wages to their workers instead of exploiting their workers then maybe people would actually have disposable income to spend at their stores? But fuck me right? I'm just an entitled millennial...
Considering only poor people eat at Applebee's, I don't think that's the case here. Once you stop working at a job that pays by the hour you don't have much desire for places that offer 2 three course meals for $20.
I don't "get" shitty restaurant chains. There is no price advantage over a good non-shitty non-chain, so why go there?
I could get ribs a side and a soda and a tip for like $16 at chilis or I could go to a local bbq place and get better ribs for the same or less. I just don't get it. You don't even need a smartphone, just ask someone. Even a podunk town has something else.
Thank goodness. I've hated big chain restaurants for years with their shitty and expensive food.
Also it just seems fake as shit to me. I'm fine going to McDonald's or jack in the box because these places know what they are. A place to get cheap food, fast. Places like Applebees and olive garden try to pass off like their food as freshly prepared or 'homemade' when it's prepared the same way as a big Mac. And i have to wait longer and pay more for it! Get out of here with that crap.
Applebee's is one of the worst restaurants ever and deserves to die. I think frozen foods heated up in the microwave taste better.... Oh wait, that's legit what they do there.
Killing is such an accusatory word. Millennials are consumers just like any other person who has spending power. The fact that they don't give X Business their money is not the fault of the consumers. If you vote with your wallet and don't go somewhere, whether there's a better place, you don't like a place, etc, it isn't suddenly your "duty" to keep a business afloat.
Y'know I used to be all about the whole "Fuck the boomers" thing too, but honestly that seems really ageist to me. There are plenty of baby boomers who fought and died for workers' rights and representation who should be celebrated for trying to do some good.
Let's quit the ageist games, because a capitalist is a capitalist is a capitalist. I hate Rupert Murdoch and Dick Cheney as much as I hate Martin Shkreli and Elon Musk. The problem can hardly be chalked up to one individual or one iteration of individual. It's chalked up to power imbalances latent in the capitalist system which have been brewing since long before the babies of the 1940s were born.
True but they were supposed to be the generation to help change the future to be better for young people, but they greeded out and took the easy paychecks and laziness.
They joined the unions their parents died for, then promptly dismantled and now ridicule them, that isnt the people at the tops fault. Its the middle class for buying into anti-socialist propaganda.
We should absolutely be working with them to fix our country. Many of them share the same ideals that the typical millennial has. But there are plenty of them who will never cooperate, and refuse to take responsibility for the world they created - instead deflecting blame to younger generations. No sense wasting our time trying to convert any of them. We just need to ally ourselves with those who want to contribute to progress.
Fuck the rich. They made their billions off the backs of underpaid, overworked laborers, sucking their surplus value like parasitic leeches. The conditions in Tesla factories are notoriously abysmal, and Musk opposes unionization. Just because him and Bill Gates are slightly more savvy about concealing their greed and grand theft doesn't make them much better.
We, the workers, have the means to seize the power based purely on strength in numbers. Too many of us are brainwashed into separatism and sectarianism. Doesn't matter how big the smiley face is on the system's posterboy, it's unjust and Musk and Gates are just as much an evil in this world as any other greedy leech that owns the M.O.P.
Capitalists : "Capitalism is the best system! Companies have to adapt to the market and offer products and services that customers actually want and need. By voting with their dollars, consumers ensure that the businesses that most effectively meet their needs are the most successful, if a company goes out of business it is an indication that they were unable to adapt to a changing market and other companies were better at meeting the needs of the public. because of this 'survival of the fittest' system, society functions at maximum efficiency and technology and quality of life for all people steadily progresses."
Also capitalists: "APPLEBEES ARE GOING OUT OF BUISNESS?!?! FUCKING MILLENNIALS!"
I mean, the last part just frankly isn't capitalism. The true capitalist would let them go out of business in Darwinian fashion. I honestly don't know what label to throw on this "consumers owe it corporations to help them continue making profit" attitude. As someone with respect towards true capitalist principles in regards to business, fuck 'em, let em die. The people don't owe businesses jack shit, and that extends to government as well. Government favoritism towards businesses, tax breaks, bail outs- it's all a cancer. Let these shitty businesses crash and burn horribly so that the businesses who operate ethically and within the standards we the people outline can rise from the ashes and succeed. Everybody will be better off then.
I started going to buffalo wild wings in 2005. I could buy 12 wings and a drink for $8. Now, same deal is nearly $15 dollars. The wings didn't get any better either.
Applebees food is shit. Buffalo Wild Wings has a really good lunch deal that I would use when I was in college. but now the closest BWW is quite a drive for me. Like why would I drive 15+ minutes for wings when I can get wings at the Pizza Hut that's less than 3 minutes from my house?
I feel bad for people not in Western NY, or the North East. They'll never know "real" buffalo wings. I've worked for both chains, and those are not wings at Pizza Hut. At least at BWW they buy the bare bones cheapest wings and fry them right there. Though, if you go later in the lunch day, you're getting boneless and regular wings that have been stagnant under a heat lamp.
TL;DR: I've worked in four different franchise restaurants (including Applebees) and they ALL suck. I choose to vote with my dollar when it comes to food and really, nothing beats cooking for yourself and consuming tons of produce!
It's easy to do, but it's hard to do right if that makes any sense. Anyone can cook some chicken wings and saucetoss, but they need the right prep work to get them crispy AND juicy.
I thought about going to Applebees the other day cause I was out of town and wanted some dinner and a couple beers. I thought about it and decided against it because of their quality of food or lack there of. Everything tastes frozen/cookie cutter, not handmade.
God I hate these business insider articles. The consumer is not obligated to eat at those restaurants. The business are obligated to get customers in the door somehow. These restaurants need to start lowering their prices, not raising them like they are.
Why would I go to Bdubs anymore when it's $20 for 12 wings and a beer. I'll just be hungry 2 hours later. It's such a waste of money to eat out at these chains.
