Well shite on a dick... I haven't been to a Chili's in over a decade, but might have to change things up.

They buy and want immediate profits so they peel away as much money as they can buy unloading whatever, real estate, debt etc.

Short term gains-nothing long term and no stability. Lot of debt

What's wrong with that? I thought it was our duty bestowed by God himself to always seek maximum profit for the owners before anything else.

Chili's is one of the only restaurants nowadays, including chains, where it doesn't feel like they're ripping me off when I go there.

It feels affordable, there's good deals, and the quality is pretty good.

I get it, inflation went up after the pandemic. But, what's going on right now isn't acceptable. I've even called out a restaurant before, "Hey, just so you know, I noticed the price went up."

And frankly, since the prices in that restaurant increased, I've noticed that, naturally, I've stopped going there as much.

The service at the Chili’s near me is slow being they are a little understaffed, but the food is good and the prices pretty decent. We order pickup from there every couple weeks.

There is a Chili's not far from my house and every time I pass by, the parking lot seems to have a lot of cars in it. Must be doing something right over there.

They ruined the chicken crisper recipe, not as good as it was 10 years ago - new recipe sucks
