I’m not saying arson is a solution. But when this kind of stuff happens. . .

I mean, it is a solution.

It's not a particularly well thought out or constructive one, but technically, it is a solution.

I left for a week and came back to like a shit ton of awesome new servers. A few hot messes. I asked “these guys are great! Where did they all come from?” Apparently a beloved regular died and they all asked off for the funeral. No one was given off, told since it wasn’t family this was a bullshit excuse to party or something. They all walked out and went to the funeral, all got fired. We got them and it changed our restaurant for the better for years after.

But I really thought Outback Steakhouse was gonna burn down mysteriously. I mean, it was an open discussion and I thought was gonna have to pretend to have heard none of it in an official statement.
