Kamala's legacy: Last Denny's diner in San Francisco closes due to "plague of crime"

[AMart]

Everyone knows who is responsible for this, it's the blacks and browns.

 

[candycorn]

Her policies. Duh...

Which polices of the VP causes a denny's to close in San Francisco vs the Denny's in Miami for example.

She was instrumental in beginning the soft on crime policies when she was the SF DA. Duh.

Damn you are ignorant.

Denny's has been in decline for years, mostly because their food sucks.

Denny’s is still shrinking

The chain's system has contracted 9% since 2017, and may shrink again in 2024 as the company forecasts comparable sales growth between 0% and 3%.

• Denny’s closed 57 units in 2023, for a net decrease of 29 units, according to the chain’s most recent earnings release.
• It now takes $1.2 million in annual sales for a Denny’s unit to be profitable enough to sustain itself, up from $1 million, Denny’s Chief Financial Officer Robert Verostek said on the chain’s earnings call last week.
• In response to an analyst’s question, Verostek said that the average sales of the lowest quintile of stores outpaced the $1.2 million annual target, meaning that a low percentage of Denny’s units are below the break point for closures. According to the chain’s earnings release, Denny’s anticipates net unit closures of 10 to 20 units in 2024, which would slow the rate of closure relative to 2023.

A better criticism came from this guy.



Denny's is the place where you show up after a night of drinking. Nobody goes there for the food.

Hmm, so you're saying at least 57 Denny's closed due to Biden/Harris policies?

That was like 20 years ago ex mod. You'd figure the Dennys would have closed then

A number of working-class folks are now out of a job, because California has a love affair with criminals.

I feel for the employees who lost their jobs, and the loss of business for the owners and suppliers. California is beyond hope, and my only wish is that the collapse is swift and complete, so they can rebuild at some point.



The last remaining Denny’s in San Francisco closed its doors this month because customers would frequently leave without paying their bill in the crime-plagued city, according to the restaurant’s owner.

Chris Haque shuttered the 24-hour diner at 816 Mission St. near the Union Square section on Aug. 1 after 25 years.

“We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Haque told SFGATE.

“The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them.”

Harris left SanFrancisco in 2011, when she became for State AG. How is Harris responsible for crime in that city 13 years later????

She began the soft on crime policies you dummy

 

[LeftofLeft]

Racist ass Denny's should have been bankrupt since the early to mid-90's.

It’s not just Denny’s pulling out of San Francisco. Retailers and chain restaurants don’t want to be in urban areas where they can’t control crime.

Go back to my previous point. They closed 57 locations in the last year.

Really? A whole 57 locations you say?

There are 1,530 Dennys restaurants in the United States as of May 01, 2024.

Number of Denny's locations in the USA in 2025 | ScrapeHero

There are 1,366 Dennys locations in the United States as of January 23, 2025. The state/territory with the most number of Dennys locations in the US is California with 363 locations, which is 26% of all Dennys locations in America.

Yeah, they deserve to be robbed.

You cater to a lower class of clientele; you accept a certain level of risk.

But again, I suspect they are going out of business because their food sucks and the chain is in a well-deserved decline.

Or as one Comedian Put it "You ever notice no one ever goes to Denny's, they just end up there. Complaining the food isn't good is like going to a whorehouse and saying you didn't feel loved."

Which is down from where they were. I know that locations in Addison, Schaumburg, Mt. Prospect have all closed in the last decade.

I thought you were a Christian.

Why don't you ever bother to find out the truth before you parrot Republican lies and bullshit. She LOWERED CRIME AND RECIDIVISM RATES throughout the state, you ignorant dolt. Her policies were adopted across the nation.

Every trime you repeat the lies the Trump Cult, you prove to us how stupid you truly are.

Doesn't matter.

The Repub party has a love affair with the convicted criminal known as Individual 1 in the Cohen indictment. Harris has an established record as AG of CA proving she is not soft on crime.

She "lowered crime" by not prosecuting it, you dolt.

No she did not

You are oiut of touch, She increased both but merely changed how it is counted thereby claiming she lowered it. when the state ignores crime they artificially claim it is lowered

this is not a trump claim

wherever her policies are adopted crime has increased.
