Olive Garden will close on Christmas. Score one for conservatives

I'm off work for Christmas and will spend Christmas Day at my parents. My mother makes a great Christmas meal with plenty of homemade treats.

^^ The never ending culture wars between the left and the right, show the right starting to win some battles. Recently it was Cracker Barrel who was FORCED to stop their "changeover", bring back the old white guy and his barrel, get out of the "woke" business, and just go back to making good food. Their CEO is hanging on by a thread, by the way.

This time, it's Olive Garden who decided that the almighty dollar isn't quite as important this year, and they will close all of their restaurants for Christmas, and give their employees the day off. Nice job, OG.

From the article: Walmart, Target, Costco, and Trader Joe's, have also adopted Christmas Day closures.

Small wins, but they add up.

Some funny shit my man. Businesses close on Christmas because its financially beneficial to do so. They dont make enough money. It aint no culture battle genius. Enjoy the cheapseats cuz the view from there is obviously terrible.

The Cracker Barrel reaction was the funniest shit Ive ever seen from the bumpkin crew. The new logo was lame but to make it some white crime... ******* snowflakes. Imagine if there was prejudice against white folks they'd just melt into a puddle. Couldnt survive. Its like the largest collection of Karens got together and made a movement called 'conservatives'. LOL

Olive Garden is not closing out of respect for Christians.

They are doing it out of respect for their employees

No, they are not doing it for either of those reasons. They are doing it because they see there has been a backlash by conservatives. They saw what happened with Cracker Barrel. Obama/Biden/woke people are not in charge any longer. Trump won not only the electoral vote, but the popular vote as well. Conservatives are tired of this woke nonsense and are fighting back.

Maybe those employees want to work Christmas Day and make holiday pay?

Plus, I bet people tip real well when they eat out on Christmas Day

I would not bet on either one of those items.

Betting against people wanting to make money is a losing bet

Obviously, a lot of people want Christmas off, but saying all Olive Garden employees wanted it off is just stupid


When I was growing up, some years we’d celebrate Christmas on a day other than the 25th because one or both of my parents were working on the actual day

No one was traumatized, it wasn’t a big deal

Capitalists stay open for Christmas
All about profits over employees and their families
 
All my restaurant favorites are long gone. OG is somehow still hanging on. I ate there once in the 90s when my parents had a coupon or gift certificate.

I stay away from chain restaurants

I prefer patronizing local joints

Not buying that at all. If christmas day was lucrative, you can bet that businesses would be open. Capitalism is only about profits. It ends there.
 
Who wants to dine out on Christmas?

That's just weird

Damn. Closing for Christmas, giving employees the actual full holiday off allowing more to observe the actual holiday!

If this insanity keeps up, next thing you know, everything will be closed on Sundays again just as they were when I was growing up, and people will actually have to plan their lives to get by for ONE FRICKING DAY without some store to run to for a screw, a loaf of bread, or to eat out because they failed to plan.

Hell, here's a crazy idea--- with nothing else open, they might even consider going to church?

I guess it depends on one's home. My brother-in-law's home is like a Christmas winter wonderland that you'd never want to leave. His wife is an absolute nut when it comes to decorating their house. Santa's workshop could not look any better.

I swear they must fill their attic with xmas decorations just to store it all in the off season.

Capitalidm does NOT include morals. Its ONLY about making a buck. I support the right to open if one wants. Church is a choice, left for people to decide not what you think.

Midnight Mass, a couple of hours sleep and the fun begins. Family, food, gifts, etc. It's exhausting but so magical

Wouls you be thrilled to tell your family you're going to work on Christmas Day?

As someone who often works on Christmas Day....no. But I don’t make the batshit-crazy calculation that some sort of political ideology wins or loses if they do.
