‘F*ck you. You are cheap’: Former Red Lobster employee slams customers who order all-you-can-eat shrimp - The Daily Dot

One of the biggest criticisms of all-you-can-eat restaurants and menu options is that the food customers are being served is not of the highest quality. While there are some that would argue the moniker itself is indicative of the type of grub patrons can expect at the establishments they're frequenting, there are others who have expressed their displeasure at the kind of rations they've received under this dining option.

Nonetheless, there are still many popular eateries that offer all-you-can-eat options, such as Red Lobster, which has a $21.99 endless shrimp promotion. This is something that TikToker @ddperez4 took full advantage of while visiting one of the chain's locations.

In the clip, several shots of various shrimp plates prepared in different ways are featured. Some of the plates show the remnants of already-consumed meals, while others show them before they've been dug into.

Another TikToker, James E. (@mrjellis_), said they worked at Red Lobster and strongly disliked serving customers who would order unlimited shrimp and had some strong words for anyone who did.

"As someone that worked at Red Lobster as a server receiving a guest that ordered unlimited shrimp, fuck you. You are cheap; you didn't get my extras up, and you're fucking worrisome," James said.

The Daily Dot has reached out to James via TikTok comment and Red Lobster via email.

Folks who worked in the food service industry concurred with James' assessment of all-you-can-eat customers, with some alleging they were generally poor tippers.

@serans_ said, "It's like the people at Olive Garden who only get soup and salad an get 10 refills just just to tip $2 for 2+ hours of service it was horrible."

Another TikTok, @twobardsonemonk shared their strategy for dealing with customers who order unlimited meal options. "Back when I was a server doing the unlimited riblets at applebees Id just massively increase the time between when I came back," they claimed.

Some countered the notion that all-you-can-eat customers are poor tippers, claiming that if they're sending the server back and forth to get more food for them, they always make sure to leave them a large tip for their continued service throughout the course of their meal.

"Dude if I'm getting unlimited shrimp for $21.99 I'm leaving the fattest tip I can," @hootywithaknife commented.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu...

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles. From one year...
