Get their marketing department on this.

 

Our customers will go to great lengths to get their hands on our delicious steaks!

I'd rather eat a raw bat than go to Golden Corral.

Gettleman really should have taken a few months off before taking this food security thing on the road...

This would make for a great Jerry Springer episode.

I used to have a bunch of chain restaurants as clients (building material supplier).  Nationally there was almost no one that actually wanted to eat at their own restaurant brand.  I had two exceptions - one Red Lobster guy who loved RL and never wanted to go anywhere else. And every freaking meeting involving any Golden Corral franchisee ever.  Notably the people at the GC corporate office had a phenomenal Mexican restaurant they loved going to.  Still the best molé sauce I’ve had in the states.

 

Those GC luncheons were the worst.  Food that was as embarrassing in its quantity as it was its quality (though inversely related).  There was just so much of it and it was all so bad.  The franchise owners I met all seemed to think it was great though.  I usually just made myself a salad and told them I was dieting.  Unsweetened Iced Tea (North only) or water (South) sold that story.

Tangent:  Speaking of iced tea, I remember the first time I got a Sweet Tea in the South.  I was totally unprepared for it.  Diabetes in a red 32 oz plastic glass served by an absolutely delightful young woman.  I could not believe how overwhelmingly sweet it was.  My boss saw the look on my face and just laughed at me.

It would've been fun flinging mashed potatoes at the brawlers with a large serving spoon.

Say they did run out of "steak" would they offer a refund?

 

I guess starting a riot is a bit harsh... 😏

Same experience with sweet tea at a ribs place in NC. Like… I could feel all my teeth roots jittering in one instant.

This particular restaurant (it's just outside Bensalem) often requires security guards.  True story.  The police know it well.  

 

It's what you could call...a "nuisance" buffet.

just to add a bit more perspective, i have since heard that this was not about the restaurant running out of steak, but that someone got their steak before someone else who had ordered it first.   i have no idea if this is true...do they have steaks to order at GC?

I remember making sweet tea when I worked at Wendy's pouring bags of sugar into a plastic ice bucket with tea and stirring up the sugar sludge it initially becomes on the bottom.

That sounds about right.
