I will not miss the writhing agony of allnight heartburn that followed.

This is a good news for many who hate chain restaurants and those who love anything that’s high priced organic ingredients. The corporation haters also should also celebrate people losing jobs while looking down at these jobs from their comfortable desk while surfing the internet on their iMac or any Mac variants, victims.

This is a great news for those who hate private capitalism, hurray! It’s great news for the state capitalists.

Why is God so cruel?

Where am I going to get my Monte Cristo sandwich now?

I’m not terribly sad to see Bennigan’s go. The only pleasant memory I have of them is my brother working there in the mid-1990s and sneaking me appetizers all the time. They might not have been good, but they were free!

They had run their course, but there was surely a better way of letting their poor employees know than *this* debacle.

I love the picture you chose, BTW. Fits your headline perfectly! :)

They’ll just take all there locations (which were leases) and turn them over into new restaurants.

As part of the bankruptcy, they’ll probably re-name and rehire people (at a lower wage) and be back as something new.

Circuit City did something similar by firing all the $11 per hour employees and and offering to rehire at $7 or less. So there is a precedent.
