Twitter users promptly roasted the company for its low wages and reliance on tips

The #brands these days love to have fun online. Goofing around on Twitter with memes and weird jokes is one of the primary ways to drum up business, it seems. Denny’s, which boldly proclaims itself to be “America’s diner,” has put a fewgoodtweets out there in its time, but the company forgot an important law of the internet. No matter how good the social media team may be, brands eventually get roasted for bad content in one form or another.

Take that, garbage tippers! The problem, as a number of Twitter users have noted, is that Denny’s has a history of fighting for lower pay for its employees. Denny’s servers earn an average of $5.43 per hour, according to employment recruiting site Glassdoor, and line cooks make an average of $11.12 per hour.

4. Sambo's Was Racist As Shit When I Was A Kid...

All the 'Little Black Sambo' displays on the walls. I kind of remember the tiger butter though.

5. Yeah I remember them and when the backlash started

As you probabaly remember (especially if you grew up in the South) rebel flags were still okay but Sambos was SO offensive that it was part of the reason they went bankrupt.

Seriously the Sambos thing was the earliest I remember hearing the perspective of black America.

2. We can call out both low wages and shitty tippers...
