The Hug Heard Round the World! (a message from Bill Penzey of Penzeys Spices)

36. I assume too much.

Just so you understand my reference:

Red Lobster came up with an “All You Can Eat” shrimp promotion, any style, 7 days a week. Someone in their financial department must have been a trump U graduate, because it was obvious what the ceiling on a business prop like that was going to be. Like the “victim of their own success”, (and tfg once did ironically enough) they are now going through bankruptcy proceedings and it’s looking grim.

For my part, I avoided them because of their inattention to bycatch policies. Not too much an inconvenience, since there are no RL in AK, but I would occasionally decline an invitation to RL while traveling on principle. Wouldn’t make a stink about it, but wouldn’t patronize them even back in the day.

I truly appreciate Penzeys stance. We need to vote with our pocketbook both ways, support progressive business, and decline to support those proud establishments that made sure “Let’s Go Brandon” was on their electric sign rotation.
