The return of Red Lobster's "Endless Shrimp" promotion has seafood lovers salivating, but it might leave a bad taste in the mouth of the kitchen and wait staff, former servers told Business Insider.
"It's the time when the most staff quits," said Saul Eugene, who worked at the chain in 2019 and 2020. During the promotion, Eugene said that diners would "sit there and eat shrimp for two and a half hours," turning what should be a standard order into "essentially a 22-course meal" without a bigger bill to match.
The result for employees: more work for less pay — a complaint that ricocheted across social media after Red Lobster announced a limited return of the all-you-can-eat shrimpfest on Monday.
