twitter is the amazing restaurant under new management that now waters down drinks, swaps ingredients for cheaper alternatives, and constantly yells at staff in front of the customers
@ChrisPirillo Offers coupons to welcome people back but only after raising prices higher than the coupon discounts
@ChrisPirillo This is the greatest analogy I've read about the current state of that bird site. Thanks for this!
@ChrisPirillo Time to send in Gordon Ramsay
@Sleestak @ChrisPirillo Gordon Ramsay wants nothing to do with Amy's Baking Company 2.0.
@Sleestak @ChrisPirillo
Good idea. The Muskrat yelling at employees digitally isn't working, so let's send in a loud mouthed jerk to scream in person.
@ChrisPirillo Exactly why I went across the street to the Mastodon CafΓ©
@buck @ChrisPirillo I was going to say, a franchise of Mastodon. Then I realized even that is not totally correct, For there is no central auth giving out lic, There is no guarantee that it runs Mastodon.
@ChrisPirillo It also used to have a well-curated gift shop next door that's been replaced with a Skymall catalog.
@ChrisPirillo the thing is, the longer it does this, the more permanent the switch to other restaurants will be.
@ChrisPirillo To be fair, while under the old management there were some great times, there were plenty of long-lasting problems that pointed to trouble before the sale -- orders for edit buttons that never reached the kitchen, disruptive tables that it took forever to get the manager to ask to leave, and never could tell how they were staying in business.
@ChrisPirillo holy shit that’s the best explanation I’ve seen yet lol
@ChrisPirillo also renames the dishes and calls it new
@wongmjane ...and overworks everybody.

@ChrisPirillo

Yeah pretty much. If you put # on people who don't live in your timezone can find your (very relevant) stuff.

#TwitterMigration

@ChrisPirillo also attraction entirely new kind of riffraff that loves this type of stuff
@Gartenberg ...don't forget to tip your server.
@ChrisPirillo there are no servers, the new owner fired everyone in charge of the servers and then got rid of the servers
@Gartenberg ...and the new chef used to be the janitor.
@ChrisPirillo and the new janitor just made himself CEO
@ChrisPirillo so, it's like a Gordon Ramsey style place where all you hear in the background is: IT'S RAW!!!!
@ChrisPirillo and readmits previously barred clientele πŸ™„
@ChrisPirillo and you know that the best vegan 🌱 steaks πŸ₯© are served under the corner, where the waiters and chiefs are your buddies β™₯️
@timorowe ...if only we had more of 'em!
@ChrisPirillo And constantly yells at the customers in front of the staff.

@ChrisPirillo it's also the restaurant that has decided to cater to the local skinheads. There's a line of people outside tut tutting, but they're still prepared to be seated because, you know, the cooks used to be good here.

#ElronIsntTheOnlyProblem

@ChrisPirillo The new management also insults, lies about, and bans its long time customers.
@ChrisPirillo run by a guy who's never set foot in a kitchen
@ChrisPirillo ... and customers in front of the staff.
@ChrisPirillo And the new management loves the people who've decided to "stay and fight" because they're making the place look busy and popular, and still paying for drinks.
@ChrisPirillo It yells at it's customers as well
@ChrisPirillo you should see what the chef does in the back with the vegan meals 😳
@MostlyTato ...I don't wanna know.
@ChrisPirillo actually, come to think of it,.neither do I. Good job we are eating somewhere else!
@ChrisPirillo and the restaurant is now inexplicably full of white supremacists.
@ChrisPirillo begs you to write a yelp review and then threatens to sue you if you're honest
@micah ...it's almost beyond parody.
@ChrisPirillo You left out that they ban food critics πŸ˜‰
@ChrisPirillo "I don't care, I'm going to keep eating here until they get bored and sell it"
"A cockroach literally just ran across that table"
"So long as it's not my table"
@ChrisPirillo Food poisoning anyone? And I think it has a rat der problem.
@ChrisPirillo HMM…SO IN OTHER WORDS, TWISTER SUCKS!!!! SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT.
@ChrisPirillo perfectly explained πŸ˜¬πŸ‘πŸ‘
@ChrisPirillo Kitchen Nightmares scene. Dramatic music plays. Cut to interview with one of the owners, "I don't understand! Everything was going great until a few months ago!" Cut to footage of several years ago, wherein they're watering down drinks, swapping in cheap ingredients, and yelling at staff in front of the customers. Cut to interview with one of the staff, "things have been going very wrong for a long time, and this latest change in ownership might just be the last straw for me."

@ChrisPirillo

I've seen this movie before and it sucks.

@ChrisPirillo I think of it as Miyazawa's "Restaurant of Many Orders."

@ChrisPirillo except it was never amazing. It went from bad to worse, like a Chili's being replaced by a TGI Fridays.
@ChrisPirillo And, like American restaurants, it often doesn't pay is employees.
@ChrisPirillo I do not concur that Twitter was amazing at the time new management occurred. Twitter was revolutionary for a few years. But I get your point and agree with the spirit of it!
