Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I think the decline was evident before 2008, but it really excelerated the trend. I used to love macaroni grill. It went to complete shit not long after 2008 with new ownership and I haven't been to one in probably at least a decade.
They were one of the only chains I enjoyed the food from. Macaroni Grill was a nice cross section of value and quality on the food. Then they got bought and it became basically olive garden quality really quickly. The first time I went after I got lasagne and it was like dorn room cafeteria quality. Then they supposedly realized they fucked up and brought some quality back at some point and I went back, still sucked. Went from somewhere I'd recommend some decent somewhat authentic Italian food on a budget to somewhere I'd silently judge anyone for enjoying.... It's like all the other big chains now, they're clearly throwing the equivalent of freezer isle meals in ovens.
I can't figure out if people don't know it or are just that lazy. TGI Fridays and a few other places have the balls to sell it in the grocery store freezer isle. Yet somehow people still go pay for them to warm up a frozen dinner for them.
