Lmfao I’m sorry that quote contextualizing this decision is hilarious
Dude has his bases coveredddd
WILD thing to say omgggg
Literally another completely valid headline: 82 year old executive attempts to divert angry mob of employees towards his wife
$1000 per store. Assuming 5 workers or more per store who worked that shift, that means each employee gets $200 or less.
Thank you Luigi
$1k per store? Whoopty-fkn-doo
Good! Keep that fear near and dear.
Haven’t been back to five guys in years. Maybe bad franchise owners at the location by me but the prices alone weren’t worth it anymore let alone the dogshit service we were getting. The burgers and customization is awesome but god damn when you are nearing like $18 for essentially a fast food burger…
This is your PSA reminder that employee bonuses are tax deducible for businesses 🚨

wife a fur coat.
…. Is it possible at all for these people to not sound out of touch for just a minute??
“I always think it’s funny when people go to sales. I never thought they worked. We tried this one, buy one, get one free. Holy smokes. I couldn’t believe all the people that jumped on that” — signed a rich CEO who never buys anything on sale
The Luigi effect 🙌🏽
$1.5million is 0.046% of Five Guys annual revenue.
Waffling between the thought of “At least he did *something* to acknowledge them!” and “I mean that’s nice but like…$1000 per store doesn’t come to much per employee. Coulda been more.”
Well when your food is overpriced, people are probably going to get excited when it’s BOGO.
What bogo deal
Wow. With that bogo deal, you get get two burgers for the price of two and a half burgers.
Should have been $1000 per employee, not per store.
Failed? It was a success.
Better too busy run out of food than to have empty stores and too much food.
Does Nintendo say Switch 2 is a failure if there are too many preorders and run out devices?
Could be laying off employees like a lot of businesses are doing.
Huh. Even as a joke, what does this tell us about how the rich may react when presented with the threat of the “v-word”
Wait, so there is not a group of Five Guys that makes all of the decisions?
This guy gets it
Direct action works
Am I crazy thinking this is better than nothing?
Lol
I stopped going to five guys years ago when they did the tipping screen turn.
Literally proving Luigi’s actions as beneficial to society.
