“Despite a myriad of challenges including high pollock prices, labor shortages, and a severe winter storm, Long John Silver’s boasted its strongest Lent sales in many years, an executive said in an interview with SeafoodSource.
The Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.-based restaurant chain’s system-wide sales from Ash Wednesday through Easter averaged 20 percent higher than average Lent volumes in more than a decade. Good Friday (2 April) proved be the chain’s biggest sales day on record, as well as its highest Good Friday sales. The operator also had its biggest Easter Sunday sales on record, along with its biggest single sales week, from 15 March through 21 March.”
If you call off on a lent Friday they literally threaten to FIRE you. They say we can't request off any Friday during lent. They don't pay us more to work hella fast and burn ourselves in the laughably tiny kitchen we have to cook in. What they do pay us is not a living wage.
All I'm saying is if you do participate please get your fish another place and don't support them. Thanks!
