so chili is not so spicy, it ha to adhere to bland taste of right wingers.
The casual dining chain, which is owned by publicly traded Brinker International, professes to believe in “a culture of belonging,” telling job applicants that it welcomes “those of all genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, abilities, religions, age and backgrounds.”
“We celebrate these differences through a culture of belonging where individual strengths and stories are respected and valued,” ChilisJobs.com asserts. “We’re proud to be a community-oriented meeting place and want everyone to feel welcome at Chili’s.”
I don’t understand the utility of proclaiming your company to be a bastion for the people you clearly hate. Why entice them to become employees just to fire them? And in firing them, receive a tidal wave of bad press and probable lawsuits? 🤷
Monday, I drove my wife and youngest to Omaha to adopt a puppy (golden retriever). We were going to eat at Chili’s because at least it’s a known food. Well, the person we were getting the dog from was available early, so we did drive through.
Fucking bullet dodged.

Why would a massively corporate chain have personal values and lifestyles? Just sell your shitty burgers.
Because an expensive consultant sold the idea to them.
What kinda values could a restaurant chain that microwaves the shittiest food on the planet possibly have?
Excuse me, that’s Applebees. Chili’s only microwaves some things and deep fries others.
Other than the sign on the building, how can you even tell them apart?
Chips and salsa.
Well, for me, I spent 15 years in a very small metro in the panhandle of Florida. When the community theatre folks hung out, a lot of the regulars would go to Applebees. The “edgy”/“outcast” would tend to go to Chilis.
Frankly, the bigoted stuff from the submission aside, both are… fine enough places to hang out and get food. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible.
I liked the Chilis because the ribs were pretty decent. Not amazing, but decent enough. My wife appreciated their battered chicken tenders, until they got rid of them. She’s autistic and that texture is better for her.
Applebees was more boring to me. I can’t tell you off the top of my head what I ever ate there, but it was alright.
In both cases it was more about hanging out with friends.
So really, to answer your question: Meh. lol.
And yes, I know it was rhetoical, but I have ADHD, so I answered anyway. :)
Chilis always had a fucking terrible dry-ass black bean burger as a vegetarian option, but Applebees had broccoli alfredo that was pretty palatable. It’s not like the chilis one was vegan, either.
Hey, chef Mike works hard ok?
Shitty?
personal values
Meaning you’re not a fundamentalist extremist christofascist. That is a compliment, actually, even though they don’t know it
Lifestyle
Yes, I too would do multiple very expensive and very painful operations and god knows how many therapy sessions for fun, because that’s my style, baby!
I feel like that’s a reverse backhanded compliment. So I guess just compliment.
Oh, well I haven’t eaten at Chili’s in about 20 years, but I was just talking about going again last week.
Guess I’m not going to do that…
At $60 to $70 for 2 people to eat out? Fuck that.
i have a feeling the food isnt good, ive seen other similar chains inflate thier prices.
Texas Roadhouse family meals (takeout only tho) is where it’s at. Near me it’s $60 for 4 steaks (28oz total), 2 1lb sides, about a dozen rolls, salad. Or $50 for the same but with 24 chicken tendies instead of steak.
Gotta agree. You can get so much food there for a reasonable amount of money.
Just did this recently, would recommend.
I’d much rather eat at Chotchkie’s. More flair.
I just realized this is Mike Judge himself
Brain has 37 pieces of flair.
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you 37 times…
I guess this is how I learn that Chili’s is actually still in business
a trans man who was assigned female at birth
Isn’t that what “trans man” means?
They gotta dumb it down for people, it’s a good thing for informing.
If you just say “trans man” at a bunch of people, a significant portion of them will think you mean “a man who has decided they are trans and wants to be a woman”. Because recognizing the gender someone identifies as is catering to their delusion or whatever bigots tell themselves to get by.
Before all the recent hullabaloo in recent years, I couldn’t remember which meant which way - because I could give two fucks - just let them be who they are.
Now I’ve had to learn a lot (which I don’t resent learning) so I can help stand up for their rights, and it’s really easy to remember. But it’s sort of like “biweekly” or “semiweekly” before you actually pay attention - both of those terms mean both something that happens twice per week or once every other week (although I tihnk biweekly more strongly implies twice per week, but it can absolutely be used for both).
I suppose that’s true that even people who aren’t necessarily bigots can struggle to understand what being trans is. My boomer parents aren’t transphobic, but they do struggle with the concept that when a person realizes they’re trans it retroactively means that they were always the gender they currently go by, even if they themselves didn’t know it at the time. I got into an argument with my dad when he kept calling the child of someone he knew “he” when talking about her in the past before she came out as trans. I tried to explain that, no, she was a she then as well, but didn’t know it herself and presented as a he, but he just didn’t get it.
A lot of people are still just not familiar with the terminology surrounding all things trans.
If you just say “trans man” many of them don’t go into a weird mental gymnastics session to justify their prejudice, they just go “which one was that again?”.
I’ve been there myself a few years ago and since I learned have explained it to several people who couldn’t be further from bigots, they were just not in much personal contact with trans people.
Sorry I didn’t mean to say that anyone who doesn’t know the difference is a bigot, I meant to say that the general public’s lack of awareness about what means what is due to bigots intentionally using the wrong gender or terminology any chance they get. They’re muddying the waters.
No need to apologize, and sorry that I apparently made you think an apology was required.
I wanted to build on and expand your point, not contradict it.
I guess they could be intersex? But mostly probably just to make the article accessable to boomers which I think is a fine thing to do.
And it’s okay if they ain’t intersex, because havin’ a low lerbido or being uh-sexual ain’t no big deal, neither.

My expectation of “edible food” doesn’t align with what Chili’s offers, which is why I don’t go there. Everyone has their beliefs, I suppose.
Too easy to boycott.
So easy, I’ve been accidentally boycotting them for decades.
Based on this thread, it sounds like people with enough brainpower to know what pronouns are don’t eat there anyway, so this might actually make Chile’s money.
Did they think they could get away with this. Firing someone because of their personal life. crazy.
They haven’t yet not gotten away with it. I don’t maintain much optimism that they won’t.
I mean man. It would be another major fall in human rights and ignoring at least the principles of the constitution. I mean they can debate all day when it comes to commons spaces but what people do in their private lives is like main part of being free.
This america, not some freedom based utopia. This country is based on prison and pain
Exactly what kind of sex is going on at Chili’s? Anything I should know?
Is it getting into the food???
Judging by the restaurant staff I’ve known, a lot. Those people fuck more than porn stars.
Line cooks are way uglier than porn stars.
Line cooks tend to be degenerates. The best kind of degenerates.
If Chili’s actually gave a shit about “personal values” they wouldn’t be able to hire cooks. Some might pass a drug test because they’re on supervision, but not a single one is going to pass a morality screening.
Source: 20yrs as a line cook.
If you lock your keys in your car a line cook can probably get you into it and sell you a dime bag too.
Were they a fascist pedophile?
