Damn Coupons

A new coupon dropped to those people who are members of Red Lobster's Fresh Catch Club - $4 for two dinner entrees and $3 for two lunch entrees, and they are promoting it with the lame three course meal for $29 option. I hate these coupons. If you want to do something for your frequent customers, put it in the control of the local store. Give the servers the authority to have the manager take $4 off the meal of that family that comes in every other week and tips well for instance. Empower your service staff to actually make the guest feel special rather than yet another bullshit coupon. It is amazing at how hard corporate Red Lobster spins their wheels to create the impression that they want to wow their guest, yet they do nothing to really positively impact that through the single most critical interactive piece - the servers. If you work at Old Chicago you have a comp tab where you can literally buy things for your guests. That impresses me. That makes me feel valued. That is a wow experience. That is trusting your staff. That is NOT Red Lobster.
