Why Denny’s Christmas Hours Were The Biggest Scandal Ever, #Dennys #Christmas #Hours #Biggest #Scandal Welcome to OLASMEDIA TV NEWSThis is what we have for you today:
If a 24/7 Denny’s closed its doors for just one night, what do you think would happen? Would it be broken into by criminals looking for cash and using the tranquility of the activity to make a clean flight? Would people be furious that they couldn’t get a Grand Slam at midnight? While these are all good guesses, the answer would probably be a different question: if these places are always open, would they have a way to lock the doors?
According to The New York TimesIn 1988, Denny’s decided to close all but six restaurants for the Christmas season. This proved to be a problem as a majority of the restaurants did not have locks on their doors. After all, why would they have to be locked if they were open 24/7? The restaurants that had doors that could lock didn’t even have keys, they had been lost or misplaced a long time ago. Again, why need keys to lock when you’re open all night? As tasteful tells us, not only were Denny’s managers looking for keys, but the chain had to hire locksmiths for almost all of its restaurants. This undoubtedly cost the company even more money than they expected to lose during their shutdown.
Today, while Denny’s is still open 24/7 for late dinners, it’s probably a little safer than it was in the 1980s if those locks are still intact.
