After twenty years, I had to close my restaurant down permanently. I already laid off most of the staff to a skeleton crew, and it wasn't enough.
I'm sitting alone in my restaurant, chugging wine and crying. Please, feel with me.

I'm sorry OP. I'm here if you need someone to talk to

[Anonymous No.14116521]

I hope this isnt your only outlet. Because lots of people are going to be big meanies to you as is tradition.

Did you get PPP loans? Seems like a good way to keep afloat. Can even still cut wagies pay and live off it.

Time brings trouble, one must remember not to forget the times, beautiful in the past, their not over, and just as real as now and in future. It will never be lost but a remnant in time. Marcus Aurelias(I probably spelled it wrong) said something along the lines- that in achieving all the goals and prizes in life is not a straight and narrow path, in fact, the obstacles and objects obstructing our goal IS the path. And it must be overcome. So please, drink your wine freind, and tomorrow is a new day, whether you spend it with family, or your pet(get one) don't forget ever to enjoy the beauty of now

I know this isn't a good outlet, but I have nothing else, no one else. I dedicated every aspect of my life to this place. I'm divorced, no children, no friends because I couldn't devote time to anything else for twenty years. I went home and got my gun, came back. Hoping that I don't bitch out of spraying the walls with my brains.

I know what you're talking about. Not the restaurant thing but throwing your life away in pursuit of something. Just know and understand this isn't the end. I really hope your gun jams or something, because right now your thought process is stuck in the negative side. Just know that with time and hope, you'll eventually be able to see things much more clearly. Please, don't give up yet!

Don't leave someone to clean up your mess, faggot. If you're going to off yourself be a man and spend the last of your money on going out in a roaring blaze of drugs and whores before riding the sweet fentanyl spike of freedom out of this shitworld. Then they can just zip you up and toss you in a hole nice and clean instead of giving the poor fuck who finds you Bestgore PTSD.

Are you totally broke or do you have some money to try something else?
Maybe you could buy a food truck and make a traveling restaurant.

[Anonymous No.14116645]

It's just your average steak dinners and burger lunches. Basic flyoverland shit, not exactly bleeding edge of haute cuisine. Nothing I've done has ever been special.

[Anonymous No.14116658]

See it as liberation. 20 years experience made you better and stronger. Now you are free to pursue other options. See if you can find a way to take your skills abroad, try a new country. Make it exciting.

After the government shutdown last year took away most of my clientele, and a brutal winter where no one was on the roads, and this, I'm out of money. I haven't taken home a dime in over a year, all of my money went to payroll and food and keeping the lights on. I'm a broke old failure.

Turn your story into a social media phenomenon.

You'll get assloads of free press from certain threads of rightish-wing media and Twitter.

Play the hand you're dealt. Defy the lockdown and get some publicity. Don't fold and blow your brains out. If you do this right you'll be more successful than ever.

Weird. Most restaurants are booming right now. They've just had to get rid of wait staff because they can't do dine in.

Why did you close OP?

Bad inspection or low yelp score? Grubbub/doordash eat into the margins? New local competition?

Condolences. My parents had to close theirs down like 40 years ago, that was because mafia folk wanted to buy them out. Apparently that was a pretty famous restaurant which is why mob folk wanted to buy them out.

even suicidal people don't have to be malicious towards others explicitly. I used to plan a lot of scenarios where it would look like an accident where insurance still got paid out or at least wasn't a huge mess for responders/didn't require a massive search. It's actually pretty difficult to find a plan that satisfies all three of those. I know longer usually feel this way. I would second the anon who suggested escorts and fentanyl, if you can find it.

Seriously, OP. You need a hug, man. Then you need to go home and get some sleep. It’ll be the same story tomorrow but it will feel a little easier. You’ll get through this and your better days are still to come.
