Nobody Goes There Anymore, It Got Too Popular
-
I went to Claim Jumper once. They opened one in Torrance, and we'd see long lines and mobs of people trying to get in, and, well, it seemed like it must be good, what with all the customers. So we tried it, and it was... meh. Nothing special. Large portions, but relatively bland. We never went back, but I kept seeing crowds and wondered why they were there. But the crowds thinned out over the years, so it wasn't that much of a surprise the other day when Claim Jumper, now bankrupt and being sold, closed the place and laid off about 400 people. Several stores were closed. Here's a question, which might have to be tempered based on who advertises on your station: Which places' popularity baffle you? What places and things do you see everyone fawning over that you just don't think are that good? (Orange County Register)
