Oregon Chili’s Closed With No Warning
May 29 2008, 08:24 PM
BEAVERTON, Ore. - Hundreds of restaurant workers started looking for new jobs Tuesday after national restaurant chain “Chili’s” closed several of its Portland-area restaurants.
At the Beaverton location, the parking lot sat empty Tuesday except for former employees showing up for work and discovering they were out of a job.
A sign on the front door said the restaurant was “closed for repairs,” but that is not true, according to managers and the corporate office.
The Hillsboro location also closed; The Lake Oswego and Wilsonville restaurants may be shut down after Tuesday night.
Workers were stunned.
“I was on the schedule for this morning, and I walked up and (the manager) was here and said, ‘Nope, they’re closed,’ ” said Jimbo Purcell, a cook.
The Clackamas and Eugene locations will stay open and be run by the corporate office.
A manager predicted the closings will cost 300 Oregonians their jobs.

Usually when I leave a job, it’s a little more bittersweet than this. There are certainly people I’m going to miss here… Scott, Wesley, Dan, Brandi, Lara,…

I don’t even really like snow. I’ve just had a bad couple of days.
I had Friday off, which one would think would be a good day… not so much.
I started the day by having a dream that I was at my Grandma’s house and we were having the family Christmas party, and nobody showed up. My first thought…

There’s usually a lot of hoax virus warnings going around, but since this one is actually posted on the UPS website, I’d say this one is probably pretty legit. So, if you get an email from UPS saying that your package could not be delivered, and comes with an attachment for an invoice, you should probably delete it.
