Well, you may want them to go, but that would be tens of thousands of people w/o jobs. This makes your comment make you look like a complete ass.

10,000 people lost their jobs.... in  32 states.  Let's do some math.

10,000/32 = 312.5 people per state. (considering they were equally disbursed.)

Let's consider Florida with a population of 18 million people.

.002% of the population of Florida lost their jobs by them shutting down.

Yes, it sucks losing a job and I think we all have lost one in the past. I do feel bad for the people but my comment wasn't:

"YAY people lost their jobs" it was "YAY Bennigan's is closing." 

I wonder how many private owned restaurants had to shut down when Bennigan's moved into their neighborhood...

Your wording was messed up, which perceived the notion of that. Also, that math is right, considering many of these were clustered together in mroe locations, not evenly spread.
