Comments on Facebook included “Aaaaaand before I even get to try it, it’s closed!!!,” “Wow that was fast,” and “What? It was always busy why would it close?”

Perhaps the most poignant comment left was by John Tigman Rutigliano that said, “I got a gift certificate for Golden Corral (Poughkeepsie location only). Who wants it?”
