Did she have a half-off coupon? Red Lobster says it believes Beyonce’s release of the song “Formation,” in which the diva says she took a man to Red Lobster after sex, may be why the value-priced seafood chain’s sales surged by 33 percent on Sunday.

Shades of Monkey Ward: After enduring yet another of what it euphemistically termed a “challenging” holiday season, Sears says it will step up the pace of its No. 1 21st-century enterprise: closing stores.
It hasn’t taken this long for something that’s hopelessly outdated to fade away since Bob Hope’s TV specials.
Neither rain, sleet, etc.: Sears may find some solace in another behemoth organization that’s been around forever — the U.S. Postal Service, which reported a $307 million profit between October and December of 2015, compared to a $754 million loss the previous year.
One might say the Postal Service was saved by the bell, but The Buzz says it was saved by the brown box.
