Following store closings announcement, Sbarro takes to Twitter
The pizza chain is shuttering 155 stores in malls nationwide. In tweets, it’s directing employees to send direct messages for one-on-one discussions and offering apologies to upset customers.
I got laid off… Wtf. I just found out this morning that Sbarros closed all stores in San Antonio. 5 in Texas… http://t.co/PXLlIB6VJd

Sbarro has apparently been searching for those tweets, because it has been spending Thursday evening and most of Friday answering them, even if they don’t mention the @Sbarro Twitter account. It’s telling some employees to send direct messages:
@MistaZero2Sixty We are sorry your store closed, please DM us if you want to talk more.

It’s inviting others to call an employee hotline:
@MLKsVision318 We have an employee hotline number set up to answer any questions. Please call us at (800) 392-0468.
