Alternative to OPTION in views? [closed]

Question

We have this dilemma -- below query runs against one of our VIEWs (which is made up of VIEWs and other TABLES) and takes forever to run (10+ minutes!):

SELECT STORE_CD, ITEM_CD, DATE
  FROM [dbo].[V_DROPSHIP_SYM_REPLENISHMENT]
 WHERE DATE = GETDATE()

However, if I change the query to this:

SELECT STORE_CD, ITEM_CD, DATE
  FROM [dbo].[V_DROPSHIP_SYM_REPLENISHMENT]
 WHERE DATE = GETDATE()
OPTION (FORCE ORDER, FAST 20)

It runs immediately and returns 3,754 rows! The problem is, most of our applications use LINQ, like this:

var results = (
    from s in db.V_DROPSHIP_SYM_REPLENISHMENT
        .Where(x => x.DATE == somePassedInDate)
    select new
    {
        s.STORE_CD,
        s.ITEM_CD,
        s.DATE
    }).ToList();

I don't believe there's any way to add "OPTION" to a LINQ statement and apparently you can't use "OPTION" in VIEWs, either, so are we just out of luck? This is running on SQL2019.
