New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 105 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

so everytime I go to the wendy's by my house, my order contains "and a 5-piece chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce, please". For the last 6 times in a row, the ****ers have forgotten the BBQ sauce. This time just now, it even said "two BBQ sauces" on the receipt and they still didn't put them in the bag. How justified am I in calling and screaming at the manager to find some people that aren't ****ing idiots? i always now check the bag before i pull away, but ffs...

You're expecting competence from a FF employee?

Don't really follow this post, but it reminds me: what ever happened to the Spicy Chicken Sandwich?

It's not like they're just pre making the food either, you can make a special order and it takes exactly the same amount of time. They must have the most motivated teenagers ever working there, the McDonalds right across the street has the double lane system but isn't nearly as fast.

Mine would be the opposite. Every time I used to go to Wendy's, they would always mess up the order, to the point that I completely stopped going to Wendy's (not that I really went the often before). The fact that I'm not really a fan of Wendy's in the first place obviously added to this, but it made it so I don't even go to Wendy's as a last resort.

Well I've been living off the stuff for the last cpl weeks since im moving. Don't really have much to add that hasn't already been said. Wendy's has a 99c Burger with cheese cooked into the patty. I won't order it again but some ppl here might be into that...

Just remembered something that happened recently. We went to Popeye's to get something from the drive thru. After ordering we realize nobody has their wallet or debit cards. The manager just smiles and says bring me a cake sometime.

^lol. they just opened a new location in my town, too. Checked it out today and had the LBC with BBQ sauce, jalapenos and grilled onions off the advice of a previous poster. Better than what I've ordered in the past, but I still prefer In N Out. Fries were better than the last/other location I visited.

I know this if off topic but I am going to make a grilled cheese with raisin bread. Hopefully one or two of you look closer to home for 'fast food'.

I think you're looking for the "wronger than wrong" thread in the Lounge.

I am one of those wrong doer's who uses ketchup on a regular grilled cheese of white bread and processed cheese.

I rationalize it by substituting the sweetness tasted with that of a ketchup. It is pretty awesome but I know it sounds wrong. It sounds about wrong as throwing gd raisins into perfectly good toast.

If you like them both, give it a try

Might try bbq next time for that carls jr western burger taste.

No matter how they answer you say "can I have a couple more? I don't like ketchup".

You shouldn't have to ask and if they question you, all you have to say is "ive asked for BBQ sauce before and got nothing" and that you are just making sure.

You are such a noob!

They let you sub for the nachos? Can anyone else confirm this is standard ?I've thrown away dozens of bags of doritos.

Since US poker sites take so long to pay I'm really taking advantage of the 99 cent Beefy Crunch burrito. I do wind up paying more for it afterwards but it is pretty good and seems to be a similar size to burritos that go for 1.59-2.79, and being Taco Bell obviously those ingredients aren't really better in the other burritos.

Huge fan of the Wendy's 99 cent crispy chicken ceasar wrap, but unfortunately they closed Wendy's on campus and the two closest are kinda far to justify going only to eat at Wendy's when there are closer options.

I tried the McBites at McDonalds today. I really like them and think the "sample size" for $1 is a good value.

If Chik-Fil-A had McDonalds' or 5 Guys fries, I would have no desire for any other fast food option.

Had a burrito bowl at Chipotle today. Half chicken half steak with rice, beans, corn salsa, cheese, and lettuce. Yummy.

I did enjoy a 20 Chick Fil A nuggets and a small fry a couple of days ago. Those things are so incredibly good.

Being that I suffer from Crohn's disease I don't get to enjoy some of the stuff you guys say makes everything better. I've been to 5 Guys once and had a bacon double cheeseburger. May try BBQ sauce next time? Any other suggestions for someone that can't have green veggies/onions/etc on their burgers?

Chik Fil A is so good. I won't eat there for political reasons anymore but when I'm walking by it at the mall it sure is tempting

no way, waffle fries are so much better and have a longer lifespan too

I really dont see any reason not to eat at cfa at least once a week even now when I have to walk 10 blocks in the snow to get there.

I'm not trying to derail the thread, but im curious what are the politcal reasons? Does it have something to do with being closed on sunday or something?
