My local Taco Bell is on temp ban. The last time I got a taco there, the shell was broken into multiple pieces. Basically it was a wrapper full of ingredients, not a taco. Couldn't pick anything up, went straight to trash.

After a couple weeks I unbanned them and got a smothered burrito. Apparently they have some amateur jugglers working there because the smother stuff leaked out and smothered everything else in the bag. Back on temp ban, two strikes, one to go.

Ok I image searched the pizza slider. Now I do want to try it. Also, the ****ing half pound beef and cheddar looks like a great time.

Got a BOGO Big Mac offer a bit back. There was no bottom patty on either sandwich.

Let that be a lesson to all you non-bag-checkers and/or those of you who advocate a simple cursory glance.

Serious beefage! I also got a pizza slider, and it was indeed good.

Technically not "fast food" but whatever. Close enough. This is definitely the demo to share this with. Enjoy.

That's when you blast them on the receipt survey. Put your contact ifo and they might send you a coupn for a free one or two. Or maybe they'll mail you the actual Big Macs.

In a spot like that, probably survey blast + call to the manager.

Taco Bueno big box or party box confirmed a lot of food and good value. 10 tacos or burritos with chips/salsa and rice and beans for $10. Will give bighurt a run for his money for one meal.

Fear not friends, it was all remedied w/ near immediacy. That was my point.

Of course no one inside acknowledged the ridiculousness of the situation.

But who gets Red Robin to go? One of the red robin values is all the free refills on sides.

Oh. I thought you were mad because Arbys put a saucy pile of dog food on your sweet onion roll.

Nah, just 2lbs of bloody pink roast beef. Not that brownish grey crap.

Shake Shack TR: Pretty good, but lol at 8.19 for that burger. Makes 5G look reasonable. Crinkle fries were meh imo. Shake on point. Liked the system they had going.

Also weirdly didn't set up that photo. Just tore burger wrapper open. I guess they like to showcase the burgers a la In-N-Out.

Cheeseburger is basically the same price (at least in NY) at five guys. Worse burger, but more topping options.

Agree the fries aren't good. I get a chicago dog instead. Shakes very good.

Whatever the burger is at SS that's one beef patty and one deep fried cheese stuffed portobello mushroom is ****ing amazing.

As a kid I remember comparing Rax to Arby's. I remember Rax having authentic Roast Beef but for some reason I always liked the Arby's processed stuff better.

These days, finding a Rax is like finding a stand alone Long John Silvers.
