They put the "Fast" in Fast Food

Just reached a new all-time low in the Fast Food Ordering department...

Waited no less than 10 minutes for a #1 combo at Arby's. This is the "#1" combo. Its the most popular item they have. Its a regular roast beef sandwich. Its roast beef. This is the company that wants you to pronounce "R.B." in their name. Thats for roast beef! Its what it stands for!

And its not like I ordered special prep. There is no "hold-the-pickle-situation". Its strictly bun-beef-bun. You also need to put it in a wrapper. Thats it.


Perhaps the hold-up was the curly fries. I might have thought they were waiting on fresh curly fries except for the fact that the ones I received were not very fresh. Perhaps they were waiting for them to cool off but just way misestimated.

But no. No, it was not any of that. It was simply 5 Arby's employees sitting around with no urge to serve me.

Anyway, this in and of itself was not enough to be a new high water mark in poor fast food service. In fact, any educated person should bring a book or at least a magazine article with them when they grab fast food by themselves just in case this slow service contingency comes to fruition.

But the thing that makes this the All-Time-Low-Point is the fact that I only went to Arby's because I had to leave Burger King.

"Why did I have to leave Burger King?" you ask. Well, I had to leave because they had no french fries. NO FRENCH FRIES.

That wasn't a typo. Burger King had burgers. But no french fries. Of course. Why would you need french fries?

Turns out the fryer was broken. The fryer was broken. At Burger King. No fried food. Unbelievable.

The worst fast food service experience ever. I recommended to the Burger King people that they might get that fixed.

...You're Welcome.
