Underdog Militia Report

If you read my last post about Five Guys Burgers and fries forget about it.

Saturday I got hit with burger cravings.  So I remembered that when I went there last time it took them about ten mins to cook my burger and fries. So I decided to call ahead of time.  I called at exactly 6:26 pm.  I know this because that is the time that is on the printed receipt when I picked up the food. It almost matched the time on my watch (6:25 pm).  The person who answered the phone told me the food would be reading in about 10 minutes.

Now I get there exactly 10 minutes after I called.  Yes I planned it that way.  At that point I had to wait another 5 minutes for my food.   And the food was not worth the high price.   Since I ordered two burgers and two fries, it became much more clear to me how overpriced the food was. You see, last time I only ordered one of each so I didn’t see my error. (continue reading…)

I was hungry for some cheese sticks today. So I’m driving down I-83 in northern York County. I called one of the few places that make decent cheese sticks and asked for two orders of cheese sticks. When I got there about ten mins later the person at the counter handed me a little bag that contained ONE order of cheese sticks.
“WHOA! hold on,” I said, “I asked for TWO orders of cheese sticks.”

The person at the counter got the paperwork out and said, “One order of cheese sticks, I can make you another.”

At this point I’m not pleased because I called ahead so my food would be ready before I got there. I had no intention of waiting since it was a bimbo’s incompetence that messed up my order.
I handed that bad back, let the 2 liter bottle of Dr Pepper I was going to buy on the counter and said, “forget about it.”
Then I walked out the door.

Ok so I’m still hungry. Perhaps I should go to Sonic and get cheese sticks. However, the last time I went to Sonic there was a line of sheep waiting to even find a parking space. So Sonic was ruled out for now.
Then I see a Five Guys Burgers & Fries. Apparently it is one of the few places that uses fresh cut fries, although they wouldn’t show me a potato. (continue reading…)
