ARBY'S IS SO NASTY

Mmmmm, Arby's. I love it. I used to hate it when I was younger, but now it is damn good food. I used to eat there all the time after work, about 3 Big Montanas, and curly fries. Arby's sauce on everything, fuck ketchup.
But yes, Chick-fi-la is the best. The ultimate fast food in my opinion. It is probably because they fry it in crack, and the fries!!! Amazing. Chick-fi-la is soo addicting. I could eat there every day, except Sunday of course......damn you!!!!!! They seriously need to stay open til 2 am and on Sundays, that is their only problem in my book.

I managed an Arby's back in 1969 in a college town. Back then we had real meat, not that plastic crap they serve today. We cooked 12 pound top inside round with beef suet on top to soak up the flavor. The sandwich had a full 4 oz. of meat and cost 39 cents. The unit I managed was the 7th highest volume in the U.S.

Haha , i knew we had shit in common Pops. I too worked at an arbys. i was 16 so i think that was around 1990. I can say that after working at arbys it is one of the only places i will eat to this day that is fast food. They would cook the roast beef for hours. There was always many checks in place to make sure the meat was at the right temp for serving. I seen may roasts get thrown out at arbys that were sitting for hours and no longer the right temp. Allthe food was made to order instead of sitting around in a heat lamp.


Fast food sucks, but as far as food and cleanliness went Arbys was pretty good compared to the rest



I was on probation at 16 for 6 months and worked at arbys for 6 months since part of probation stated i had to have a job. the day prbation was up i was gone!!!

I like it when the roast beef hangs out of the bun. :yummy: :yummy:
Yeah, all the Arby's I go into are very clean.

I have an Iron Gut, I can stomach the taintedest meats and cheeses and belch with pride. That being said, I love Arby's 2x Big Montana's with lettuce and ketchup and Horsey, A order or curly fries or potatoe cakes and something cold to wash it all down.

Damn...now I'm hungry

Around 1971 or 1972, Arby's switched to a plastic meat from Eckrich. It is chopped and formed into a large 10 lb. loaf and injected with water and salt and other good shit. It simply doesn't taste like the old sandwiches. I was a college student back then, working full time and going to school full time. I didn't have time to go to Arby's School for managers, so the owner sent the other two managers. I had to retrain them both after they got back. The school simply didn't train them well for high volume units. I would up training 6 other managers and the owners of 4 other units. Eventually, I worked at another Arby's years later and was sent to arby's School, where I scored a 99%. Seems like I had managed Arby's units longer than the trainers had. What a joke!

One great thing about working there is that when you came in with a hangover at 6:00 A.M., you could immediately fix yourself a cold milkshake to ease the pain.

When I first started managing an Arby's in 1968, my salary was $80 a week. The minimum wage back then was $1.25 per hour. It was a brand new store and I wound up working from 65 to 80 hours a week. I wasn't even making minimum wage, my employees made more than I did.

I've never been really fond of Arby's.

I've got a soft spot for Checker's seasoned fries, and I gotta admit, I frickin' love Wendy's Spicey Chicken sammich, been getting that one since they came out with it....Damn, maybe 15 years ago?

I used to go to Arby's once in a while back in the day- 20 years ago. Even then the cheese was pseudo-cheese liquid. After seeing Super-size me and reading Fast Food Nation and Fat Land, I have shunned Fast Food much of the time.

I have thought about going to a Hardee's just to see people eating the highest calorie burger I've seen the nutrition report for- The 1420 calorie Monster Thick Burger. Sort of an anthropological field trip. Life during the end times of the gluttonous monster truck/monster burger days. The nearest Hardee's is nearly 100 miles away in Wyoming. They seemed to be on every corner in IN.
