How sad. Arby's here is my second to the LAST choice for fast food

Hardee's is the worst.

Oh Lynn, dear, I have a Hardee's story for *you and you will probably never
set foot in one again. *Back in my teen years in the 70's, I worked at a
steak house in North Carolina (Western Sizzlin' - neither here nor there)
that was located on fast food alley, (HWY 74E) next door to a Hardee's. *It
was a *hot summer night and all the prep work had been done, business was
slowing down, so we were allowed to take break on the loading dock until it
was time to do closing cleanup (I worked in the back of the house). *We were
sitting around bs-ing and smoking when all of sudden all Hell broke lose at
Hardees. *The manager was screaming and whailing the crap out of one of the
boys who worked there. *The local police roared up, broke up the fight and
took the boy away in cuffs. *The manager of Hardees came over about a half
an hour later to the back door of the steak house and wanted to speak to our
manager. *He wanted to bum some mayo off of him until he got a new delivery
in the morning. *Being the conscienscous employees that we were, we went
about our 'duty' while one was assigned lookout and another listened in to
the conversation in the managers office. *Seems the boy was ****ed off at
being written up for something and he had been waxing his carrot in the
mayonnaise and then serving it to the customers. *How long it had been going
on, no one knew, but he was 'seen' enjoying the mayonaisse by another
employee who went and got the manager who witnessed the consumation of the
act and him stirring it in the mayo. * That's when all hell broke
lose....... *Could never eat there again after that. *Never knew how many
burgers were sold with the 'special' sauce. *And to all and sundry who were
there that night, Hardees was further known not as the 'Home of the Whopper'
but 'Home of the Jerk Burger'.......not urban legend, folks. *This one I was
actually there on the periphery.

Oh, Ginny!
Thank you so much. Now whenever I have a burger/fries or whatever
craving, I can contemplate Hardees for 15 seconds and lose my appetite
for the remainder of the day! My doctor, my cholesterol level and I
all thank you.
