That explains a lot. We have (had?..I'm no longer in CA) lottsa CJr's.
Stragely, CJr can make a very good burger n' shake. I used to pick up a
Famous Star and s/b shake just before night classes at a CJr near where I
worked and they were unbelievably good. Unfortunately, it's seems CJr is
not big on consistency. The CJr where I lived was atrociously bad and I
even wrote regional headquarter to complain. They didn't care and didn't
bother to reply.

King. Speaking of Burger Chef, Hardee's (which bought Burger Chef many
years ago)....

Yeah, almost 40!

much advertised as the "standard" size burger. No wonder obesity is
rampant, we've doubled the size of what we consider a portion.

Doubled the bread. And what's a Supergulp in costs? About 3 cents worth of
soda? The cup is the expense.

We have only a handfull of scarf n' barfs, here. Subway, McD, BK, and TB.
I don't eat at any of them, voluntarily.
