Cause I had my mouth set on bacon and cheddar Because the one I ordered cost a dollar more than what I was given besides, I did eat some of it; I bit it knowing I was going to take it back. I knew they were just going to toss it. Gently used. that's putting it mild Go break open your piggy bank, Barry. Wendy's is havin' a sale! My piggy bank has a mastercard logo on it. she's all tuckered out right now |

AH! I could have ate that! why toss it! you know.. Supply and demand. If you increase the burger supply you decrease the burger demand. they should have a mistake bin, and sell them for one dollar. I believe it's against the law to sell used food. And they wouldn't want to create a policy where it's yours for free if they make a mistake. That would just give people the impression that they make a lot of mistakes. It would also create a clientele that expected lots of freebies--poor tippers, I would imagine. W. Pooh (AKA Winnie P.) |

I believe there is some sort of bodily addiction thingy to fat? maybe it's mental and we need to believe we are having "meat"? sometimes.. I NEED biscuit and gravy once in a while or hit the big greasy buffet somewhere in town. ooo ooo, we have RMWC (a womens college)... on Sundays they have a brunch! it's open to public. They really put the food out. Waffle station, omelet station, steak, fruit, pans of hot butter and syrup, fruit, cookies, ice cream, spinach salads yah yah... a whole island of drinks, coffee, hot choc. milk, soft drinks, teas, etc. I always go for the steaks, or ribbons of steak... and a nice choc. chip waffle. Can you guess where I am having breakfast in the morning? It's like 5 mins from here. |

Haven't been since this past winter. I have to say, as wonderful as the food is, not to mention the token cost... there is mostly girls walking around in night gowns and jammies. That is not a bad thing. My point is... there are not many civilians.. always surprising. lol, it's trewww I always have some choc milk while Im there, sooo rich and chocolaty iiii settle for a big bowl of cereal with icy cold milk, for I head off to bid |

Next time hubby buys a burger there, tell him to toss it in the toilet and cut out the middle man. (makes fast food even faster) |

Barry wrote: Ever order a burger.. you go set down.. you realize it's all wrong BUT!!! you need 2 big bites before you go swap it out, lol... Wow! A similar situation happened to me just last night. Three friends and I met at Fergie's which is a small Irish bar in Center City Philadelphia. We went there to listen to an Irish folk band. I ordered some mild buffalo chicken wings for an appetizer. When the wings were served, I ordered a cheese burger with sautéed mushrooms. The wings were served quickly. Then the house lights were dimmed. Shortly after I finished my wings, my burger was served. The room was fairly dark, so when I picked up the bun to add Heinz ketchup, I noticed some gloppy stuff on it, but I couldn't see it clearly, just that the bun was slimy with some goopy stuff. I didn't complain, I just used a napkin to wipe off the bun. Then I noticed the burger had some bacon on it. I figured the waitress wrote down the wrong burger name on her order sheet, but the bacon looked good so I was going to eat that burger. Just as I was ready to add ketchup, the waitress ran up and apologized. Said she gave me the wrong burger, and she offered to serve me the hamburger I ordered, so we swapped burgers. Since the waitress quickly realized the mistake on her own, I didn't have a chance to eat any of the first burger. I could see the waitress rightly disposed of the wrong burger. I assume she also apologized to the person who ordered the goopy burger. The second burger was fine. Other then the mixup with my burger, the service was superb, so we left the waitress a nice tip when we left nearly 3 hours later. The music was very nice too. |

The insurance companies would frown on that practice too. I am sure the restaurant's management would also be concerned that an employee might intentionally make burgers in error for friends so they get to eat for free. |

I always make a point of stopping there for lunch at least once whenever I visit Las Vegas; which averages about twice a year. Their burgers are awesome for fast food burgers. |
