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.

jissum's probably better for you than hardee's mayonnaise.

They have an advertising campaign out right now promoting their new
image. Something along the lines of "We know we ****ed up before,
so we're going to be better now". So maybe they'll improve for a
few months, then drop dead again.

They copy that campaign from AOL

I have an Oakland Raiders antenna topper I display every so often during
football season. Get a lot of honks and one finger salutes from drivers
here in Philly.

Darn Raiders, ain't done nothing since the 1983 season superbowl victory
against the Washington Redskins. Nothing since.

And a South Park "Kenny" and a Union 76 antenna topper

It's the same promotion Hardee's did a few years ago.

I don't have time to forge posts. Sometimes I don't have time to post.

Unless you meant another Dan.

Hardee's really did improve their food, so it worked. They went from
way below average, to above average. Wendy's is pretty marginal, and
Arby's is near the bottom of the barrel, occupying a position not far
above Rally's/Checkers.
If Arby's wants to improve their food, they need to steal these folks'
model:

I had never heard of Lion's Choice, so I clicked on the link you posted.
The pictures don't look bad and the prices seem to be fairly reasonable. *I
wish they had better descriptions of the items, though. *What's a Roast Beef
Plus?


I don't know exactly, but you can get extra meat on them. Perhaps it
means with any of the various extra-charge toppings. The beef isn't
that chunked, formed, pressed junk (like Arby's). It's top round.
They even had A-1 to put on it.

There are currently two locations in Florida, both in Ft. Meyers - a good 5
hours drive - so I don't think I'll be visiting one any time soon, but I may
try it if I see it sometime. Thanks for the heads up.


Yeah, it's not worth a long drive. There's one very close to us, and
I don't go there very often, though that's only because it's quite a
bit pricier than McD's value menu, and right now, they don't have any
coupons, and because my 6 YO doesn't like the place.
