Ok, I learned that CF doesn't serve Dr. Pepper. Well, they don't serve
fettuccine alfredo on the side either!


I would like to squash you like a bug.

It is difficult for me at this time to articulate why.

Blake?

Parden me, Mr. Sqwertz, but they DO serve FETTUCINI WITH CHICKEN in a
cream sauce. Any kitchen should easily be able to make fettucinni
alfredo.

to see what I can't order the next time!


Although it's unlikely, maybe they actually make fettucine alfredo the
CORRECT way, which means "from scratch", not using sauce from a jar.
While this is not a terribly involved process, it's certainly not worth
their time to make a small amount as a side dish.

Maybe the troll can get it all out at once and list every item
Cheesecake Factory doesn't have on their menu and be done
with it. Or, maybe it can just go to a restaurant that features what
it's looking for instead of Cheesecake Factory.


What "it's" looking for? I love that word choice, but I always get yelled
at when I use it. :-)


(laugh) I think of trolls not having any sex organs. Gives them
plenty of time to think up stupid shit like this.

Oh. Now you're saying a chain restaurant should veer from its corporate
mandated formula for portion control.

Reality: We don't know if you are male or female, so for now, you are an
"it". You could change that in your next response, if you can stop frothing
at the mouth for a moment.

Why on earth do you continue to return to that place? Do you enjoy
posting your gripes on usenet *that* much? Get a grip, get a life and
move on to another chain restaurant. Unlike most rodents, you don't
seem to learn from your mistakes.


Just one bad experience isn't fair to make a judgement call. I didn't
order anything that wasn't already on the menu. Besides, I do like to
eat of CF (so far). You don't know how a place will serve their food
unless you ask, right? We've been able to order food items that wasn't
listed on the menu at other restaurants. And I'm not a rodent, you,
name caller, you.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

It's better than being you, so far, anyway.

Listen Mr. Joe, you need to come out of your closet in your spare
bedroom, and see what's happening in Restaurant World. There's another
national chain that will serve FA on the side even though it's not
listed on their menu. It's not hard to prepare, you know.

How old are you?

Why, you wanna play?

Ask away - and refrain from reporting back on your disappointments.

Chain #1 does not determine how chain #2 runs its restaurants.

I want to know how you could be so naiive and clueless. The only good excuse
would be that you are very young and haven't experienced much of the world
yet.

I like Dr. Pepper and I like Mr. Pibb too, not Coke (to sweet and
syrupy). I order soft drinks maybe twice a year though. Not fond of
them in general.
