One of the items today... ah yes, the never-ending supply of kaiser rolls!

French Dip
Hot Roast Beef on Kaiser Bun with Beef Ajus
Your Choice of Side*
$8.25

I'd prefer mine on a french roll, thank you very much.

*Sides are sweet potato or white french fries/chips.

Pass. I've never liked French dipped beef sandwiches and don't
understand the mystique.

How can you dip that? You'd have to cut it in half. And where do they keep
getting this bread? At the Kaiser Roll outlet?

They're trying to differentiate sweet potato fries from regular potato
fries, and/or sweet potato chips from regular potato chips. It would be
a lot clearer as a simple list of side options.

I took it to mean 'as opposed to sweet potato fries'.

12/17/2012 First to Review
I went in to buy cigarettes as I do twice a week for the last 6 months
and was given "short" cigarettes instead of the longer 100's style. I
was halfway out the door when I realized the mistake. The door hadn't
even had time to close behind me when I went back in to get the right
cigarettes. Had to wait behind a few other people at the cash
register but when I got there he said they have a policy that once you
leave the store you cannot return or exchange anything. I told him
the door never even closed behind me so technically I never left the
store. And more importantly you gave me the wrong cigarettes. It was
a simple exchange.

He said "No, you asked for 'Short' cigarettes", which was total BS as
I told him, "I do this twice a week, and you give me the correct
cigarettes every other time. The word "shorts" is not even in my
vocabulary." He still insisted those are what I asked for. Rather
than providing the simplest customer service he chose to argue with me
and insist I said something that I didn't. He refused to exchange the
cigarettes for the ones I originally asked for.

This is the same Shell station where a woman accused the store clerk
(Amirali Noorji Maknojia, age 44) of sexually assaulting her in the
bathroom back on March 4th, 2008 (story available in
http://Statesmen.com archives, author Tony Plohetski). While I didn't
exactly get raped in the sexual sense, I'm still amazed at the
treatment. It's clear that their pig-headed customer service still
has a quite a ways to go if hey can't even provide the most basic
customer service for regular customers.
