I know already, why pick Arby's to eat lunch when I can pick a wide range (I was going to say "myriad" but who am I kidding?) of places, but I had wanted to try their new Chicken Parmesan sandwich. Of course I get there, and I see a Bacon Beef & Cheddar and opted for that instead, in combo form. They ask me if I wanted a large, I say no. The guy then tells me the price, $7.something or other. When did Arby's combos get to 7+ dollars? I don't eat there often, but c'mon.I eat the sandwich, and it's lousy, and of course it reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons where one of the twin sisters says "I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's". But this is no excuse. If I'm going to pay for $7 on anything, I'll get a large Bruchi's Philly cheesesteak sandwich. But this was a lousy roast beef sandwich with liquid cheese, a small, barely-any-flavor piece of bacon, and a cup of soda with way too much ice and barely any carbonation. I was in shock and I wanted to look at the receipt. Of course, there was no receipt in the bag.
I know I should be eating better, but I made a foolish impulse choice and it was crap. The curly fries were crap. All of it was crap. I could have just had bacon, beef and cheddar flavored dryer sheets and I would not have known.
Yes, I did read Fast Food Nation and I did go there for a specific reason (i.e. it was convenient) but it was worth $2, if that.
