What Would Druff Do? - Arby's Edition

[WillieMcFML]

thanks for posting, tonyb. Took a pic if you want to comment

Keep in mind, yesterday the color difference was even more extreme and not sure if the picture will do it justice but the darker piece is much thicker and devoid of any kind of moisture

Ah, memories from an occasionally misspent youth.

Yep, that's the nasty motherfucker that's left when some pissant cares not for his employer or customers but only resuming his ham slammin. Classic case of leaving it under the lights instead of in the warmer.

the thing is, there was plenty of fresh meat on the sandwich

also, some things i learned from talking to the employees: tim was hired about a week ago, "he don't know what he's doing", he broke the shake machine, after only a week apparently they think he "gets high" (not sure on what), everyone seemed not at all surprised when i was saying he fucked with my food, i asked one of the girls if he was a dick she said "i mean he cool, but...." and grinned. NO ONE came to tim's defense

when i told them i ordered a beef and cheddar they pointed out that besides not having any cheese he used a different bun than what is supposed to be used on the B&C

is he just a fuck-up and a thief, or a fuck-up, a thief, and a someone who would fuck with your food and how far would you take it in each case?

Druff is spot on in these last two posts. For me it's actually more important to get the little shit reprimanded/fired, not because of vindictiveness or cruelty but because of the damage a clown like this do to an otherwise positive business.

Candidly I'd probably do neither and just chalk it up to a bad beat, all depends on how much time and effort Sir William wants or can put into it.

I was watching The Founder (Ray Kroc / McDonalds story) in flight last night. Only made it half way through. Very very good.

It's about the process. If at 10:45 the pimply face kid wears the red management paper hat - it doesn't matter. It's about process. It's about management. Give the kid some incentive.

So what if they throw out an over supply at the end of the shift? Do the kids get paid extra to clean up and break down after late customers? Throw the kids a bone for having to deal with the rotten late hour. At the same time threaten them if you hear any late night complaints. We are going to be superior until we shut out the lights. You take care of me and I'll take care of you.

All I'm suggesting is Willie fuck with the manager or the District Manager. This quality control issue is on him. Hell, its so broken there that it's open season on stealing.

Let the DM start babbling. Maybe pretend to empathize with his difficulties in managing minimum wage yutes. Then turn on him. Are all the stores he is responsible for this shitty? Maybe I'll try those too.

Gawd, this can map out so many different ways.

Hey depending on your commitment to the game.... make a call to the town and find out the health inspector's name. Just so you have it if you feel compelled to name drop. Kind of a nuclear option but you want to be flexible.

Messing around with these guys will be a good life experience.

[WillieMcFML]

Also just by googling the store address you'll likely find the franchisee who's probably easy to get a hold of. Much more +EV than dealing with a store or area manager who may give two shits but is just as likely an empty suit.

the thing is gift cards are of zero value to me (lol they at first asked if they could make the order over again for me). it will be a long time before i get that memory out of my head to even be able to eat arby's without gagging, that's just how i am

but then again, not at all worth suing them, and at the same time i feel i was wronged - that's why i am at a loss, don't know what to do

It was the last bit of meat in the bin under the lights, burned and nasty on top but relatively fine below. For a Beef and Cheddar you put the cheese goo on the crown, then the beef, put the "red ranch" sauce on the bottom and close it up. This would explain why the nasty bits were on the top under the lights and on the bottom of your sammy.

Totally your call as to what to do know, but I've enjoyed the thread.

[chinamaniac]

Don't sue.

Tell the district manager everything.

They will fire Tim.

You can probably sell gift cards online if you don't want to use them.

Or just wait a few weeks and no one will remember you.

I don't think Tim fucked with the food on purpose. 10:45 is plenty of time before an 11pm closing for fast food. It's not like you came in at 10:59.

Tim was just lazy and also figured he could pocket some $ before closing.

Ya I bet it was just the shit that was lying around at the end of the night

At my pizza place I also own a catering van that we use to sell pizza at offsite events. It's basically just a cargo van that I had custom wrapped and equipped with holding ovens and a refrigerator that run off a portable generator. It's health department approved and enables us to set up and sell at special events. Every day we set up in front of a local high school and sell $600-$700 worth of pizza, drinks and chips in about 35 minutes. I have an amazing relationship with the school administration so they welcome us with open arms. I buy 30 pack boxes of Frito Lay chips for $12 each and sell them for $1 per bag. We go thru 4 boxes daily. Anyways a few weeks back a kid grabs a bag and then shows me that there was a small hole in it, so I tell him to grab another one. He does and again a hole in the bag. I then look thru the box and find 6 or 7 more with holes in them. So I pull the entire box and then I notice rat droppings in the bottom of the box. These were boxes that I had picked up from a Smart N Final that morning. I called the quality assurance number for Frito Lay and was pleasantly surprised how professionally and seriously they took it. My call was immediately escalated to someone higher up the food chain. I was asked a lot of questions about where I bought them, etc and was told that they would be inspecting their warehouse facilities as well as contacting the retail location to arrange an inspection. I wasn't looking for nor did I ask for any compensation other then a refund on my purchase price. I was told to simply return the remainder of the box to the retail location for a refund. A couple of days later I received an apology letter from Frito Lay and a $50 AMEX gift card. The letter also highlighted steps they had taken to ensure it would never happen again. I think this was a textbook example of a large company doing a great job handling a potentially damaging situation.

If it's really just about the principal then insist on $6.21 returned to you as cash in envelope, and then make sure you get all bent out of shape and indignant if they refuse. ;-)

cash in envelope is a must

might ask them for a gallon of iced tea and a fresh uncooked brisket so i can make some pastrami

This meet with the owner or DM is just an experience. Have some fun with it maybe make a contact. It's up to you.

Druff's claim that franchise owners are notoriously cheap just doesn't strike me as quite right. The model is cheap, sure.

There is a local McDonalds owner who has a few stores. The guy happens to be black. Bully for him. He spends lavishly on his properties. Particularly, landscaping. Like some frigging botanical garden. Replants the grounds in its entirety each season. He is certainly not cheap.

He buys tired locations and revamps them. He's killing it as evidenced by his growth.

Second example I am aware of is a local Dunkin Donuts franchisee. His parents gave him one location upon graduation. Guy must have a dozen now. Each location is top shelf.

How much does a new Dunkin Donuts location cost to franchise? A million? Is that cheap?

Is the fast food model a low margin business by definition, sure. Is there big money to be made? Of course.

Does Willie's guy give a shit? Who knows? Find out.

Did TonyBags ever meet his owner?

I would demand 2000 arby's sause packets let the districk manger know how serious you are about this. Some free gift card or free credits don't cut it. 2000 arby's sauce packets they will remember and it will hurt. You got screwed some gift card or any credits will evade what they did to you. Make it count!!!

I find it interesting you do events too.

I do corporate events in the summer. Bah Mitzvahs, just did a first communion thing.

I have land and facilities. We hired a kid who has found a niche selling corporate outings. He sells it and puts together all the subcontractors. The bouncy house guy, face painting, zip line, and THE CATERER.

There is a niche with golf courses, country clubs etc where guys sell corporate events. You grab one of these guys and his regular corporate clients follow. It's like stealing.

The guy who has the nicest racquet is the caterer. Like hutmaster, he has a restaurant. Basically pizza. He sets up grills etc and cooks on site. Does a great job. He is prolly the most profitable of all of us per event.

We are starting to do a "grab and go" food offering with him. I give him a kitchen. He gets the permit. He sells to me. I mark it up and put in a fridge (another fucking permit) and ring it up.

This guy is taking over my business. He sees me as the mark. Love the guy. He's killing it. Works like a dog. Made his money in software back in the day and can't stop hustling.

But I keep finding ways to grow this on my property ... eventually, if I have any balls I will find someone to cook for us as an employee and smoke my catering pal. But food is way too hard. I have evil thoughts though.

You're on the right track hutmaster.
