I Can’t Do This to Myself

The first time in almost 14 years of doing this where I didn't feel safe eating the item. In what might be the worst fast food experience I've ever had, I wanted to try out Arby's new Bourbon BBQ Chicken Sandwich... unfortunately things took a turn for the worse very quickly and I couldn't help but rant about the situation I was in.

I agree last thing I got from Arby’s was a chicken sandwich I couldn’t bite thru (I even tried tearing it apart with a knife and fork) and it wasn’t budging. Till this day I still don’t know what they gave me

[@ralBurebsuos]

Former Arbys employee here. Chicken pattys don't sell a lot and take forever to fry so they keep 3 under the heat lamp. They have timers for when to throw things away but most people just reset the timer because they don't want to cook more. Try it again, go inside and ask for everything to be freshly fried. My location was amazingly clean and that's coming from an ex in n out employee

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

That's good to hear personally. I like Arby's but I'm not sure why they put this stuff on their menu. They've already got multiple meats by default so it's just another thing that's going to take up space and time from other things. In my opinion if they were going to get in on the chicken sandwich wars they should try to focus on sauces, buns, and maybe an extra spice for the meat. Like think of the roast beef versus the beef n cheddar. The beef n cheddar has a different bun which goes a long way in making it more than just a roast beef with cheese.

The only way it was going to go when fast food has always been about maximum profit. At some point (now) the quality will get unbearably bad due to enough cycles of cost-cutting, and then the bubble collapses. You can see that in every facet of US society, because all of US society is built on the unsustainable idea of maximum profit, endless growth for the sake of growth, every quarter record profits. We're close to the darkest time. We shall see if we survive to see the dawn of a new era.

[@rockdisappeared9203]

Save whatever money you can. Get a piece of land. One of my first visions ever was of Burger King suddenly being closed. I know it has to mean something because I listened to one of those Burger King horror stories on KZbin which is actually just a story from Reddit I think, and this man experienced my vision to a T. I believe him because I had that vision and everything happened exactly as he described and it was so freaky and it was so freaky for him as well. Only I was about four years old, so you can imagine how much freakier it was for a girl child. I can only imagine that any companies that have adopted Burger King, Wendy’s, or Arby’s business models are probably going to go belly up soon, so do what you can with the money you get from them. Spend wisely and save wisely. It’s Acts Chapter 2. God’s giving warnings if we’ll listen. In my 1991 vision, I walked into this Burger King for breakfast with my family, my grandparents and my aunt and uncle and my cousin and my parents. So it was my extended family as well. The place was hopping. I had to go to the restroom, so I went to the restroom and my mother was going to order for me. I remember looking forward to hash crowns. And everything was normal as I washed my hands and I came out. But then it was like there was a filter over the whole restaurant, and the place was absolutely deserted. It looked like it had been deserted for sometime. My family and all of the workers, nobody. I thought to ask the cashier if they’ve seen my family, but then there wasn’t anybody there. It was so still. Empty. I was alone. The vision ended. That’s exactly how the story went that the man on Reddit who actually experienced it late at night. He stopped in, he went in and the place was sort of busy or busy enough at night, he did his business in the restroom, and he came out and it was completely deserted like it had always been deserted… He got into his car quickly and drove away from that location very fast. Stephen King langoliers junk… I honestly think it was just a vision of the future now-the future of Burger King and certain other fast food chains, I have no ideawhat happened to that guy, though, but mine was definitely just a vision. 😅 If these fast food giants really close it does not bode well for the little guys. Spend and save wisely. 😊

[@Lagmaster33]

The chase for that profit margin is getting crazy

[@Mach10X]

Seems to be a runaway effect, prices go up due to Covid supply issues and never come down, fast food restaurants have to either raise prices or lower quality. Arby’s was already significantly more expensive than their competition so people stop eating there as prices creep up and the quality goes down. My local Arby’s still does pretty good business and isn’t bad but if they were a ghost town like his was then yeah, it’s going to be terrible. The Hardee’s in my area is already on the way out, they’d do a great breakfast then be a ghost town so rather than close down or try to stay open with awful food, they just close at 2pm now, they only do breakfast and lunch and honestly they’d do much better if they only served breakfast.

The one by me is in a decent location in a Target parking lot, and it seems to have some business, although not very much. For a while there even like a year after Covid, they were closing at 6 PM.

[@yoitzjslm2830]

First step to fixing some of these places is to cut the menus back to completely the basics. No special offers, no limited time new meals, just pick your fries, your drinks, your snacks, and your burgers. Train your staff in them, ensure you got the machines for them, and then only make them. The staff will be able to cook them better, so the food quality will go up.

[@silentbilly7971]

@@yoitzjslm2830 that doesn't always work zaxbys around me was better when they had everything now my zaxbys location has gotten rid of pretty much everything that was good except the toast, chicken, and cheese bites which they stopped carrying the marinara dip so why bother they can't even make decent fries and the only other option for sides left are side salad and toast they got rid of everything else and they still can't even get consistent good quality

[@adi14882]

There's no such thing as cooking them better. Fast food is designed to reach the lowest common denominator for the sake of uniformity across locations in preparation for cooking robots. If the recipe calls for 4 minutes on the grill, 20g of lettuce, 6g of sauce, etc there's no room for improvement. None. A location isn't even allowed to source its own better produce. Everything is shipped in. The staff is already as well trained as they can be. If they cut corners it's because they don't care about their jobs and you can't fix that with training and team building. Special offers and limited edition items are the only things still bringing in new customers. Without those all they'd have left is stuff everybody has already tried years ago and swore to never eat again. You can't make an ad campaign around "Give us another shot. We made subtle tweaks to our recipes and we promise our food doesn't suck anymore"

[@jaxbedford1448]

​​@@adi14882you're not taking into account human error most fast food places aren't going to hold you to that standard(speaking from experience) the less they have to do the better average quality and that means taking it back to the basics it's not about making it "better" so much as it's about making it "easier" so there is less room for error and lazy ppl who dont care are more likely to follow protocol

[@Thetache]

Having worked in the Temperature Controlled logistics world for years I think this has all the hallmarks of some products being stored for more than 30 minutes outside their temeperature band then going back into correct storage, happens a lot in Fast food outlets and if the items are nearer the outside of the cage or pallet they will have a higher level of bacteria which can survive the cooking process and/or will have damage to their integrity both structurally and bacterially.

[@pennyc7064]

You are correct. Usually these temperature controlled logistics managers will throw out all of the food that is not up to par and or give the franchise owner a fine.
