...until they quit playing that horrible "beef & cheddar curly fries" TV ad.
Gawd, and I thought the Ranch Tooth was annoying!

.....how about the BK commercial with the deviant "king"? Would you accept a cum laden burger handed to you by a slimy, masked predator?

I too boycott Arbys, try their drive thru on Kingsway in Burnaby and you will know why, on average it takes about 5 minutes for them to fill an order (with no one in front), so if there is 1-2 cars in front of you, be prepare to wait about 10-13 minutes.

I lined up once at the drive thru and waited over 10 minutes, and the line up didn't move at all, I just drove off.......I called Arby’s head office to complain how slow the drive thru was....but they had one of those telephone automatic machine on, going to the front reception saying that she can’t take the call right now cause she is on “lunch”…..well, I left a message and 2 weeks later….ya, no joke 2 weeks later, they called back, she told me that she was on vacation, and the temp didn’t know what to do…..like a 16 year old with an average IQ, would know what to do, ASK someone what to do…..well, I told her the problem, the speed of the drive thru……I told her that Wendy’s is right across the street, and I get in and out under 2 minute with 1 or 2 cars in front……her reply “we are not a burger place….we are a roast beef sandwich place”.

OK, if we take a survey on the street, what is Arby? More people would say it’s fast food burger place, then saying a roast beef sandwich place (without giving multiple choice answers)…..so, what I’m saying is that should Arby spend millions of dollars convincing the public that it’s a roast beef place or spend the money on better product, and better advertisement.

Well, after that arrogant remark, I asked to talk to her supervisor….his name is Mike Brown. Mike Brown is the operation manager, and I wonder to this day how Arby’s survive with this clown running the company. He has no knowledge about how to manage a corner grocery store, yet alone a small burger company.

Waiting for the day Arby’s goes bankrupt in Canada….with the competition of Wendy’s coming hard to be number 2, and MacDonald’s fighting back….it only leave so much room for the other’s to compete in the burger war.

arby's rules!

i dont care for their fries. but their roast beef sandwhiches are wicked. the idea of expecting any sort of service or competence from arby's or any other fast food joint is ridiculous. the only sad part about arby's is their stores are never busy, yet their service times are still slow but hey, like some 16 year old punk, is going to give a shit about how hungry you are.

what about tim hortons? why is it that the twits who dropped out of waitress school or couldnt cut it as bus boys always end up working at a tim hortons? i swear some of the STUPIDEST people ive ever encountered are on the other side of a tim hortons counter.

Yep, I love their roast beef sandwiches, and their chicken sandwiches are better than anything you can get at McD or BK. Too bad there aren't more Arby's around. :mad:

While I agree the food at Arby’s taste better then the competition, the attitude from the upper management right down to the cashier have to change. This is why I say Mike Brown is a “clown”….they rather spend time debating with the public that they are a roast beef sandwich place, then jump on the band wagon and start offering “value days” like MacDonald’s and Sub-Way. I told Mike Brown that he should spend more time on promoting the product instead of debating with me and convincing me that they have no competition….Yes, that’s right…..Mike Brown was as arrogant as the receptionist, stating that he has no competition, b/c we are a roast beef sandwich place and not a burger joint.

When you have employees working like a slug, in a fast food joint, plus you don’t advertise very well, or try to keep up with the competition “value meals”….it’s kind of hard for Arby’s to compete with all fast food joints.

Mike Brown also told me that he was the one that came down to BC to shut down the 2 Arby’s, Marine and the one on Number 3….b/c it was being mismanaged….wouldn’t go any where further than saying that.

With Mike Brown at the helm, the company has no target customer….I asked him, who’s your target customer….his reply “the public”. I kind of brushed it on him that I think you were aiming for the 30 –50 year olds…with the “grown up taste” advertisement…but he said “no, we aim for everyone”.

The list is endless, and I would love for someone else to call head office and see if anything changed……cause it’s been over a year since I’ve talked to the idiots that runs this company….until then Arby’s is a ship with no rudder.

You have to complain in writing.

They'll give you some coupons for some free sandwiches.

But then weren't you just complaining about the sandwiches. :eek:
