And you had better keep my baby clean. And carnauba only on that paint, it's original, you know. Love, Dad.

Clines Corners was, and as of a month ago, still is, the epitome of "fleece the rubes (tourists), who cares, they'll never be back" highway robbery. Everything there is overpriced garbage, including the coffee.

Sheesh, at least one with a little sense of adventure.

When I was extremely poor (because small city daily newspaper reporter), I cracked the code on the two sandwiches for $2 special they'd run all the time. Usually it would be something inedible like a Beef & Cheddar, but if you ordered with no cheese, voila! Arby's Jr. for half the price. A straight Arby's sandwich is basically thin-sliced, fatty jerky on a bun, but I'm OK with jerky.

Lisa Simpson: Why does a dog have human girlfriends?Well, um, I could point you at a website, but it'd probably get me banned.

I worked at an Arby's for about a week in college. Manager was a former Marine who liked to say things like "Burger King has rags! We have cloths!" I gave notice after hearing back from a real restaurant about a job waiting tables, and the guy acted as if I had betrayed the noble name of the Arby's company. He told me not to bother coming in ever again.

Speaking of time travel, this was in 1982. I have no doubt that some of that Arby-Q batch is still in use.

Same here - ate there exactly once. I remember a big puffy roll, and a thin layer of rather salty beef-like material. I was unimpressed enough to return exactly zero times over the following decades, and if I ever get to time-travel, it sure as hell isn't going to be on my itinerary.
