Re: Taco Bell operations

I’ve started liking Taco Bell since I can get the $5 combo and modify the chicken burrito to get rid of what I don’t want in it. Wish it tasted more like the chicken and rice burrito did though. I don’t know what was with Taco Bel last Friday. Usually I can go in and order with at most one person in...

Re: Walgreens Earnings Are Down

Walgreens has two locations in my town, yet Eckerd closed its second location instead of converting to CVS at the time.

Re: Arbys App returns 5 for $5 - through 7/2

Wow that is a great price! I think Arby’s really needs to go back to having some deals again. I miss the Happy Hour they used to have a few years ago where shakes and sliders were $2? $1? Especially given how the prices have increased. I did have a coupon the other day for a $1 kids meal with any pu...

Re: Walmart observations

From what I’ve experienced Walmart has very dry fried chicken. Not sure why, but the skin is crunchy but then so is everything else to it. There’s also a terrible odor in the milk cooler (I get the Great Value chocolate milk because it’s the best price). But the floors in the cooler look very dirty ...

Re: McDonald’s Grimace Meal

I'm really surprised, I thought this Grimace thing would be a flash in the pan but it keeps going and going... I really do kinda wanna try the shake. But I don't want the french fries or the rest. I was wondering too… it does seem to be lasting quite a while, my guess was when we got into July it w...

Re: Drive thrus

Why is Covid only seem to be a problem for dining in at fast food, yet people will still pack into high end restaurants, or places like Outback steakhouse or Chili’s? It’s been 3 years, I don’t think the vast majority of people give a crap anymore. I think it’s more of an unnoticed thing that people...

Re: Pizza Hut "Classic" restaurants

I’ve heard in some areas, the Pizza Hur buffet is back. Haven’t noticed this in my area, but I only pass one of the 3 remaining dine in hut locations in the bi-county area in a regular basis.

I don’t see why they couldn’t offer it again, I can tell the buffet is still in place through the windows.

Re: Walmart observations

My Walmart has gotten new self scan stations. They do kit seam to be as heavy built as the prior units. The scanner seems to have a delay a times, I accidentally scanned an item twice and had to have an overseer remove it. The touch screen is also somewhat insensitive and doesn’t register sometimes ...

Re: McDonald’s Grimace Meal

Here the Big Mac meal runs $8.99 and the Grimace meals around $10.29.

The video I saw on the Grimace shake, stated it just tastes like a regular vanilla shake, no flavoring.

Given how often McDonalds shakes are unavailable, I wonder how many locations couldn’t even offer the Grimace Meals.

Re: McDonald’s Grimace Meal

The purple milkshake is supposed to be social media friendly. People post photos of this brightly-colored drink and this encourages other people to go to McDonald's to buy it so they can take photos or selfies with it. The McDonald's app crashed today and it was probably due to all of the people tr...
