Why are any of you still dining at places that serve such rubbish!?

I pack a cooler for the overnight from Maryland. When I reach Jacksonville, I stop at Costco for organic foods. My next stop is The Villages Grown (thank you Owen for your wonderful service).

And
I cannot wait for Sprouts Farmers Market to appear in TV. I am also lining for a Whole Foods.

<sigh>

I agree. Also, maybe you could include a well-run, friendly Burger King in the Village of Stu.

We want to be a bit more upscale perhaps Buffalo Burgers in our village.

Rumor has it there is a bit of a herd nearby. We would appoint you to be the head rustler to pick up a buffalo or two.

Whoa! You need to take It down a few notches and not be so angry and unkind!

News flash! If you eat out in restaurant you don’t know what the put in it either. May not be as healthy as you think?

No it’s not just you. I get attitude every time I ask for something cooked fresh because it’s always cold when you get it. If the hash browns sit for more than 5 minutes the temperature is unacceptable.
What aggravates me the most is when I ask for something cooked fresh and they tell me “it just came out” when I know darn well that is not true because I was standing in line more than 5 minutes and the item was sitting in the warmer.
These employees think nothing of arguing with you when you ask for anything out of the norm.
There is one new girl there who really shines and is very customer oriented.
She should be running the place.
Remember to do the survey on your receipt!
That’s the only way ownership knows what is going on.
I very rarely see the owner overseeing the operation.

That’s funny that you asked this. We live in Texas now & it sounds like you’re talking about our Burger Kings here. I don’t go there anymore because for the same reason, always cold, bad service & wrong things on sandwich. So you’re not alone Jasbo!

Did you expect to open a Burger King post and read about world events? Apparently, it was a concern to the OP and it was helpful to anyone looking to find a Burger King worth going to.

Yep

Just wait till a $15 per hour is forced on thr owners. Or when ordering stations are installed.

No kidding... good luck finding decent help for 8 bucks an hour.. I got guys can't figure out what end of the cordless drill to use getting 15-20 bucks an hour..

ljberg 02-12-2021 12:25 PM

I agree, We got cold sandwiches last night and the service was very slow.

Not sure how much Competent help you're going to find for 8 bucks an hour.. If we shut down every restaurant that served a bad burger than would we even have any IN the Villages? Maybe if we tipped them at Burger King or offered to pay 12 bucks instead of 4 bucks quality might rise.. My thought is if I don't want a 4 dollar burger served to me in a greasy sack through my car window I'll opt for the Chophouse where I'll drop 20 but get a big old smile as they're taking my credit card all the while expecting more in a tip then my entire meal at Burger King ran.. In the 10,000 or so fast food purchases I've made in my life I'd be shocked if more than 1% were less than acceptable so I don't want to shut down anyone.. Like my daddy said if you want new clean fresh oats you got to pay a fair price but if you don't mind oats that's already been through the horse well that comes a little cheaper..

Huskies 02-12-2021 04:20 PM

That’s probably why you don’t see too many people there plus it always looks dirty

RealtorKaren 02-12-2021 04:48 PM

Yeah, and they are out of a LOT of items! Like no fish sandwich, onion rings, other stuff. There's something wrong at that location.
