Don't understand the fuss, if there was another half of a potato under the whole one that's just seems like a bonus. One and a half baked potatoes for the price of one--priceless.

It is probably the half-eaten part of the story.

They went back with this to show to McCallisters and they received a voucher for a future meal. They then were contacted by the wife of the manager who accused them of trying to rip them off. She told them that they would not honor the voucher and were not welcomed there anymore. I have to believe my friend as he has no reason to lie about this and is not that kind of person. If so I wonder about this women's business acumen. It doesn't make much sense to me why someone would accuse a customer who returned an item that they purchased that they were trying to rip them off.

Still think someone who knows the manager of McAlister's in Brownwood should contact them about this thread. It has almost 2000 views now.

When it's my time, I'm hoping for a 100% left main lesion---gone in 60 seconds, no fuss. In the meantime, to quote Travolta from "Pulp Fiction"---"pork chops taste good, bacon tastes good"
(If that comment doesn't yank VPL out of "retirement", nothing will:1rotfl:)

BTW, VPL is alive and (apparently) well.

I have to agree Glad he is up and about. Now, time for a BLT with extra mayo.

Somehow I doubt that's gonna happen!

I meant "moi" not VPL. He can fend for himself.

I don't buy it. McCallisters and the owners have always been great for us.
