  • Arbys rantings long

    Okay so I am going on maybe 6 months at arbys and I am at my breaking point! So many stupid and idiotic customers....

    1. The mozzerella sticks are not on the pick five, do not complain to me and tell me they were last week, they haven't been for like a year!

    2. Promos are not ran forever. We run them for a month, and if we run out or stop selling them, don't complain wait 3 or 4 months they WILL come back.

    3. Do not get mad when we try to suggestive sell. we get in trouble if we don't. Just say no and order what you want!

    Like okay we have these new roastbeef burgers and we have to say "welcome to arbys do you want to try a new roast burger?" people get mad and rude about it. Sorry but we HAVE to do it. If not we get yelled at for not "saying the proper thing on the head set." Its stupid I know. If you want it, I know you will order it, its everywhere.

    4. Discuss what you want BEFORE you get to the drive thru. Many many people come through and are on their cell phones or yelling at their kids "what do you want!?" Or something stupid. Why not just think of what you want before you get there. Chances are, you have come before and know what we have.

    5. Please, I hate talking to someone on a cell phone put it down god! This guy came through drive thru tonight and he was on his cell and talking about doing something monday... I could hear his whole conversationa nd the drive through was b acked up. Why not just call them back seriously! If you conversation is thatimportant, finish it THEN pull up

    6. Coupons do not mean free. Yes, it is "discounted" but just because its discounted does not mean it should be free. Everytime we have coupons out, customers get mad at the prices, and try to get it lower, or free. Sorry but if you did your math you would see it is the right price. Be glad arbys HAS coupons. No other place around here gives coupons in the mail every other month.

    7. When you get your order on the cash registers inside, and if we are busy, do not demand your drink cup. Whoever is getting the order out, and onto the trays will give you your drinks WHEN THEY CAN. We won't forget! Jeeze everytime I am on front line, during a rush, someone will DEMAND their cup, when I am taking an order. Sorry but I can't walk around another cashier, and ignore the other customer because I don't have cups near me!

    Theres more but I am sick and can't remember..

    I thought of more!

    8. Please tell me you have a coupon before driving up to the window so I have to add it all in and hold up the line even more.

    9. Yelling your order inmy ear won't make it right any more then not. I can hear you fine, and if you keep yelling you are going to give me a migraine!

    10. Do not tell me you want a pick five then thats it. I cannot read your mind please tell me what you want on it!

    11. PLEASE do not pause for so long I think your order is done then get mad when I tell you your price. Seriously telling me you want a pick five with five pepper jack then pause for like 5 minutes, yeah that just gives me the idea that you are done.

    Not sure about Arbys everywhere else, but around here, even the decent sized standalone Arbys, there is only ONE window to pay/get your food, and only one lane for drive-thru...and it's a very short line.

    So anyone at anytime fucking around dillydalling or talking on their cell phone or taking several minutes to figure out what they want.....people like that are pretty shunned around here. We don't tolerate that. One person doing that and Arbys will be backed up for quite a while!

      Oh ye gods, I HATED having to do that!

      We always had to say some suggestive sell B.S. after the person had finished ordering. If the person had finished his/her order and had said, "That's all," then I sure as anything was not going to challenge that statement by saying, "Will that be all?" or suggesting the customer should order something more. My manager would flip out if she ever caught me, but I knew I was not destined for a career in tacos, so I really did not care if my chances of moving up to the management levels were jeopardized.

      I hate to say it, but I rarely pay attention to the suggestive sell greeting as I usually already know what I want to order.

        FINALLY SOMEONE I CAN ASK!

        This is a Sign. A Sign from Dog. The Great Fuzzy Slobbery Dog In The Sky. Yes.

        What, pray tell, is a roastburger? There is an Arby's connected to the Shell Station by The Diner and it has been driving me nuts. Please please PLEASE tell me what this new thingy is.

        I must know.

        And I can't very well ask them (at the Arby's) because by the time I get off work they close.

        Tell me! PLEASE!

          I'm partially guilty to this one. Often times, i'll go up to the drive thru knowing what i want. As soon as I see the menu board, other things start looking good and I start going back and forth. Beef n Cheddar? Arby Q? Ooooh. Potato Cakes sound good

            MMmmmmmm.....Arby's.....*drooling*

            I seriously love the regular roast beef sandwiches at Arby's. I love that it's just bread and meat--sometimes, that's all I want. And the curly fries!! Arby's is the only fast-food place that can even compete with Sonic as far as I am concerned.

              I don't work at an Arby's but I eat there a lot(their sweet tea is great), and from what the manager was telling me it's going to be their roast beef sandwich dressed like a burger, lettuce, tomatoe, onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup, and I think mayo

                  Guilty! My husband does this too, especially when I'm the one driving and ordering. I've learned to get his order before we pull up, and before I finish, ask (very loudly) "Anything else, hon?"

                    I am guilty of going through drive through and asking whoever is with me what they want or I will have something then change it, but ususally the drive throughs I go through I get a usual

                    A roast beef burger is practically like a big mac or a whooper. Its roast beef but it has a seasoning to make it taste like a hamburger. It has lettuce tomato onion.. one has pickles.

                    One has blue cheese and bacon and one has cheddar cheese and bacon.. Yeah they are all so freaking complicated. The bread is also different its not the seaseme seed bun or an onion bun.

                    And every arbys I have been through, has only one drive through window, even the larger cities.

                      I found myself laughing at this one cause one man came into our store and had a 5.00 meal deal coupon. You get a 6 inch, drink, and chips for 5.00 (well 5.35 after taxes). When I rang the man up he was shocked and argued with me for 10 minutes cause he thought the coupon was WORTH 5.00 dollars. Not to mention after all that he came the next week and tried it again

                          I want Arby's now too, but the closest one to me is across the border in New York! I don't think it's quite worth the drive....at least not yet.

                            I used to get the best cherry turnovers at the Arby's that was in my mall. So cherry-filled and covered in sugar! Mmmmmm! I was so sad when they closed.

                            I used to love the pretty glasses you could get at Christmas time too!

                              Not for nothing, but if they're closed when you get off work, then it doesn't really matter what they are, does it?
