Attention Arby's: You suck.

Reasons why Arby's, with particular attention to the Arby's on Hammond Drive, sucks.
  1. They switched to Pepsi products last year. I could forgive this somewhat, because the Jamocha shakes are still quite tasty.
  2. They no longer have baked potatoes
    • The guy behind the counter suggested I get an order of the "Loaded Potato Bites", which are essentially deep fried tater tots with cheese and bacon in them. Not that I have anything against deep-frying, tater-tots, bacon, or cheese; on the contrary, I'm a huge fan of deep-frying, tater-tots, bacon, and cheese. But it's certainly no substitute for a baked potato
  3. They no longer have HomeStyle Fries.
    • Worse - they guy behind the counter said they replaced them with the potato cakes. I'm not sure what his definition of "replace" is, but they had them both (along with curly fries) for as long as I can remember.
Many times in the past I've gone into Arby's and ordered a loaded baked potato, an order of homestyle fries, and a diet coke. (see.. the diet coke cancels out the sour cream and cheese, and the healthy "baked" potato cancels out the french fries. I never figured out how to counterbalance the bacon and butter, though...) Now, apparently, I'm stuck ordering a milkshake and a dry-ass roast beef sandwich.

In summary:
Arby's -- you suck.

Sincerely,
Jake
