On the way home Hubbs thought he would stop at our local Arbys for his evening meal.

What a disaster,no milkshakes,no Coke, no choco chip cookies.

And no employees to make all that stuff.

I read a lot of comments on the Next Door App about our local Arbys about it being poorly managed and not too clean.

@godi If there is no delivery of the stuff to make those things-no stuff.

...and then there's that "beef". 

I always found it to be rather strange in taste, texture, color.

I used to love the roast beef with lettuce and tomato, and catsup!

Same here. Can't believe people eat this UNHEALTHY food. Loaded with sodium.

I usually don't post anymore.  I rather just read until I have to go in the shower in the morning but I had to jump in here.....

Decades ago.  It had to be in the early 70s.  When Arby's first came out.  Their roast beef sandwiches were just amazing.  We had one near us.  EVERY day the place was packed with people buying lunch.  Well, that was great because I enjoyed it too here and there UNTIL.....

One fine day it was business as usual, everyone was there buying like crazy just like me and when I went to eat I discovered the meat was, now viewer discretion advised.......the meat was GREEN and well, you get the picture.  The very next day the place was a ghost town.  After that, I NEVER, EVER went back.....

TRUE story.  I was very disappointed and shocked and I felt sorry for all the others that had the same experience.

It's been many, many years since I ate at Arby's.  I rather liked their "roast beef" but it was strange - the texture was like a luncheon meat.  Their french fries were good.  But the restaurant itself was such a turn-off that I didn't return and now it's closed.

Unfortunately, I believe this is not a rare occurrence for many places!  I was at an Arby's not long ago and had no problems.  However, I didn't order shakes or cookies, but only a roast beef sandwich.  I just got a plain roast beef with their red sauce, which I have always loved and I still found it to be very good.

DH and I went to a well know chain restaurant a couple weeks ago and it was in the middle of the day.  We ordered our meals and no problem.  But we overheard the people sitting nearby us giving their orders to the waitress and the gentleman wanted a hamburger and the waitress told him --- we are out of hamburgers.  Then he wanted fish and she said --- sorry, we are out of fish!  

I went to Wendy's the other day.  Dining room closed - again --- due to covid -- the sign said.  I wasn't going to eat in the dinining room --- just going to pick up food to take home.  So, I had to wait in a long line of customers in the drive through line!  Some restaurants are closed here because there is nobody who wants to work there.  Same thing with stores here --- signs up saying ---- help wanted --- apply within!
