Arbys

[petie6464]

Knuckleheads.. If you weren't still wet behind the ears you would know there was a time when you went into Arby's and they had a big roast beef sitting in the slicer, when you placed your order the person working the slicer cut your roast beef and made your sandwiches.

Then came along the Roast Beef Dog.. A processed and formed round piece of some kind of meat shit product. I'm sure that's been downgraded to some kind of "GMO food product" label.

Eat-up foo's

 

[Vamodsquad]

Democrats have ruined everything, including quality roast beef sandwiches

We generally don't eat out at restaurants much. My wife is a gourmet chef. She cooks every day and she will make extra so I can take it the next day for lunch so I am very lucky there.

However, I've seen these videos online where people are saying screw it to the fast food places and going to Chilis instead and picking up lunch. I just went online and checked the lunch special prices at chilis and these are all $10. That's a really good deal compared to McD's and all the other crappy fast food places.

This is what I do as well. Although I am the cook. What sucks is we have been traveling too much this year. In El Paso now to see the grand kids, so we have been eating out. Can't wait to get home Monday and cook. I would cook at my kids house, but can't go there very long. He caved into the kids and got cats, which I am very allergic to.

This will be his campaign strategy.

 

[JFMFG]

This is why we don’t eat fast food or go to eat out very often anymore. It’s not that we can’t afford it. I refuse to pay the pricing for it especially with the quality of food and service now. I guess I’ll go be poor somewhere else.

 

[NicPaus]

I eat out a lot lately. Yesterday Rudy's for breakfast and El torito for dinner. Excellent service and excellent food at both spots. I am a regular though and tip heavily when I get excellent service.

 

[Big B Hova]

I remember when I was a kid, and McDonald's had 29 cent hamburgers and 39 cent cheese burgers. They had rows of pre made burgers under heat lamps ready to go.

@Bigbore500r and I went tent camping at Pismo beach with bunch of friends and brought no food, only alcohol. On the way in we stopped and bought like 3 bags full of burgers, and ate them all weekend.

There was a point in time where fast food was cheaper than buying food.

We cook every day except Fridays, sometimes the kitchen staff needs a break... LOL...

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

$20 foot long? Id rather go to a real sandwich shop!

Bro, tell me about it. I got one of there "mini" #13 sandwiches with a bag of chips and no drink. It was almost $15!!

 

[OldSchoolBoats]

Not shocking.

I haven’t set foot in one in 4 years, but a few weeks ago it was the only thing between the off ramp and the hospital where I was going, so I stopped. Almost $50 for 3 sandwiches.

I don’t mind paying that for Jersey Mike’s or Togos, but not subway crap

I remember going to subway for the first time in the mid 80's, really good, it's not the same sandwich now. It was a better 25 years ago than it is now.

We don't have a Togo's here anymore , quiznos was good too but they were 2.5 times subway 20 years ago and they are gone as well

Because like anything corporate it’s a race to the bottom to cut costs, quality, and portions and jack profits for shareholders benefit.

I have to laugh when I see their commercials. If you actually wanted a sandwich to look like the one in the commercials it would probably be $30 worth of extra meat, etc to attain it.

[PlanB]

Have not eaten out in over three years due to the crazy diet I have been on, but I actually don't miss it much. Sushi is about the only thing I miss, and I can't eat that right now.

 

[Javajoe]

In n Out #1 is 10.00. Kinda shocked me. Still the best fast food burger around though.

What burns my ass is the 18*20*22% tip suggestions...when did we become so incompetent? Raising the prices already gave you a higher tip ain't no way I'm going to give you a raise on top of a raise. 15% was always considered a good tip. Now they get tips plus make $20 minimum an hour and politicians are considering not taxing tips.

Looks similar to my happy hour bill at El torito. 4$ modelos. I left $55 with tip last time. I hate waiting for my beer. It comes like clockwork when I tip good. I was at taco cart last night. Threw him $2 and he loaded so much extra asada on it I have half leftover.

El Toritos are dropping like flies. Visit while you can. Dana Point Gone, Laguna Hills Gone, HB both locations gone Beach and Edinger now a BJ's and Bolsa @ Goldenwest been gone a month now. They have good food so why I am not sure. Dana Point they were kicked in favor of a Chewy's that will land there once the Harbor construction is over.

I used to frequent Arbys for their BLT which they recently dropped from the menu so I dropped Arbys.

All the while Jersey Mikes has a line out the door at lunch time. Thats a decent sandwich.

Yeah. They are hurting. They fired the manager of over 30 years. Said they are chopping all the older employees. Brought in manager from location that closed in LB. They said there rent went so high they shut it down. They own the location I go to. They have happy hour everyday until 9pm in bar area. To try and keep it full. But it's been slow. A lot of my regular spots to eat are slow. I try and do my part to support them. Prices are so high I can see why nobody goes out go eat. My breakfast burrito is now $18.50. Today trio fajitas is the special. I got a 11am estimate on a new construction and then have lunch. Debating sit down with fajitas or something fast and work the last half the day.

A lot of chain restaurants around us have closed due to rents going too high. My brother in Commercial RE explained the reasoning. Basically a landlord can increase property value by increasing rent. What blows my mind is that the building doesn’t have to be occupied lol. This is the reason you’ll see a vacant restaurant building for 5+ years.

Typically the same landlord has 10, 20, 30+ properties so it’s in their best interest to let one sit vacant (with a “higher” value) in order to increase the portfolio value.

If they were to lease out the space for a lesser value now the property/portfolio goes down in value.

I assume that someone like @ChumpChange can explain the banking/loan implications and reasoning behind it.

 

[jetboatperformance]

Personally dont see how any of these FF or "Mom and Pops" are surviving or even "treading water" at least in Cali they are being taxed and legislated out of business . Then just wait to see what Kamalas price controls do Was thinking yesterday as a merchant what my reaction would be if the Govt came along and put a cap on my pricing

Yes and no. Definitely don’t want property sitting vacant but at the same time, if the landlord has many properties and drops the lease rate on one, he is actively creating comps for those other properties that need to be leased out or renegotiated as leases come up.

Also, with lease rates coming down especially on these 100,000sf properties in Ontario, accepting a lower lease rate where the property doesn’t debt service the loan, can be a covenant violation. so they leave it vacant hoping something will stabilize.

I have a property owner right now that was referred to me for consultation as he has the construction loan phase on his loan coming due. When they got the loan they were projecting $1.70 per foot on the property and now he’ll probably be lucky to get $1.30 per foot. This is an anmzing property too, just bad timing. If he completed last year he’d have that $1.70 for then next ten year.

From a bank perspective… Interest only construction debt switching to amortizing permanent financing, it’s not going to cash flow. And that’s IF he gets a tenant.

Over 30% of properties listed for lease in the Inland Empire are now subleases. It’s interesting out there.
