As for me---its Arby's. Ate there in HS and missed a whole soccer tournament because I had it running out of both ends so hard I was hospitalized.
Haven't eaten there since. -

This guy was high pressure but he didn't make any threats or anything. I would've just just got up and left, possibly knocked some shit off his desk, had he threatened us. -

We did the same thing on our honeymoon. We saved $200-300 off of our bill and got a free meal out of it. But we had to talk to 5 people before they took no for an answer.justincredible;1172962 wrote:Oh, absolutely.
Sat through one on our honeymoon in Aruba because we got a $100 restaurant giftcard. The guy was baffled that we wouldn't bite, very visibly annoyed when we left without buying from him. Sorry, dude, we only wanted the giftcard. I'd never do it again, though. Wasn't worth the hassle. -

Luckily we just had to talk with the one guy, if I remember correctly. He might have brought his "manager" in towards the end to try and "sweeten" the deal but I can't recall.OneBuckeye;1172978 wrote:We did the same thing on our honeymoon.

They are high pressure and annoying as fuck, but if you keep telling them no they eventually let you go. It does always take longer than they say it will. -

1. Some Lady take us to lunch gave us a pitch but didn't ask for answer then handed us off to..
2. Guy give standard pitch.
3. Guy who can work better with our "budget"
4. Manager, wearing what appeared to be a 100k watch, telling me 10k is nothing.
5. Some old lady, dressed in expensive ass clothes like number 4. We pretty much listened to this old lady and manager 4 talk about how we could afford it etc etc. -

Yea. I guess they suck because you couldn't pay your bill for a few months since you were a poor college student. Shame on them for wanting what was owed to them.SportsAndLady;1172713 wrote:Def stole this from Reddit, but whatever

Well the presentation was supposed to be 60-90 min or whatever. Well after the allotted time my parents said thank you for everything but we aren't interested, we'll take our gift and go. Well the 2 salesman said the presentation wasn't over until his manager came in and gave his spiel. Well he turned out to be a total dick and told my parents that they weren't moving an inch until they signed on the dotted line...basically saying that they had to buy if they ever wanted to leave. At that point my parents were just going to leave and call corporate when they got back to complain and get the gift card---but the manager blocked the door to the meeting room and told my dad to sit back down. My dad said he seemed like an ex-football type---about 6"4 250, so he didn't want to start shit, but this guy was holding them hostage.justincredible;1172977 wrote:Lol, seriously?

So thats when my mom called the local police because she felt this guy was going to get violent. The manager wound up getting fired, and we got double the gift card.
I'm all for high pressure sales and such, but you can't hold your audience hostage until they sign. -

CiCis sucked.
Ocharleys. Been there once, and it sucked and probably nhever again. I am surprised the one north of dayton by the interchange is still even open.
NEver again....Marriage of course.

yeah. They fucked up the first time, but the food was excellent. They fucked up the first go around on how to fix it, but made up for it and I think we ended up with like 60-70 in gift certificates, and their food was good.ernest_t_bass;1173015 wrote:Would you do Tumbleweed again?

It does add to the buzz. In the "imma gettin' fuckered up and NOW!" way. You don't drink a 4 Loco unless you plan to get smashed. And you feel like shit in the morning.

They're definitely on a "FUCK NO, NEVER AGAIN!" list for me with McDonald's and Wal-Mart. And, likely, any "American-style" buffet like Ryan's, Golden Corral, etc. -

Yikes, did the police actually come or did he let them go without incident after that? He probably should've been arrested in addition to being fired.chicago510;1173012 wrote:Well the presentation was supposed to be 60-90 min or whatever.

I don't mind them every once in a while. The thing I hate about them is actually being able to hear America getting fatter while I'm there. It's gross.ernest_t_bass;1173021 wrote:American style buffets are so fucking good. -
Gblockas far as drinks go..i will never go to winking lizard if i want anything besides beer.(beer selection and food are great). a while back i ordered a round of shots and when they were served the glasses looked empty. i not usually one to complain but honestly it looked like what is usually left when i dont finish my whole shot. granted i am used to bars that pour shots that would be doubles or more at most places but this was turrible...
... so i called the server over and was like wtf? she was like i dont pour them and the bottles have shot dispensers on them so the shots are 1oz shots. i said no way. so the manager comes over and gives me the same speil and tell him that first of all these are chilled shots so there is going to be some water in them so if anything it should be over one oz. he says ill prove it to you and goes and gets a 1oz shot glass and pours my shot into it and it only goes up to 3/4 of the glass....SILENCE. lesson learned. dont order a mixed drink or a shot from winking lizard on bethel road..they are overpriced and underpoured. -

Never again with Tanqueray - had a bad incident when I was a senior in high school and that was 13 years ago
also, sports jerseys. I think I'm way past that age (30) where it's appropriate to wear jerseys. Don't give a shit if other guys do it but it's just not for me -

Sonic is awesome, if you order the right stuff. Bascially, stuff they cant fuck up. Tater Tots, Slushies, etc.
CiCis I will never go to again. Its just awesome, and I dont like eating bad pizza, especially when it is only warm because its sittin gunder a heating lamp. -

That. And for me, I've dropped over 50 pounds in the past year. I'd rather not gain it back. I'm the sort of person who's good at maintaining a diet, but if I break it, I tend to break it for a loonnnnggg time. I could see me gorging at one of those fat havens and winding up gaining 15 pounds back over the next month. Fuck that shit. I'd rather keep things smooth and steady with small portions instead of going somewhere, dropping a few dollars and then eating 3 days worth of food at one meal.justincredible;1173023 wrote:I don't mind them every once in a while.
