Burger King pulls ad that offended Mexicans

Even more amazing, In-N-Out is famous for paying their employees a ton (you start at about $10/hr despite the fact minimum wage is $8/hr) but they still manage to keep their food cheap. $5 will get you a double cheeseburger, fries, and a drink with change to spare.

Store managers have been known to make like $75,000-$100,000 a year depending on sales.

The fast food place I worked at the manager made about $2,500 a month.

Michigan sure could use those jobs right now

Burger King should bring back those ads that showed people all angry because they thought Burger King stopped selling whoppers


Those were funny

Too bad there's no In-N-Outs. They're good, too. Way better than most fast food. They do everything the old-fashioned way there.

The reason they pay their employees so much is they always do a good business. Every time I've ever been to an In-N-Out the place has always been packed...no matter what time of day it is.

I want some In-N-Out

Only fast food burger joints they have in my area are Burger King; McDonalds; Wendy's; White Castle and Rally's

No White Castle here although sometimes I see ads on TV. No Rally's either.

We've got Burger King, McDonalds, Carl's Jr., Wendys, Taco Bell, In-N-Out, Del Taco, Subway, Quiznos, A&W, KFC, Jack In the Box, and probably a few more that I forgot.

We also have Taco Bell; Subway; Quiznos; Arby's; Long John Silvers and KFC


And have A&W

But I like their coney dogs and root beer better than their burgers

We have Wienersnitzls (no clue how that's spelled and I've never eaten there).

No Arbys here
Nearest Arbys is like 60 miles. My aunt's boyfriend wanted to open one up but the franchise fee is $300,000....so much for that.

If the Tigers hit 3 home runs in a game

You can take the box score to Arby's and get a free sandwich

I saw that commercial. That's a good deal. Arby's kicks ass.

For Red Wings Games


If a Red Wing gets a hat trick during a game

Fans also can get a free sandwich by bringing a score of the game

There are still A&Ws around? Michigan must be the worst place for fast food. No In-N-Outs, A&W, Sonic...

Why is Rally's called Checkers?

Hat trick is harder to get than 3 home runs I think. That's less good of a deal.

Yep - two of them within 15 miles of me (one is combined with KFC so it doesn't have a full menu).

We don't have Sonic around here although they do have them in this state. No local Del Tacos or Chik-Fil-A either (again, they have them in this state just not locally).

You guys don't even have Hardees, do you?

They have two A&Ws in Trashy Park


One on Southfield

The other inside a Marathon Gas Station on Dix and Moran



Also is one in Southgate on Eureka Road

And in Taylor on Ecorse Road


They used to have the A&W bear wave at cars as they drove by


But they don't do that anymore

Let me look...

Actually there is one pretty close to where I live, in Hazel park. That's only 2 miles away.

Shows you how much I go there.

Used to have Hardees until about 1997


I liked their biscuits and gravy and their burgers

No drive-in restaurants here (the kind where you park, they come up to your car, and bring you food, etc.).

We used to have the 21st Street Drive-In but they're closed. They say they're going to reopen soon but I doubt it. They're food was edible and cheap. I only ate there a few times but it was kind of neat. Hopefully they do reopen.


Luckily we have lots of good Mexican restaurants still

Wow, there's one in Warren too. Where have I been? I need to pay attention more often on what's around me.

The A&Ws in Taylor; Southgate; and on Southfield Road are Drive Ins

That's the good thing about living in a town of 30,000 - you notice new things.


Actually I just noticed they're putting a Bed Bath and Beyond way on the outskirts of town. That'll never work. It's nowhere near anything. The one 30 miles away just went out of business and it had a good location.

Before I get on the subject of Drive In Movies


All this talk about food is making me hungry


Gonna get some before Hockey Game


GO WINGS!

Do they roller skate? Our old Drive-In didn't.

Oh yeah, we have Foster Freeze. That's a fast food place. It's like Dairy Queen.

Not many Mexican places

In Grand Blanc or Fenton there's a Mexican place that my family ranted and raved about (it even had real Mexicans working there ).

I went there and had a burrito (it was like $10 ). Let's just say it sucked.

Across the street from the post office here we have 4 Hermanos. It's a regular sit-down place (they wait on you and everything). Burritos are $4.50. Add a side of guacamole (which is made from real avocados...they cook it to order and there's all kinds of good stuff mixed in with it) and you're good to go.

Lunch for 2 is under $20 including tip. Way better than what I had in Michigan.
