My wife and I received free tickets to a concert a few weeks back, so we got a babysitter and went out on a nice little date. We weren’t hungry, but thought a stop at Steak ‘n Shake might be fun.
We ordered a couple shakes, a coke, and an order of cheese fries to split. The fries took a long time to come out, but the delivery was very interesting.
“Here are your cheese fries, and here are a plate of fries that are still warm.”
What? Did he say what I thought he said? He was right, though — the cheese fries were stone cold. I’m still trying to comprehend the logic behind that.
We would have complained about it, but it took 10 minutes just to find the guy again, and by then we needed to get our check and go.
We often wish that there was a Steak ‘n Shake closer to our house, but maybe we’re ok without one.

Any firm allowing such outlandish customer-unfriendly actions is doomed to failure.
And rightly so.
There is no shortage of food joints infesting the cities of the once-sovereign USA.
And with MILLIONS of illegal aliens willing to work at low wages since they are used to a 2nd- or 3rd-world life-style and are used to 2, 3, or more families per dwelling unit can thus exist at what is a non-livable wage for you and me, there will be no shortage of sub-par workers to man those multitudes of food establishments.
I ate at the named scarf-n-barf once and noted what I thought were prices on the high end, especially for the quality and quantity of the food tossed upon the plate then slid across the semi-clean table surface.
If willing to give the firm another chance to absolve themselves of their culinary sin, perhaps a letter to the corporate head office telling of the affair may lead to them atoning via a coupon for a free meal or sumpthin’.
