	Agreed. The food is excellent. But, there was one time when me a few  
friends had a real problem there. We once ordered just buns. No meat, no  
nothing, just the buns. We then went over to the "fixin's bar" and put  
vegetables on our buns. We thought it was great. We'd get charged like a buck  
and a half for buns, and then get some vegetables- very filling. 

	One night, the manager of the Fuddrucker's up in Alexadria (the one a  
few miles from Thomas Jefferson High School for Tech.) decided he didn't like  
our "trick" of getting food for a buck and a half, and decided to do several  
really stupid things. 

	First, he came over to us and asked us what we thought we were doing.  
We told him, POLITELY.
	He then told us it was "against the rules to order buns." 
	We pointed out that the cashiers had a standard set price already in  
the register.
	He then told us that someone complained to him that we were "...  
begging money from customers so that you could buy a hamberger."
	I asked him if he was *SURE* that's *PRECISELY* what that customer had  
complained, that we were begging money for a *HAMBURGER* he said, "Yes.  
Positive."
	I smiled, and told him that we were ALL vegetarians, and that there  
was NO WAY we'd a) beg money, b) beg money for hamburgers.
	He turned a shade of red I haven't seen in a while, and went and  
called the cops.

	Nice guy.  Anyway. The food is good, just don't deal with the  
managers- on a severe power trip.
