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.
