Carl’s Jr. – Sandy, Utah store

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Salt Lake City, burgers, restaurant — meatlover @ 5:17 am

I failed to mention my conversation the other night at my VERY LOCAL Carl’s Jr. All I wanted was a little information from the employee. I swear the man was the reincarnation of Manuel on Fawlty Towers.

Me: Who owns this Carl’s Jr?

Manager: Huh?

Me: Who is the owner of this place?

Manager: Oh… I see. Come with me. (He leads me to the exit and shows me the painting of Karl and Wifey)

Me: No; not him. The name of the guy that owns this store. This store; right here.

Manager: I don’t know.

Me: Well, who is your boss?

Manager: He’s not here. I don’t know where. (smiles) I just don’t give a shit.

I tried not to laugh. I don’t think he understood, and probably wouldn’t give a shit anyway…

Carl’s Jr, Fort Union and 1300 East, Midvale, Utah

This one’s a gem.

I called on this facility a month ago and the corporate office sent me a couple of coupons for free hamburgers. Yes, I ate them, but that does not keep me quiet. Tonight was almost hilarious.

Before I go further, I did promise the woman on the hotline that I would remove this from the website when I feel the problem was resolved. I told her not to send coupons since that wasn’t going to solve the problem.

The posted hours of operation here 8 am to 10 pm on Sundays. I have had this issue before with them, but that was on a Saturday morning that listed 6 am as the opening time. It was 8 am before they opened.

I tried to open the doors, but they were locked. I had to pee, so I wanted satisfaction. I called the incredibly helpful woman on the phone, and she asked for every little detail including a description of the employee. She wanted his name, but I couldn’t get in. I decided to go through the drive-thru.

While she was still on the phone, I asked the employee his name. He refused to give it. The woman said she couldn’t hear what he said, so I asked him again. He said that the dining room was closed and only the drive-thru was working. I asked his name again and he refused. She said she had never come across anything like this before.

I drove to the window and he reminded me that the dining room was closed. I asked his name again, and ‘Cuyler’, as the name tag stated refused to speak. I asked to speak with the manager and he took off. He came back 2 minutes later (I timed it) and told me that ‘Francisco’ “was the Shift Leader, but (was) really busy cooking the food.” I told him that I would call the owner tomorrow. Before I got off the phone with the hotline, she told me that they would be able to get all the names with the records.

This woman also stated that she would submit this to the District level, which with my understanding can cover up to 30 stores.

I hope this woman can accomplish all she said she could. If she does, I will remove this and say something nice for once.

Maybe.

Carl’s Jr, 2100 South 1250 East, Salt Lake City

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Salt Lake City, Utah, burgers, restaurant — meatlover @ 11:26 pm

Yes, I have mentioned this outfit before. I was having a breakfast burger (Jalepeno Burger) at 7 a.m., an hour after they opened. I suggest that if you don’t want the combo meal when ordering, order your drink first. If they ask you if you want a combo meal when you order the burger, explain to them that you ordered the drink first to see if they can think for themselves.

My real point of this rant is the cleanliness at this time of day: there wasn’t any. The bathroom looked like the one out back of ‘Joe’s Garage’. The carpet in front of the soda machines looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a week. There was so much grime under the table, that I finally took my order to go.

Carl’s Jr.

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Corpsey, PETA, endangered species — meatlover @ 3:52 am

I put PETA crap on my website. Why is it that Democratic organizations like PETA want to take everything in life away from humans? When they’re finished saving every living creature except human beings, will we become endangered and then there will be a campaign to save us?

PETA is full of dipshits.

Carl’s Jr and Combo Meals

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Famous Star, Utah, burgers, restaurant — meatlover @ 2:16 am

Yeah, I’ve been a little hard on Carl’s Jr, but for years now I’ve been plagued by near brain-dead employees whose grasp of the English language is pathetic. I watched a man in his mid-70’s lay into a South American ’till jockey’, because she couldn’t comprehend his order. It was a busy lunchtime crowd, and I think he’d had enough. All we could do to help was to applaud his firm stance on English being at least one of the allowable languages in the United States.

Oh… what started the anger? He ordered a sandwich his way. Not her way. His way was a Famous Star without ketchup and a small drink. Her way was a Famous Star with Cheese in a super-sized combo. He was also offered cheesecake, but I don’t think he understood her.

The gentleman could not get the surprised employee to understand that he did not need to become a sweaty, overweight, soon-to-be-depressed American who has a habit of eating large combo meals. Hell, it’s bad enough that he orders one of the unhealthy burgers, but it’s another thing to add fries and shite on top of that.

The ‘disagreement’ ended with the employees laughing at him behind his back, and making rude comments about him in their native tongue. Because of incidents like this, people stop going to places like Carl’s Jr.

Eventually he got his order and was too pissed-off to return it no matter what was wrong.

Please understand that employees of places like Carl’s Jr can call the police and have you removed from the premises. The police can be real dicks about the whole thing, too. Most of them go their entire career without shooting anyone, so they are always on the lookout for any opportunity.

This Carl’s Jr restaurant is at 2100 South and about 1250 East, in Salt Lake City.

Carl’s Jr “actresses”

Paris Hilton? I’m still having a hard time with it. If you’re looking for babes or porn stars, I have some other suggestions:

Jenna Jameson

Elisabeth Shue

Billie Piper

Jaime Pressly

Any Victoria’s Secret model

Olivia D’Abo

Linda Fiorentino

This chick down at the Pizza Hut (don’t know her name)

The chick across the street who leaves the blinds open (not the ugly one with the rolls)

Your sister

Your momma

Oprah

Damn! Wouldn’t that be the funnest commercial? Oprah crushing – I mean – rolling around on a Bentley?

Carl’s Jr – endangered species food suggestions

Filed under: Carl's Jr., burgers, endangered species, exotic meats, recipes — meatlover @ 3:38 am

I hope the title isn’t deceiving. I think in all fairness it’s unlikely Carl’s Jr will use these recipe ideas. I don’t know what Carl’s Jr Guadalahara uses for meat, so just in case they run out of dog or something, they’ll have options so their customers will stay happy.

Anyway, I do not suggest that anyone go out and kill an endangered animal, or any other animal, unless the animal pulls the trigger first.

The recipes are for fun and any type of meat may be substituted.

Kensington Books and the .extras

Filed under: Corpsey — meatlover @ 7:50 pm

I may have mentioned my purchase of several of the Kensington Books .this and that. I’m now using them to advertise my book, and will use it to publish all future books, unless of course they decide to pick up all my books. He-he.

Latest trip to Layton, Utah, Carl’s Jr.

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Corpsey, Layton, Utah, burgers, free coupons — meatlover @ 7:44 pm

So I headed to the Carl’s Jr. in Layton, Utah last night to feed the kiddies, and ran into my usually, yet varied headache. This time I brought in one of my coupon bribes for calling Corporate and being rather pissed off about the 3″ of grime on the floor of their Salt Lake store on 13th East. It was for a free Famous Star (the banner burger). An argument quickly ensued when I was told I couldn’t use it as a combo. I explained that I couldn’t agree more. They continued to tell me the same story over and over and I said I would buy the drink and fries separately, and it wouldn’t sink in. I finally explained to them how one gets a free coupon for a burger; that incompetence in service plays a major role, and then the light bulb came on.

I just don’t understand how it can be so difficult to think outside the box, the bun, or whatever.

The Carl’s Jr. Playplace on Highland Drive in Sandy, Utah

Filed under: Carl's Jr., Carl's Jr. Playplace, McDonald's, burgers — meatlover @ 7:12 pm

The Playplace at the Carl’s Jr. on Higland Drive in Sandy, Utah is a complete toilet. I’m considering taking some 6 am photos on a Monday morning to prove my case. There is always some sort of food product, half-eaten, spread all over the plastic mat.

Ask the employee to clean the place?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha (infinity).

As for me and my house, we’re now willing to drive the extra couple of miles to the clean McDonald’s Playplace.
