Arby's Plays the Patriotic Card
Several days ago I was driving from one job to the next and realized I was thirsty. Knowing there was a Chick-fil-a in the area (I LOVE their iced tea!), I started looking for the American flag flying high, which is one of their trademarks. I spotted one coming up on the right and whipped into the drive-thru lane.
When I pulled up to give my order, something didn't look quite right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. The worker said, "That will be $1.43 at the first window." (On a side note -- when my husband is with me at a drive-thru window and the clerk makes that statement, he always asks, "Well how much is it at the second window?" But I digress.)
I pulled on around to pay and pick-up my drink. As she handed it to me I happened to see the label on the cup. I wasn't at Chick-fil-a at all! I was at Arby's! I've been scammed!
Of course, I soon realized that when I saw the flying flag I just assumed I was at Chick-fil-a. So it seems that Arby's has decided that more than one can play the patriotic card (and perhaps pick up a few extra customers). I say bring it on and let the (unsuspecting) consumer figure out where they are. The more flag waving we have, the better!
