The worst is when the curly part sticks together on the tighter spirals making it so it doesn't get cooked! :(

one of the wing places around here did them but they always way over sauced their wings (in a good way) so you basically got buffalo curly fries for free

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I went to Carls Jr today and it was $3 cheaper than the last time I got that same combo. First time that has happened in a while.

I'm not sure if it was because I went to a different location than normal or they charge less during the daytime (since usually for me Carls is usually a post midnight thing) or they're SAVING MONEY BECAUSE OF THE VOICE ROBOT DRIVE-THRU which they put back in and it didn't work and I had to order with a real person after anyway.

I had to deal with one of these at the CJ's nearest me maybe half a year or a year ago and I have not been through their drive through again because of it, it was frustrating as hell.

For anyone who hasn't had the pleasure, its basically one of those lovely voice recognition automated call things like when you call tech support, except you're on the side of a super busy road with all the noise that entails.

"Hello welcome to Carl's Junior, would you like to try one of our combo meals?"

"No, I've got a coupon for a buy one get one for a dollar western cheeseburger"

"I heard you would like a cheeseburger, would you like to try a Famous Star cheeseburger meal?"

"No, WESTERN CHEESEBURGER"

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, let's try again, would you like to try one of our combo meals today?"

"No I want to use a coupon"

"If you have a coupon, please read the coupon code now."

"212456"

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, let's try again, please read the coupon code now."

"2 1 2 4 5 6"

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch that, would you like to try one of our combo meals today?"

"No, I just want..."

"Don't forget to add one of our delicious deserts to your order! Please order when ready!"

"w e s t e r n ... c h e e s e b u r g e r..."

"I heard ~french fry~. What size would you like?"

"gently caress this..."

*Pulls up to the window, waits for a few minutes because no order popped up on the screen for the people inside to see*

"Can I help you?"

Last time I went to CJ's and got the AI voice, all it took was trying to order one of the basic Big Hamburgers that got the system to panic and just put a flesh and blood human on speaker. So weird.

Lol but that's also true. Clearly the strategy tech companies need to use is have customer service so bad for so long that it makes the robot a fresh of air.

Yeah, it was long enough ago (maybe a year or so) that I'm sure I don't have the exact phrasing correct, but that was a pretty accurate depiction of the experience.

The couple of time since then I've either gone inside if possible or skipped it entirely. I'm not putting up with that if I've got options.

OK so if I decide that I want to be a turbo cheap rear end and maximize coupons and discounts and deals what's the best way to do that without installing apps?

I tried installing the McDonald's app and it told me it wouldn't install unless I gave it access to pretty much everything on my phone, including pictures and contacts and lmao gently caress that. I'm assuming most of the other fast food apps will do the same

Where do you all find coupons and discounts and deals?

I just use the ones I get in the mail and lol they have gotten steadily worse over the last year in particular. Gone are the days of simply X dollars off Y item, now everything is an invitation to spend more money to "unlock" a lower price on additional items you don't want (Buy One Get One 50% off, which should be illegal to call a BOGO- because you're not Getting One when you Buy One) :mad:

You can use their websites instead of the apps for the same deals almost everywhere. Yup still have to register an account but it won't have access to your phone..

I have the McDonald's app on android and it certainly didn't make me give them access to my contacts or camera or mic or anything though so I'm not sure what your talking about. All it really wanted was my location and I told it no. I drive to McDonald's and open the app, tell it out can use my location this one time only, plane my order then close the app after it recognizes I'm there
