Hey FedEx, how dare you deliver something before your "delivered by" time.

As someone who's known people who worked at both places, I wouldn't even piss in the restroom at a Golden Corral; I'm pretty sure I'd leave with new and exciting diseases just from standing in front of the urinals. Luby's at least tries to appear clean(ish), even if most of the patrons have colostomy bags.

Growing up, my parents loved cafeteria restaurants (so I got subjected to them often.. and still do from time to time). Luby's isn't horrible, Furr's (today) is actually decent. I miss Wyatt's though; IIRC there was actually one attached to a mall (or in the parking lot of the mall) in my home town (El Paso) at one point. They don't seem to really exist outside of Houston anymore though. :corsair:

A buddy and I got pretty hosed up one day and went in to Luby's on a whim. We laughed when entering at how lovely it was and then I knew I was in for some disappointment when I only had like half a plate of food after walking through the entire line. They had chicken and other meats sitting in pools of water / oil / grease that looked absolutely inedible. I think I had a salad and some turkey and mashed potatoes and we both left dejected that we just spent like 10 dollars on half a plate of dry turkey.

That being said I've been to Golden Corrale a few times while also hosed up and that was 100% worth it because I at least got to laugh my rear end off at all the crazy people in there. You don't go to GC for the food you pay the money for pure entertainment of seeing kids dousing unusual food in the chocolate waterfall or watching a 400lb lady go back for 5th's on the chicken or some other inhuman feat that I could never hope to pull off.


E: Also, the parking lot of GC is an absolute goldmine for lovely donks or riced out civics. I'd highly recommend it all around.

Goddamnit. Mighty Fine is apparently Austin only; I assumed since it was a burger plate it'd be Whataburger. :downsgun:

I'm going to go ahead and be the guy that says it's okay to do that with a nice car at the rear end end of the (almost empty) parking lot, and double parking is one of the things that irrationally infuriates me the most.

If the parking lot is nearly empty, then why not just take up a single space at the end of the lot? You just look like a turd parking sideways across two.

Because if you drive a nice car and park in a single spot, it's inevitable that EVERY drat TIME a shopping cart finds its' way right to your bumper. It's some kind of evil karma catch-22 for driving a nice car.

I had someone describe their Honda Civic EX as a nice car. So I don't think that metric works.

I was going to say that's a good way to get your car messed up, but given what you're driving you probably don't care much. Besides, it's not like he's going to have any easy time making a quick getaway.

When you start tracking cars wheels become consumable, especially once r-comps come into play.

This is why we banned slicks at the VCHC a few years ago. The 355 Challenge had a wheel break, and being a Ferrari, it instantly caught fire. The driver was at the Sunday banquet eating dinner with the help of his wife, a whole head brace, and a grip of Percocet, but we didn't give him any poo poo about it - too scary.
