So after my Arby's band-aid encounter, I wrote their corporate office a letter through their website. I didn't want to get anyone fired or anything like that, and so I mentioned that the manager had been very nice and apologetic. I just wanted to let them know that it might be a good idea for their employees to wear gloves while handling the food (I mean, even if the band-aid hadn't fallen into the food, it's a bit gross to think about someone even touching the food with a band-aid). I very nicely said that I hoped they'd implement this policy, so that I could continue eating at their chain.

This was a couple days ago. I didn't hear from them, through phone nor e-mail. And then yesterday I received something in the mail that made me laugh out loud, and at the same time, kind of pissed me off:

 

 

They sent me a gift card for a COMBO MEAL! I can't decide if it's more ironic or stupid. There wasn't even a note or anything included with the card. The BEST part is, it has an expiration date! AHAHAHAHAHA!

 

 

Apparently, making me a VIP is supposed to make me feel all better about their food-handling practices.

I may frame this.
