This is why businesses fail…

Discussion

Went out last night to one of our local breweries and ordered the Parmesan/garlic fries from the food truck on site. It was $13.

What we received was a basket of unseasoned fries resembling what comes out of a bulk bag from Costco. The garlic was raw, minced garlic (the kind that comes in a jar) that was simply spooned on top of the fries. I guess if you like eating minced garlic straight out of the jar, you would like these fries. Not only was the taste terrible, it made the fries a wet, soggy mess.

I know factors like commercial rents, labor costs, etc. are hurting businesses and I don’t have all the answers. But this was so half-assed and low effort, it was ridiculous.

Like most, I don’t have a lot of disposable income left at the end of the month and going out is a rare treat. I’m not expecting a gourmet experience at a food truck, but for a $13 order of fries I expect something better than *this.* I mean, come on.

This is an example of why people aren’t going out to eat anymore.
