The local Hardees I frequent on the way into work in Pace, Florida by and large has a friendly staff. My only issue has re-occured over the years there. They have pictures shown of a biscuit or sandwich that in no way resembles what is served. Case in point is the Pork Chop and Gravy biscuit that is back. The first couple times I ordered one and took to my office 4 minutes down the road, I took it back the next day or complained with my receipt indicating they gave me a plain pork chop biscuit. I finally came to realize, most of the time, I would have gravy added to one side, not both as advertised and in a small enough amount to totally soak into the biscuit, leaving no discernible traces of gravy behind. Today was no exception. I have plenty to do at work without worrying about the amount of gravy on a biscuit. But when it taste like a plain pork chop biscuit, looks like a plain pork chop biscuit, it might as well be a plain pork chop biscuit! (picture attached)

I can only surmise, the bulk of replies are from fast food employees. I can additionally assert, I am not a sheep to be herded by any coorporation. I also routinely fire incompetent employees. If Hardees intent is to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit, then the $8.00 an hour employee should put gravy on both sides of a biscuit. I've had this conversation with the local store manager in the past and she has disclosed that is the case. How many times do you have to get back to your house with an order or have the pizza guy drop a pizza off and leave only to find your order wrong before you have a right to complain? I find people taking time out of their 'busy' lives to complain about other people complaing a bit ironic. Don't you?

I can only surmise most of the replies here are from fast food employees. I can also assert I am not a sheep that takes or does as I’m told by any corporation. If it is a business’s intent to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit, then it is the $8.00 an hour employee’s responsibility to put gravy on both sides of a biscuit.
I’ve had this conversation with the local manager in the past and she acknowledged the order was not fixed as it should be.
How many times does an individual have to bring an order home or have the pizza guy drop a pizza off and leave, only to find out his order is wrong, before he has the right to complain? This is an issue that has transcended many fast food restaurants over the years and is just one venting.
But if you find the magnitude of this one complaint to petty to voice, I will try to limit my displeasure with the fast food industry to bouts of salmonella poisoning or rats running loose in the John.

I guess what Tasha is trying to convey is there is a minimum threshold in this world where complaining is justified and complacency is the norm. I must have missed that chapter where that threshold was defined.

I will say, this is more entertaining than a 30 min. coffee break. I find it amusing the amount of efffort people will spend, complaining about a complaint. Irony drips. Anyway, for Tasha, who can't read? In no way do you have evidence I sent a 'private' message saying let starving children die. Since I did not do that. Which leads me to the question, 'can you read', or are you just bi-polar and have to have a battle a fight every second of your pointless life. And yes, I did preview your page and saw how feverent you post complaints. All earth saving I might add. Anyway, it was fun and for the record, please review picture attached. I showed the Hardee's manager the picture I originally posted and guess what? Biscuit replaced at no charge and gravy on both sides! Case won. Now on to more important topics. Starving children and when when society impose mandatory birth control so humanity will stop breeding like cockroaches! Oh, almost missed the last Tasha posting. Yes, I sent the editor a message. It appeared that posting failed to post while another one did, so I did multiple attempts. You win that one Tasha.

Thanks Cary for keeping them straight! Other than a pet peeve with Hardees, I was just enjoying a little bantering. Nothing on here worth getting mad over!

Feb 22, 2013 9:33 am EST

Oh! I didn't read up far enough. First, lets ALL read from the beginning. I voiced a complaint about Hardee's and 'Tasha' lit into me! Not the other way around. Second, my sister is bi-polar, my wife, her mother and her sister are bi-polar. I've been to many classes on it. I live that nightmare every day of my life! Yes, I poked fun at Tasha because she is on a rant and that is very typical of people with Bi-polar disorder. I hope that clarifies my position on this subject, well except for the ones here that live eternally for the next fight!

And I guess I'll try one more time for the Sharon person. You indicate you don't believe me about sending 'private' messages to the Tasha woman. I would only ask her to verify that through this board mediator. I am sure they could produce this message and even admonish me if I violated any forum standards. Hope this helps, but I won't hold my breath!

Update by Dennis
Feb 22, 2013 9:58 am EST

Well, this is interesting. I was signed in, posted two more posts after my reply to Cary, saw them and closed. I received a notice a comment was posted. I re-opened this post, found no new one and my last two are gone. WHAT UP? Right up there my previously posting one three times because one minute it's there, the next it's not. Don't tell me I have a new rant to go on! Improperly running forum here! LOL.

Update by Dennis
Feb 22, 2013 10:27 am EST

No doubt. Well, I can't let my last rebuttal go by unread, so I'll try and re-create it.

Jeannette: My sister is bi-polar. My wife, her mother and sister are bi-polar. I've attended many meetings concerning this disorder. I lived the nightmare of dealing with this disease for years. Yes, I did poke fun at Tasha and accuse her of being bi-polar. Her unsubstantiated continuous ranting is very typical of that disorder. I will additionally comment, this disorder can be genetic in nature and passed down. IF your Grandfather has it, I would keep an eye out as to your own mental health as well.

Sharon: You indicate I am the basher here? I would like everyone to read from the beginning of this thread. I voiced a pet peeve concerning truth in advertising with Hardees and Tasha lit into me. Not the other way around. You indicate you do not believe me about 'private' messages Tasha claims to receive over and over. I asked she produce such a message. Better yet, ask the board mediator to produce it. If any forum standards were violated, they could also address that!
Again, the Hardees manager agreed the employee fixing the poke chop biscuits was not following direction and asking for 'extra gravy' should not be necessary.

Anyway, when we've exhausted this topic, I'm ready for my next major complaint. Not enough mustard and one tiny pickle on my cheese Krystals!

I assume the messages I tried to post here will show up eventually, like the one I reposted three times. I won't try to type all of that again. One point I wanted to make though is this constant referencing about private rude messages, alluding as fact, not an unfounded allegation. Tasha has yet to produce one. Can someone ask the board moderator if any were sent from my user account? If so, I should be admonished for doing so. Most forums have rules of conduct. Just a thought!

Well, since the Tasha tard is using profanity on here, I can only assume she is right about the administrators are not too strict here. I find it interesting, she won't take me up on producing those 'rude' messages she claims exist. And yet, she is quick to assume I am lying about my exposure to Bi-polar disorder. I can assure you, if anyone here knows someone with it, they know the behavior is very typical of a Tasha type.
I swear, if I didn't know better, I would think I've gotten myself embattle with a bunch of 12 year olds or half wits. I've never seen peeps so ready to dish up unfounded crap and beat their chests claiming it to be the truth! Well, the handwriting is on the wall. This is a complaint board and the only people here are here to complain. Have a nice, rest of your pointless, miserable lives! I'm off to make some other fast food manager's life miserable!

Well. I was going to type, 'Same answer. Moved on to next complaint'. but Dam Tasha '13'. Your just too much fun.
I know this is pointless for you, but I'll type it for the other 'well' informed readers on here.
1. Teasing about Bi-Polar disorder. Anyone who has lived with and endured this dis-order for years, most certainly has earned the right to tease a bit. It is the most common explanation men use these days to explain a woman's irrational behavior. Yes, I did accuse you of having it, and yes you do exhibit typical behavior associated with it. If your just stupid or crazy, so be it. I'll drop the Bi-polar if you do.
2. Coming on to a complaint board to voice a complaint about bad service at a fast food restaurant should not, would not elicit such a vocal outcry as you did right off the bat. BEFORE the infamous comment about you must be a fast food employee! To any fast food employee's on this board with an ounce of work ethic, I hear-by apologize for the crude association with this Tasha '13' person!
3. In this country, it is generally accepted the accuser has the burden of proof. As to these, 'private' rude messages you keep referring to. I assure you, anything I type over a few sentences is delayed and apparently reviewed. So far, no word from the site administrators.
4. Ok Tash. Your up to bat!

Update by Dennis
Feb 28, 2013 12:37 pm EST

LOL. I finally made myself stop and read the TASHA tard's previous postings. All this time I'm wondering what I did to set her off, then come to realize she is like this with almost every posting on here. Talk about a loser with no life. I feel better now!

Update by Dennis
Mar 01, 2013 2:05 pm EST

Ok, I may need help interpreting what Tasha just said, but I'll give it a try.
1. 'No one earns the right to tease about Bi-polar disorder'. Well ok, that is your opinion. That is reasonable you have a different opinion than I do.
2. 'Rude Pm's'. Sorry Tasha, again, you state you have proof, but have thus failed to produce it. I have written the board administrator and have gotten a direct reply. It seems if these exist, between you and he, an example could be produced? And who is all of us? Are there other Bi-Polar, er I mean malcontent tards on here incapable of making a coherent argument?
3.' Without proof, I claimed we were all fast food employees'? Really Tasha. Are you the only one that can't see that as a tongue in cheek comment after you lashed into me daring to complain about a biscuit? Keeps getting better and better!

Mar 01, 2013 3:09 pm EST

LOL. She is a classic. Well Tash. By your insistence we keep bantering over making fun of people, I assume you include 90% of comedians in the world that at some point cross the line and poke fun of people, whether it' a physical, ethnic or 'tard' like quality.
Anyway, enough of that. well, it's obvious you cannot or will not provide proof on the rude messages thing. Which would be a waste, because you've been too much fun to poke fun at publicly.
Well, you called me out on proof I've spoken to Admin. on her. Kinda a 'Show me yours, I'll show you mine'? Now who is acting 10, Tasha? Really! Anyway, here is a copy of one reply from the board. I can only copy and paste it.

Good stuff. Some makes sense and of course, the rest unsubstantiated opinions. What is undeniable is the fact about how much energy people with nothing better to do will spend arguing pointless opinions.
But thats what makes this country special. As to these arguments...
1. The letter to the editor. AS I pointed out, I was only able to paste an email from them. ALL I was trying to say to Tasha forever known as 'The Tard' (sorry, I get to have a little fun too) was she could easily email the site Admin. and prove there were 'private' rude messages going to her. I'm sorry to have not asked by now, can I assume you can send private messages on here? Or is that only if an email is visual for your name? I admit, I haven't bothered to look.
2. Another individual, Bell Complaint, has come on board and stated, He dosen't think I have relatives with Bi-polar disorder. Again, I am amazed at the number of peeps that will assert baseless opinions. To assert an opinion such as, it would have been easier to resolve this at the store level is a perfectly valid opinion. I wish to say once again, this was done multiple times. Posting on this site was just an attempt to vent and call attenion to a reoccuring problem. I never realized it would lead to so much entertainment. Keep up the good work!

LOL... sorry I've been gone for two weeks. Living a real life gets in the way sometime. I see Tasha missed me so much, the troll is still posting on this dated post. And to S. Lang, thanks for the advice and seeing Tash as she is. Miserable, alone and mentally unbalanced. But I only commented back and egged her on because I like a little bantering back and forth sometime. I'm sure I'll be amused when she explains her last comment above about counterdicted stories. (Although I am assuming she meant contradicted).

Wow. Can the troll really just be 14? Peeps put numbers on the end of their usernames all the time. It did not occur to me a 14 year old teenager has absoulutely nothing better to do than hang out on a site like this! But when I read a couple other comments of hers on other topics, they are carbon copies of what she has typed here. Ouch! I guess I hit the nail on the head when I brought up mental illness. Ok.

You know what Dennis I urge you not to use this website. This admin on this website are not helpful and they allow people like Tasha13 to troll on the website while we are treated like we are the ones in the wrong. I have tried to submit a complaint three times and they would not allow it to go through without approval. This is sad because people like Tasha13 are allowed to post rude comments to other people and not get into trouble for it. (If you click on her username she has 30 pages of comments) Yet when we post we need our posts approved. It seems like this site favors members such as Tasha13 and punishes us just for sharing our experiences.

If that message is for real all it proves is that you requested that you change your username. It does not prove you are innocent of not sending PM's to Tasha, besides if you read correctly Tasha never claimed you sent her vulgar PM's she claimed you sent her one about how hungry children should die of hunger and that to me is not vulgar. Also the fact that you asked for your username to be changed makes me more suspicious. Why change your username if you are innocent. Boy do you and Tasha both like to take things far. You sound like an old bitter married couple.

First of all Tasha I know exactly what you are doing and I have my doubts that Dennis got the letter from the administrators of the site as well. I certainly know William did not. As stated it is very easy to compose something and pretend you got it from the admin as you, William and Dennis are doing. It is also very easy to post as someone else(The future King of England) on here as well. (then again maybe that poster actually believes he is William and is suffering from bi-polar. I do have my doubts however that Dennis's sister is suffering from bi-polar as he claims and believe he is just using that as an excuse for accusing you of having bi-polar.

I already stated that I know that your "letter" from the admin in false, and I think it is the same with the letter that Dennis received from the admin. And as William showed anyone can not only compose a bunch of crap and make it seem like they got the review from the admin but they can also pretend to be the future King of England.(though he may have bi-polar and actually believe he does)

However I do agree with you, I don't think that Dennis has any relatives with bi-polar and think he just made that up so his attacking you does not seem that bad.

I have had my fair shares with Tasha and she has bashed me in one of my reviews where I wrote a review about stealing from Zellers. I was angry that I got caught and made myself to be the victim. I apologized later on and admitted my fault. But Tasha continues to bash me so I have had my issues with her, but I must say she does have a point, how do we know that the message was sent by the actual moderators of the site and not something you just composted yourself to make yourself look innocent? I know Tasha did that with her last post.

This message is for Dennis.

My grandfather has bipolar disorder and for you to make fun and light of the issue to most your ignorant comment towards Tasha is very offensive. You may not like what people say. And frankly I don't care if you sent a PM to Tasha or not, but for you to make that comment about bipolar to make fun of Tasha shows exactly what kind of judgmental person you are and how you were raised and brought up.

Just like you bashed everyone else you are probably going to bash me for saying this. You did not need to take this issue this far. Like many others have stated you probably would have your issue solved if you simply asked for extra gravy. Frankly you claim that you did not send Tasha a private message, well guess what I don't believe you. Not many people do. You clearly bash everyone that posted on here. If you feel comfortable saying that where everyone can see who knows how you behave when you send private messages to people. Sorry, I am going to have to say I believe Tasha on this. Or perhaps you just forgot you sent her the message because you have multiple personality disorder. Perhaps it was one of the people in your head that sent the message.

There is not way you have evidence that more than one person is fast food employee. You just seem to be someone that likes to complain about silly and petty things and think you are better than everyone else. Why else would you think that you are in the right when it is the rest of us "losers" who are wrong.

"I can only surmise most of the replies here are from fast food employees. "

Actually like Tasha mentioned only one of us are fast food employees. So you saying that most of us are fast food employees is a big lie.

" In no way do you have evidence I sent a 'private' message saying let starving children die. Since I did not do that. Which leads me to the question, "

No offense but I believe Tasha hers, after all you already lied to us once by saying that most of us are fast food employees. That part is not true. How do we know you are not lying to us again about not sending private messages.

Anyone that complains about a simple issue such as not getting enough gravy when they could have done two things.

1. Checked their order before leaving.
2. Asked for extra gravy.

You did not need to take it this far, you could have simply done the mature thing and said.

"Please can I have some gravy on both sides as the ad shows.

Then the employee would have said.

"Sure, "

Then if you are not really as stuck up as Tasha said, you would have said

"thank you"

It could have been solved right then and there.

Also you really are stuck up, you think you are right and everyone else is wrong. Well face it that is not the case, as much as it may hurt your petty feelings this is not the case. So get off your high horse and grow the heck up.
