First that shitty ice, and now the straws? 

What the hell is happening to In N Out?

Haven't been in months, but I'd pretty much guarantee this is not happening at the AZ locations. 

This is a California, more specifically city mandates. It certainly isn’t an INO thing.

I had the INO mustard fried and didn’t get it.

i agree with the social media part, but the amount & frequency of fighting is remarkably more. in the past there were fights between patrons but those usually happened in the parking lot and maybe occasionally carried into the dining area. now it's full blown fights against the staff at the restaurant, something that is unusually high these days.

Ive never seen a fight in a fast food establishment.

Tank sees them all the time. And even more now than 20 years ago.

I don't mind paper straws. Although I've never tried to drink a shake with one.

Hate them.

Why can't we find a biodegradable material that at least waits for you to finish your drink before it starts biodegrading?

I think 30 years ago people would just shoot them in the parking lot.

Loaded Breakfast Burrito at Carl's Jr. is pretty good. $4.76 out the door.

In Idaho.  In Calolfornia, it would be $8.76 + tip and service charge.

Holy crap, I was just kidding about the price.  Looked up on Grubhub and it is $8.29.

If you live locally and order breakfast burritos from McD's, you deserve an extra surcharge or three.

That's because GrubHub, DoorDash, etc. inflate the prices of items, even before they add the other fees.

It's showing up as $4.89 in the app in Colorado, $6.89 in California. So still a $2 difference.

One time I was sick or something and ordered McDonald's delivery. Never again. It cost like $17 when it would have cost $7 had I gone to McDonald's.

How do you drink a shake out of a paper straw?  Only time I haven't had a hard time is if it was a boba sized paper straw.  

Bob's Big Boy had paper straws with their shakes.  I think that is why you always got a long handle spoon.

People who bitch and moan about food delivery prices can screw.

I love Big Boy. I go there every time I visit Michigan, and I don't recall paper straws with their shakes...however I prefer spoonin it. It's just better that way. 

Just because everyone is wondering, yes, I get strawberry.

Back in the day, before plastic became a thing.  I am sure I ask for a second straw many times.

Always liked how they gave you the metal mixing cup with the shake that wouldn't fit into the glass.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Metal straws are good too.

I passed through Nebraska last week and made a point to stop by Runza.  Love that place.

Runza is fast food restaurant based in and only in Nebraska that started by serving a sandwich that is like a cross between an empanada and a sloppy Joe.  I believe the sandwich itself is called a runza.  Anyways, they also make burgers and other stuff and their burgers are really good.
