This was on Sat 9, 2001 around 8
We had orderd the original salad, the taco salad . and a med. combo for the chicken tenders.
I thought to myself i cant share the straw with my sister and mom!
So i ask the cashier (who served us luis) for a small cup.
I pore soda onto the small cup for myself.
I go back the fountain, and right when my drink was full the machine sound as if they ran out.
" The workers said the machine is broken"
When we got our order (the cashier luis) points at the small cup tells me "your actually suppose to pay for those drinks" i told him i the the soda from our cup.
So now the people who wanted to get soda had to go ask the counter.
While we were eating im facing the fountain and the counter.
I see one of the workers from the back walking towards the fountain to get a drink "luis is waving his finger no no no!" the worker didnt see him!
And what do you know the fountain works!

I told my mom what i had just saw!
She go to the counter for soda ask whats wrong with the machine.
Luis says "oh its broken right now!"
My mom tells him " my daughter got soda from our cup"
The other worker ask my mom if she'd like to speak the the manager!

Manager comes out i tell him how i got my drink!
He tells me we'l turn it back on for you.
i ask him why is the machine off?
He said " we dont want customers especially the kids to get the impression you can get soda with the water cup"
I said "so your saying you turned off the machine cus you think i used the small cup to get soda!?"
The manager goes" no no" i said yes that's what your saying!
I told him "before you accuse me of stealing soda from your machine cheek your camera and anyways i paid for our soda and everyone else in the store also!"
This jerk tells me why do you have that cup its only for water?
I tell i have a cold sore so i didn't want to share!
Then he tells me "why didn't you just buy another cup its only a dollar?"
i yell at him" for what we paid for our drink! why dont you take the fountain machine off so you can just serve the people the soda!"
He says i dont know what to tell you "we'll turn the machine back on"
I walk a away "tell him your just being rude!" He says and your not?"
I tell him "of course !!"

On April 1st took my baby to Carls jr for breakfast between 9am-10am.I ordered #1 Value Meal which was Famous Cheese meal with medium fries and a medium drink. After couple of bites i saw a bacon in my sandwich right away i showed it to the General Manager (Chris Sharma) i told him its against my religion to eat bacon, he saw the sandwich and told me its red onion i asked him to check properly its bacon, he turned back and asked the cook to make me another one, I told him dat i would like to get my money back instead, he gave me $2.61 back for the sandwich.After few minutes he came in the lobby & started cleaning the tables and he found the left over fries and he brought it and put it on my tray and asked me to eat free fries. When i walked in the store i saw a customer (black female) eating from that fries and she left without finishing her food. He also said that my son (2 1/2 yr ) looks like a dog, when i told him that i will complain than he said oh he looks cute.I left da fries onthe side of the table accidently it fell on the floor when i got up to leave he asked his employees to clean the floor and he even said to them that Iam keeping my house dirty like that.That General Manager should NOT act like that towards his customers.

I no longer purchase food from Carl's Jr. The food is constantly bad. It is cold, and/ or dry, and the fries always taste, and look, like they were fried in month old oil.

I visited the Carl's Jr. in Arroyo Grande this morning and ordered a bacon and egg birrito and I must say it was gross! the tort was hard and there was like a half piece of bacon and it looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. I could've spent my $3 bucks and had something I could actually eat.

Very disappointed :(

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND CARLS JR, OR THIER CHICKEN STRIPS TO ANYONE! I WAS SO DISGUSTED WITH THE FAKE CHICKEN AND HORRIBLE TASTE I SPIT OUT MY FIRST BITE AND THREW AWAY THE REST OF MY MEAL. THE FRIES WERE ALSO EXTREMELY GREASY, AND MY SPRITE WAS FLAT. IT WAS A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE AND I DO NOT PLAN ON EATING THERE EVER AGAIN. IF CARLS JR CAN'T GET SOMETHING LIKE CHICKEN STRIPS RIGHT, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT OTHER FAKE, PROCESSED INGREDIENTS GO INTO THE OTHER FOOD THEY OFFER!
