Went by A& W today. Not a single car in the joint. At lunch time and on a weekend- that doesn't seem good. But hey, the dancing bear was there waving at all the traffic as they drove by.

So flashy signs and dancing bears aside, this place is really hurting.

Why are they hurting? Cause the FOOD SUCKS!

If it was me running this place, and doing as well as they are doing..I'd make darn sure the food was MORE THAN ADEQUATE.

I'd monitor the fries, make sure they are fresh and HOT. I'd make the portions heaping and fresh. At least until they developed a broad customer base.

I ordered a chilicheese dog and large fries and boy was I disappointed. The fries were cold and the package was only half full. The chilicheese dog had hardly any chili at all, and the dog was cold. (no offense lurker)

Scrap the bear, the racecar and all the other gimmicks and give us GOOD FOOD!! If you don't, the public will vote with their wallets and you'll be on your way out.
