Get home, grabbed something to drink and opened the bag. Took out the

ordered. Turkey, bacon, cheese. I was not about to go back so I did
eat it, it does reach new heights of mediocrity.

Should I ever go again, I'll just hand them $11 and say "give me a
sandwich" and see what I get. Could be fun!

You may as well do that at Arby's. The one and only time I got an Arby's
sandwich I asked for roast beef. I took it back to the office to have
for lunch and I made the mistake of looking at the meat. I had to ask
myself what the hell it really was. I had never before seen beef or any
other meat with that weird, bubbly sort of texture. It was beef coloured
and tasted like beef, but it looked more like something that had been
grown in a lab.
I was delighted to find an Arby's in California back in the late 70's.
Indeed, it was not really roast beef but something else. I took the
sandwich apart and checked it out. It was chunks of beef embedded in a
matrix of meat paste. It was quite an impressive achievement in food
technology. There was an Arby's in the mall down the street but it
closed down. Boy, that was a depressing place. I thought the food was
alright but you could tell that the staff hated working there. That sort
of spoils all the fun.
