Arby's is so expensive, that ordering a meal there costs as much as a dinner at a steak house just a few years ago. It takes the meat from 2-3 Arby's sandwiches for the sandwich to be filled as it should be, not the bun sandwich it is these days.

I remember when they had a 5 roast beef sandwiches for $5 deal... but they charged an arm and leg for fries and drinks.
lol.
I haven;t ate there in a LONG LONG time.

Im not sure how they stay in business. Everytime I drive past an Arbys, the parking lot is empty. If they did advertise on Rush, they might actually drum up some customers.
The two Arby's near Busch Gardens/Adventure Island (one on Busch Blvd the other on Fowler) is always empty. Of course, it could be that the DEMOCRAT who owns Arby's would use it to take a TAX loss, that us little people can't take!!

Amazing how many companies are so piss-poor at math.
Rush Limbaugh audience, 18 million.
Company receives maybe 1000 complaints (mostly liberal, seminar respondents) about advertising on Rush Limbaugh show.
GASP! Knee-Jerk so hard that the CEO wets his pants and cancels advertising on Rush Limbaugh midst great fanfare from the media.
WHEW! Made 1000 questionable customers happy and pissed off 18 million customers who support Rush Limbaugh and his sponsors.
Coke also has executives with piss poor math skills.
They abandoned organization that supports "stand your ground" laws after complaints from gun-grabbers and have now pissed off millions of gun owners.
How many gun-grabbers drink Coke compared to how many gun owners drink rum and Coke?

In the long run, they are losing customers.
True story:
In the early 60’s, my family took a vacation drive thru Florida - BDW (Before Disney World). We stopped at a Hardee’s for Lunch. Within an hour, we were all ill & in serious need of a toilet. Back then, few places had a public restroom.
In almost 50 years, I have NEVER set foot in a Hardee’s.
Since then, I have added a few more to my Hardee’s List. Arby’s just made the list.
If they want to take a corporate political position beyond their own industry, then I am free to take a political position against them. Simple as that.

All fast food joints these days are way more expensive than they used to be. Anybody notice that? Inflation. It costs fuel to deliver stuff to fast food restaurants. Gas/Diesel is double what it was when Obama took over.

iirc; there are no provisions / "outs" in the OBozoCARE.
OBozo "promised" he'd exempt them, later it was
revealed there were no "outs" written into the bill.
He suckered them..once it was passed, all bets were off.

is somebody keeping a list? I am ready to express my opinions via my wallet. From Wiki: Hala Moddelmog (born January 3, 1956, in Georgia, U.S.A.) is President of Arbys Restaurant Group, Inc., effective May 20, 2010, reporting to Wendys/Arbys Group President and Chief Executive Officer Roland Smith.
From Malkins comments section:
Arbys is 82% owned by Roark Capital Group. Perhaps let them know you are also going to boycott their other holdings?

Wendy’s gave me food poisoning last November. As much as I like their food, I have not eaten there since.

How about food dropped on the floor and put back on the preparation counter? That good enough for you? This was not just kids working behind the counter but manager telling the cook staff to do it....no waste the manager said.
Mold growing in the carbonation lines leading to the drink machine....disgusting
