1. What was your complaint if you want to share?

I guess I'm not seeing it. 15 minutes isn't long to wait, and sadly 25 bucks doesn't buy much these days.

At least the guy responded, and it was a nice letter compared to the standard responses one usually gets. That's unusual. Hopefully Tess had fun and was unaware of any problem...that's all that counts in the end.

Again, I don't know your complaint, but maybe give them another chance?

Food to make my daughter happy, I just made chili since. What chance should I give to a drive thru at 25 for two simple cheeseburgers?

I thought you went in to a sit down type place.

I'm not much of a fast food person, but judging by the lines I see around here at some of the fast food joints...I'm not sure that's really unusual anymore.

People got out of the habit of going inside during the pandemic, I guess.

2. He sounds like a nice guy. Was the food ok? Fried mushrooms sound good.

Did LilBit do ok, is it the waiting time that was the problem? That's understandable.

and these days it's pretty hard to buy lunch for two people for under $25. Was there some other problem with their service? The owner's response seemed pretty reasonable and courteous to me.

17. I didn't realize it was a drive-through; you didn't say.

15 minutes is rather a long wait at a drive-through, but the owner did offer an explanation and maybe it's worth another visit.

apple and pecan salad, which usually includes chicken strips, as I recall.
Yes, restaurant/fast food is up in cost, and sometimes you have to wait even in a drive-through.

9. Sorry to offend you, Koz. I was responding more to the other comments re pricing, etc.

It's all right to call me a name, if you wish.
I won't be angry.
This group is supposed to offer you support and guess we have failed you in this instance.
Hope tomorrow is a better day for you and Tess.

14. I didn't know it was a drive-thru either, and I rarely go to drive-thrus.

Like you however, I have waited quite some time at Culvers when I've gone there. They're not as cheap as they used to be either. THat's the only fast food I ever allow myself!

You should see the lines at the Chick fil A (sp?) that I pass sometimes. At lunch they have lines around the building and out onto the road. I understand they're very fast, but Ima guess people are waiting at LEAST that long!
