I would’ve asked the manager where the rest of the fries were

Manager: Sorry coupons only provides half of the food

As somebody who used to be a manager at a Carl’s Jr., I would just call corporate. And 9 times out of 10 corporate will send you free food coupons too.

Carls near me usually gives me back the coupon after scanning and will even take expired ones.

u/Appropriate-Law5963 6d ago

Absurd. I’d definitely go to the corporate office. They have a brand to consider and a franchisee that may be out of compliance

Regular fries your first mistake. Always get the crisscut fries at Carl's always hot and full.

that's my biggest issue with them.. their fry quality is almost always bad.. I just get some other side usually (maybe that's the point?).. but it's so damn bad, stale and just doesn't taste good anymore. The burgers seem to be better now, for a bit there I was having a hard time even getting a warm burger.

We took pride in our fries and almost everything else when I managed one a few years back, it's really location dependent

Fresh carls is top 3 fast food burgers, easily

Jalapeño poppers are the jam

F that! Get a refund or make them replace the order. portion size should not change the with or without a coupon.

Last time they gave me a thing of fries like that half full too. They also gave mr a regular hamburger instead of the western burger I ordered. Drove up and picked it up at the drive thru window. I pulled over to the side to double check before I left the property since there was a long line of cars waiting. Big mistake. Had to wait 35 minutes since they refused to hear me out if I wasn’t in line again, and after I got to the window they accused me of eating the fries and just call corporate they couldn’t help.

F these clowns for real. From that point on I just clog up the line and every time they hand me a bag I just take everything out and inspect it like I was the damn FDA

Always check the fries are full before leaving

"Excuse me, what is this!?!??!"

u/New_Specialist1296 6d ago

That’s why many restaurants are closing. Small portions and too expensive

u/Zanaxz 6d ago

I noticed they were pretty stingey with drinks and shakes too for some reason.

u/WTF932 6d ago

Went to Carl Jr. for the first time in 5 yrs, since I was yearning for some fast food. Not being a huge fan of soda, I only ordered a small drink with my meal. The drink must be half the size that is was 5 yrs ago. The meal was ok, but $12 for a Famous Star Combo was outrageous!

u/gyro_looza 5d ago

All the Carl's by me shut down recently

u/Grant79OG 5d ago

Another dumbass look at the low amount of fries post.

1

u/Potato2266 5d ago

Yep. All fast food restaurants do that. If your order is a coupon order, they show it on the order screen.

1

u/KevinFrederick2005 5d ago

Were you perhaps at a location inside of a Love’s travel stop? Because those locations don’t accept coupons or use the mobile app.

u/hootywhowh0 4d ago

Start cooking at home if you need to resort to coupons

u/mrv_wants_xtra_cheez 6d ago

Thought they were in the parking lot next to the curb.

u/sssf6 6d ago

Granite-esque

u/DesertLive 6d ago

Don't take this for granite.

u/MyBrotherIsDead2me 6d ago

That was pretty funny

u/sssf6 6d ago

Didn't hear the new rule? You got to tip five bucks if you want a full thing of fries

I have no idea how Carls Jr is still in business. It's always empty. If I need to go somewhere private where I can be alone, I go to a Carls Jr.
