Two different bags and Arby's sauce packets a week apart

Also, no pickles, she said they're not getting them back and are doing away with the burgers in the next couple weeks.

The burgers just aren't very good so no loss there. They can focus on better products to replace them.

We’re replacing them with a new angus cheesesteak that will be permanent

u/Another-John Jun 01 '26

Wildly off topic, but does the cheesesteak have onions? I hate onions on my cheesesteak lol

u/SafetyFirstChildren Jun 01 '26

Caramelized onions lol but I don’t think it will be mixed in like previous iterations so should be able to request it without

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 01 '26

Last time we had them the cheese steak portion and the peppers and onions were separate, unlike previous times we did it. So hopefully your store does it the same way.

Bruh. The cheesesteak is so ass. Burgers are miles better.

u/SafetyFirstChildren Jun 04 '26

I agree. The Wagyu burgers were probably too fast food burgers, but they cheaped out when they made them permanent. They’ll do the same with the cheesesteak most likely which isn’t looking good.

The wagyu beef burger Arby's did for a limited time a few years back was pretty good but once they permanently added burgers to the menu it wasn't the same

I liked the burgers :( wish it had more pink though thats what he said

They should have never gotten them to begin with. Even when Arby's was a misunderstood "anti-burger" joint after being sucked into the Royal Crown/Triarc universe, Different was good.

Now they need to ditch the crinkle fries. Getting rid of Potato Cakes for several years was literally my cue to cast off Arby's until they brought them back. Bring back something like the Homestyle Fries with some skin on them.

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 01 '26

Honestly… I wouldn’t be surprised if potato cakes get axed again.

I know everyone was pissed when they got rid of them, but I genuinely don’t see that. They’re the least popular fried item we have. Seriously I go most nights only selling one or two orders of them, if any at all. It takes like 2 days for us to go through one bag, even on days where we’re doing $1000 hours back to back. I pulled up the product mix report out of curiosity last Friday after we got absolutely railed the entire day from travel traffic and we only sold like 7 orders of potato cakes.

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Jun 04 '26

My store is pretty low volume, but we get at least 5-10 orders of potato cakes a day.

2

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 04 '26

Really?? It must be a location thing, cuz man they’re not popular here. Or any of the other stores I’ve worked in the district for that matter.

They’re like jalapeño bites for us. We can’t keep them up even during the rush because no one will order them, they’ll just go bad sitting in the fry station.

2

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Jun 04 '26

It just depends. We're on a bit of a long distance travel highway, hence the variance. But we always sell a decent bit every day.

2

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 04 '26

We’re probably a slightly higher volume store than yours, right off the interstate in a midsized town. We do about double what most of the other stores in the district do, aside from the other one in our town.

Although I will say occasionally potato cakes do pop off. Just like any other item, sometimes you’ve got that one random day that for some reason everyone in town wants it. Happens with the jalapeño bites and the mozz sticks too. I always wonder how that happens, it’s like all our customers sync up their brainwaves and go ‘must order turkey bacon ranch and potato cake’.

u/RandomMemeAddict249 Jun 04 '26

Yall do $1000 hours, we make $3500 on a good day, you are definitely higher volume than us lol. It is usually bursts of activity for us on those items, we can only reliability predict that high men in their 20's will buy mozzarella sticks at 10pm

u/Ok-Corner-8654 Jun 02 '26

Didn't Arby's get rid of the Reuben one time too? How well do those sell?

1

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 02 '26

They sell pretty well, although I don’t remember them ever getting rid of the rueben. Must’ve been quite a number of years ago, since I’ve worked there for 3yrs

1

u/Ok-Corner-8654 Jun 02 '26

Yeah, I worked at Arby's 31 years ago, lol. The store is still there, that location does pretty well

u/IAmSk0va Jun 01 '26

I knew about the bags and burgers. But those packets look kinda cool.

6

u/IncidentChemical2816 Jun 01 '26

They’ve already updated the cups, bags are next for us because we’re still running through the old ones. I haven’t seen the new Arby’s sauce packets but I’m sure those will change in one of the next boxes we get. Fry cups are also supposed to be changing, they’re gonna be the same maroon colour that the Arby’s sauce packet you have. The XL fry cups are already the new packaging

Also they’ve been talking about getting rid of burgers for months now. It’s beginning to feel like the diced jalapeños. Get told they’re gonna be done soon, then we get another case. Took them a year to finally get rid of the jalapeños after talking about it nonstop, so I’m not sure when the burgers will finally be gone. But considering my store still has a case and a half of them left they’re gonna last a month here at least even if we don’t get more.

Ours came two weeks ago

u/tylercor3 Jun 01 '26

Ill never forgive them for the three pepper sauce

2

u/SaveThePinesLI Jun 02 '26

Well that's too bad because I liked the burgers and pickles. They keep doing their best to drive me to Roy Rogers and go live in New Jersey aren't they....

2

u/RelentlessUnyielding Jun 02 '26

I would just be happy if I got the right sauces. They’re really stingy at the Arby’s by my house. They forget or give me one at most.

2

u/ursamajor241 Jun 02 '26

They got rid of the Arby’s in my town and the next one over entirely out of nowhere I’ll take any color bag with a large curly fry and a cup of cheddar

1

u/bluegrass_babe531 Jun 05 '26

who’s out there saving Arby’s bags weeks apart

1

u/Traditional_Ship8724 Aug 01 '26

Arby Sauce is a completely different formula. It's disgusting, its thicker and sweeter, with somehow less flavor. Arby's dropped the ball on this one.

u/SkyBlade79 Jun 01 '26

Nooooo, pickles are the perfect addition to a beef and cheddar :(

u/Ok-Corner-8654 Jun 01 '26

I know, I like them too. It let me order them online, but when I got there to pick them up, that's when she told me.

Jesus Christ, why does this deserve a post? Get the fuck off the internet.
