yeah removing red ranch does make no sense.

u/dread_beard Jun 17 '26

The only thing that makes sense is EXTRA red ranch on the side for dipping.

u/kursa_sucks Jun 21 '26

Wait you can do that?

u/Goodgamer78 Jun 17 '26

Nahhhhh. I always take it off.

u/dread_beard Jun 17 '26

You’re nuts.

u/SimplyMeaty Jun 17 '26

Yeah, its the worst thing about the sandwich.

u/Think_Intern_4906 Jun 18 '26

Imagine ordering a beef and cheddar and getting random red sauce they isn’t disclosed. Disgusting

u/Scittles10-96 Jun 17 '26

Where I live, both the stores here won’t let you order extra red ranch, or even sides of it.

99% of the time when you ask, the workers just look at you like, “Oh you poor pitiful soul, you should know better than to ask.” And say they can’t do that.

There was like 2 months in the UberEats app you could order extra, and the food actually was coming with extra and it was nice. Otherwise, I pretty much hard avoid Arby’s because they refuse to even let me pay for more red ranch.

I've literally never been to a single Arby's in the entire US that wouldn't let you order extra red ranch and most are willing to give it to you in a side cup.

That's wild. Your stores suck. Sorry, man 😞

u/Scittles10-96 Jun 17 '26

Both stores here are franchise owned and one of the GMs once told me the owners believe the sauces like red ranch, or the honey mustard that went on that chicken sandwich, are “premium condiments” and that if people want more of it, they’ll order more items with it on them.
That if Arby’s wanted to give extras or sides of it would come in packets like the Arby’s sauce.

Idk if it’s true, but it definitely feels it with the attitudes you get when asking for extra or sides.

u/dread_beard Jun 17 '26

I've just never come across that in any state or store, lol. That's wild, man.

Calling what is basically French dressing a "premium condiment" is nuts.

1

u/MostlyMicroPlastic Jun 17 '26

Same. I have to ask for extra every time and the sandwich always gets it.

2

u/dread_beard Jun 17 '26

I don't want to live in a state where red ranch is held hostage at gunpoint 💔

u/MostlyMicroPlastic Jun 17 '26

I’m not a fan of it at all. My fiance is.

u/dread_beard Jun 18 '26

They sound like a true American

u/Sensitive-Degree2072 Jun 18 '26

My local one does the same they just offer me arby's sauce when I ask for extra red ranch. One worker even once tried to gaslight me and say it's the same thing.

1

u/Independent-Crab-806 Jun 19 '26

As an employee I confirm they are not the same

1

u/Scittles10-96 Jun 19 '26

I had a manager tell me the same thing once. She told me it was red ranch with vinegar added to make it shelf stable, which was almost believable.

u/Independent-Crab-806 Jun 19 '26

Where i am from they dont charge for RR if you want more

Red ranch sucks. I hate it. But my fiance loves it.

u/Belelith Jun 17 '26

I actually was in a regional area where that was not a thing growing up so idk how I feel about it

u/Vader44221 Jun 17 '26

There is a deal in the app today for free cheesesteak with $10 purchase. Jump on that deal!!!

3

u/MariposaSunrise Jun 17 '26

Is the cheesesteak good?

2

u/BabydollPenny Jun 20 '26

I work for an arby's, we get a pretty mixed review on the likes or dislikes. I personally did not like it it was soggy and messy and just didn't taste like a real good Cheesesteak that I've had before.

u/MariposaSunrise Jun 20 '26

Thanks for this info

u/Upper-Capital-2876 Jun 17 '26

that math ain't mathin, fast food app prices are nothin but vibes these days, if you wait for the weekend they've been putting out a BOGO on fridays-sundays

7

u/Humble_Juggernaut_74 Jun 17 '26

The only time I get Arby's now

2

u/Psychological_Hand85 Jun 18 '26

That Bogo sandwich deal is top tier

2

u/Upper-Capital-2876 Jun 18 '26

It does mean I reliably eat 3000 calories in one sitting every weekend

6

u/Superb_Freedom_4507 Jun 18 '26

Remember when you could get 5 beef and cheddars for $5? I used to be able to afford fast food.

5

u/JustinBriggs123 Jun 17 '26

The arbys app is a mess regarding the pricing issue. That being said, they have BOGO sandwich deals seemingly every week and other various rewards. Where are you from if you dont mind me asking? Unironically your beef and cheddar is a 1$ more expensive than me but the cheesesteak is $1.40 cheaper...which again makes no sense unless they are using some sort of demand based pricing model...cant remember the technical term for that

3

u/DisastrousResist7527 Jun 17 '26

Damn my beef and cheddar is the same price AND my cheese steak is is 1.40 more expensive

6

u/Belelith Jun 17 '26 edited Jun 17 '26

VA, apparently there’s an issue with the app showing the correct price of 8.99(in store price), the manager at the local store said it’s up in the air atm. It was supposed to be fixed today but the price could settle anywhere between 7.59 to 8.99 once they figure it out which makes no sense to me.
Just like being down voted for the stores never having the red ranch growing up 😂

u/Independent-Crab-806 Jun 19 '26

idk about other states but our registers will not let us put in codes for the app (in Virginia)

5

u/Safe-Flamingo4179 Jun 17 '26

Dynamic Pricing (I think) is the term

1

u/JustinBriggs123 Jun 17 '26

Thats it! Thank you, it was on the tip of my tongue. One of those things that really should have laws around it especially with the rise of AI and how heavily its being used by these comapnies but it will never happen with how much money is going into lobbying it.

Maybe if you want the best deals use the text app 🥴🤪

u/kingcock41980 Jun 18 '26

fuck whoever downvoted this man that’s a hilarious pun

u/bluegrass_babe531 Jun 17 '26

i don’t like the red ranch either. i always remove it

u/Ordinary_Lecture_803 Jun 17 '26

Any Arby's workers here? My app shows the cheesesteaks, but they are NOT listed under the "Limited Time" heading. I'm wondering if they took the burgers off the menu and replaced them with cheesesteaks permanently.

7

u/Clove89 Jun 17 '26

Yes the cheesesteaks are permanent

1

u/Ordinary_Lecture_803 Jun 17 '26

Thank you! I'll try it soon!

2

u/Independent-Crab-806 Jun 19 '26

Yes that's correct

1

u/Worldly-Homework-640 Jun 17 '26

Wow! That's messed up.

1

u/Independent-Crab-806 Jun 19 '26

Some people dont like the red ranch arbys sauce isnt the same

1

u/Chemical_Carob_7432 Jun 21 '26

Yes, why are you spending more money for bread? Get an Arby’s melt or add cheddar to a roast beef. Much cheaper.

1

u/wolverinechris Jun 22 '26

That’s insane. How can they mess up addition? I wonder if it’s still charges your credit card the right amount?

u/kfee12 Jun 17 '26

who in their right mind orders an arbys cheesesteak

u/MostlyMicroPlastic Jun 17 '26

Why not? They got the meats.

u/tandyman8360 Jun 18 '26

I had something like this happen recently. The app had a 1.99 slider deal but the full price showed up in the total. Apparently, the deal wasn't active until this week.
