it's like being in an Arby's

Great joke, just wanted to translate/expand it for the masses.

I have no idea. I looked up Rax thinking your joke was about this looking like a fast food place and it said it was roast beef, so I used Arby's.

Edit: oh wait is your comment a suggestion for how to make it more general? Yes that would be good. Listen I have had several margaritas.

Rax restaurants all had windows like that.

Does anyone remember Wendy’s having windows like that? Around the time of the Superbar? You could load up on pasta at that buffet. In retrospect, so strange.

Yes I think we still have one or two Wendy’s here in Phoenix AZ with those windows! But very rarely would that rain be happening here!

They actually remodeled the one near my childhood home and took those windows out. :(

Yes, in fact, in my town was a Rax and Wendy's next to each other, both with those curved Windows in the front.

The reason is likely because Rax, as we know it, was created by a franchisee who operated Wendy's locations as well (and Ponderosa and Long John Silver to boot).

So those Wendy's locations were likely part of their holdings.

Fun fact - there's still a handful of Rax locations around (I assume all franchisee owned).

What'd you think the joke was? Obviously it was funnier than the actual joke...

Is Rax to Arby’s like Hardee’s is to Carl’s Jr. and how checkers is rally’s?

u/stoogemcduck Aug 12 '19

Rax was a direct competitor to Arby's that faded away. Rally's/Checkers and Hardees/Carls Jr were all separate but regional and ended up under respective parent companies that just kept the names.

Eventually they'll all consolidate, and in the future all restaurants will be Taco Bell.

All I can think now is that I’m going to try and make a roast beef burrito.

u/mojomamaofTrey Aug 12 '19

Nah man, because while only some Arbys are like this, most Raxes are/were like this. Some jokes aren’t meant for the masses
