Yeah, I know... I'm not beating down the door of our local ones, just in
case, either...  :)

I still get their spicy thigh and biscuit combo... just pass on the fake
honey... it was a bit of a disappointment to me, too...

Woulda got you more miles.... but, yeah... way too much trouble... ;)

Her loss... :)

As long as that is common there, and not highly uncommon... ;)
