I used to love that place, too - that's why I went through the trouble of complaining officially. I don't typically do that with other joints, but CB still has a special place in my heart.<br /><br />Bane - Maybe that's my problem. I always order fried okra - which is no good cold. Maybe I should be ordering the milkshakes instead.<br /><br />Susan - You've hit my plan exactly! Use the card, then never return. Even if we have a good time.

I didn't change any settings yet. *shrugs, then grins*)<br /><br />Roni - I rarely turn down free biscuits either. But I'm also concerned that the gold card promises not good service but, "Let's spit in the whiner's food!" LOL indeed. ;-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-61350024565151383302009-09-29T19:14:01.971-07:002009-09-29T19:14:01.971-07:00I've only turned down free food once--I ordere...I've only turned down free food once--I ordered a pizza and it arrived garnished with small pieces of blue Arborite, freshly chopped from the counter top?! So I couldn't actually bring myself to eat the offered free one of those...<br /><br />In your case though--I would present the coupon with an explanation of how you came to be in possession of it--lukewarm, slow service--go for it :)<br /><br />The cowpoke's POV-He says he'd give the coupon to a homeless person. I know, ahhh. I thought he was being all philanthropic, I'll spare you the dirty details, but I think he was just being a little vengeful.

Not even worth hitting their site to complain. As such, I wouldn't endure more.<br /><br />BUT Two - jb is right. The gold card will probably give you some excellent service. And it is free food.<br /><br />And BTW, your spell check works for me.

I'm inclined to agree with you - it's usually a good idea to take advantage of any FREE stuff that comes along (especially in this economy).. although, as someone who's been to her share of "free" movie screenings that were a royal waste of time, I'm sometimes wary. Even with a free gold card, the time wasted might end up being more valuable. Still, I'm willing to take a chance - now, I just have to convince the hubby.<br /><br />I'll let you know how it goes! ;-)Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-60468222975842714132009-09-29T17:37:29.987-07:002009-09-29T17:37:29.987-07:00I'm hard pressed to turn down free food.
