El Pollo Loco Sucks

I was going to write about something meaningful today, but this is more important. Tonight I went to El Pollo Loco to pick up dinner to eat at home. When I got home, I found out they didn’t include any tortillas, salad dressing, or a fork.

Of course I’m too lazy (and it would be a waste of $3-a-gallon-gas) to drive back and complain, I sent a note to them via their website and they sent me back a note saying they are “currently investigating the situation.” So I’ll be sure to report back on the results of their labor.

Anyway, moral of the story: Don’t trust El Pollo Loco. Ever. It’s too bad, their chicken is pretty good.

    Dude, some employee who slaves away there at his/her minimum wage job to feed his/her family is probably going to lose their job because your fat ass didn’t get a freakin’ tortilla. Nice work.

    Doesn’t anyone take pride in their work anyone? It may be minimum wage but Jung still deserves his tortilla. Just because its minimum wage doesn’t mean they should be half assed.

    as someone who’s been in LA “forever”, their chicken used to suck too, but you’re right, now their chicken is good. too bad you got worked by the tortillas. Customer service has become an archaic notion.

    They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru, okay? They FUCK YOU at the drive-thru! They know you’re gonna be miles away before you find out you got fucked! They know you’re not gonna turn around and go back, they don’t care. So who gets fucked? Ol’ Michael Jung! Okay, sure! I don’t give a fuck! I’m not eating this without tortillas, okay?

    Take inventory at the drive thru. I MEAN IT. Spread it all out on the hood and go down the list. If you have a passenger, tell him to make his ass useful and get out for the double-count. Who cares about the fools honking behind you, let them go crying to their mommies when they discover that they got bilked outta their salsa or that a chicken fajita is missing. Don’t just GO to Pollo Loco, OWN POLLO LOCO.

    The automated page-header you set up generates “EL POLLO LOCO SUCKS ON RIGHT ON BRO” Is that twisted or what?
