| - I like that Five Guys french fries are simply potatoes fried in peanut oil, and that their website makes it clear that they're suitable for a vegan diet.
My vibrations change a little as I enter. Slurping on a soda and pulling food out of a brown bag, I feel no different than the average fast food user. It's a cruel world, and you have to eat, so I'm nothing but gracious that Five Guys gives me the opportunity. But I try not to do this often.
Wifi would be an improvement. I'm not sure if any Five Guys have it, so it's not a knock against this particular location.
When I ordered a drink they tried to up-sell me to a large, for 30 cents more. Nice try kid. You should be happy I didn't ask for a water cup and drink for free. There's no benefit to a larger cup when it's free refills and I'm eating there (and if I was taking it to go, I wouldn't carry a fountain soda with me).
I'm torn between 3 stars and 4. There's nothing remarkable about it relative to what I'd imagine other Five Guys locations are like, so I'm pretty comfortable calling it a 3.
Plus, they have weird neighbors:
When I was done eating, the grease and soda were having a party in my mouth, and I happened to have my toothbrush on me, so I brushed my teeth over to the side of the strip mall building. The MetroPCS security guard came out and was bothered that I had spit on the parking lot which could vaguely be considered in front of their store. (I mostly laughed, and it seems like a totally petty thing to worry about, but I didn't really have any problem respecting his wishes for their parking lot. One could also argue that it's a shared lot with Five Guys, so even a principled respect for whoever owns it would still mean a customer should feel free to brush their teeth there-- If I did it inside, I'd clog up the restroom for 3 minutes and someone may need it, so doing it outside seems like the conscientious move, once you get over the emotional hurdle of what you're "supposed" to do where.)
In a classic case of a dimwit falling head over heals for authority, some other guy piled on afterwards, "cmon man, you know you can't be doing that", which was especially silly since it's not even his parking lot and I had stopped at this point. "Why?" I lol'd. I guess the theory of when it's appropriate to spit in parking lots is very important to him, but he spinelessly slid away when I challenged him, so we'll never know.
Incidentally I had seen the security guard eating at Five Guys when I was in there. I even yielded to him when we approached the trash can at an intersecting path. I'd like to live in a world where killing sentient animals because you like the way they taste (and raping them so you can add cheese) would be more egregious than someone brushing their teeth outside.
Until then I'll use this to break the tie, to hold Five Guys a little bit responsible for the seedy area they're in, and settle on the 3-star rating.
