Melt Your Car for Free
As some of you know, I took my wife to McDonald’s for our anniversary dinner last year. I know, I know, I’m so romantic. As great as our anniversary was, I think Valentine’s Day was even better. I treated my wife to dinner at Chili’s…actually we had takeout from Chili’s. Again, how romantic. Everyone was sick and takeout was the best I could do.
Wait, there’s more. My wife ordered dinner and I went to pick it up at Chili’s. I waited five minutes for someone to help me because no one was at the to-go counter. Then I had to wait another 15-20 minutes because they messed up our order. When I got home, my wife discovered they forgot the kids’ corn and my veggie burger was burnt. Mmmmmm. Yummy. I love burnt food.
Needless to say, we don’t plan on eating at Chili’s anymore. But as bad as dinner was, at least our car was not crushed and melted.

*snorts* Sorry about your food, I think they take advantage of you being “to-go” sometimes that you won’t come back and complain. Hilarious sign tho!
It’s real hard to check. I looked in the bag, but didn’t open the containers. I guess I should have.
You know it’s just a matter of time until somebody calls their bluff and leaves a beater in that spot for two weeks.
You know, I was there for 30 minutes. Maybe they gave me a break because they screwed up my order. Why don’t you park your car there for a couple of weeks and let me know what happens.
The family and I love Chili’s; we eat there quite often, but we’ve never gotten their food “To Go.” Perhaps now we won’t ever.
You’re such a romantic. Wonder where next year’s anniversary will find you, Jack in the Box?
I’m thinking Chuck E Cheese. We were there last weekend for a birthday party.
First time I see such a funny sign. You sure you did not photo edit anything, huh huh huh?
I guess you’ll have to stop by a Chili’s next time you see one.
There’s just a bit of finality to that sign. I mean, isn’t crushing the car enough? do you think a car could be salvaged from crushing it? Well, just in case, let’s melt the sucker. Now try to salvage it. LOL
That’s pretty funny. hehe
They have to melt it so the wind can blow away the ash. Otherwise, there would be a crushed car in the parking space and no one will be able to park there.
It’s so disappointing when those things don’t turn out and you’re sad you wasted your time and money. We had a similar experience at AppleBees and haven’t been able to bring ourselves to ever eat there again. But at least your car wasn’t crushed or melted - - that’s great. ;)
Hugs,

I think their dine-in meals are better. Chili’s use to be one of the places I went for lunch when I worked in a real office. But once they gave me a hamburger instead of a veggie burger. 15 minutes later, they messed up again and brought out another hamburger. Lunch was free that day, but that didn’t really help me because my friend was going to pay.
If they had messed up your order and melted your car, I hope they would have given you a free dessert or appetizer! LOL
Keep smilin!
If they melted my car, I expect them to replace it with a new Porsche.
Ha! You are such a romantic!
We love Chili’s. My favorite is ordering the tortilla chips and ranch dressing and dipping them. I can eat ranch on anything.
The funniest sign I ever saw said something like
“All children must be accompanied by a parent or will be sold as slave labor” or something.
That’s a funny sign too. If only you had a camera with you…
That sign is awesome.
First time I’ve seen a sign like that in person.
Too bad Chilli’s humor couldn’t make up for their terrible food.
Something about those commercial restaurant chains that continuously produce low to terrible grade food. I don’t know anyone who says, “Applebee’s is my favorite! I really love the way I ask for a medium steak and get one burnt-done! Oooohhh! It’s my favorite when I order the Brownie a la mode dessert and my ice cream has melted everywhere and my brownie’s soggy!”
Not that it’s happened to me or anything…
Good luck with next year’s anniversary. I’m rooting for you.
McD and bad takeout will be hard to top, but I’ll give it a shot.
That sign is hilarious! I can empathize with you and your wife. Almost everyone in the family was sick on Valentine’s Day, so we had burgers and cold medicine.
We were sick for two weeks. Missed the start of Chinese New Years and barely made it to dim sum before the two-week celebration was over.
Thanks for coming over…Are you going to tell your wife you love her butt or yours? He,he,he…
My wife already knows I love her butt;->
How many years married? You took your wife to McDonald’s? I celebrate 18 years this April and hubby knows better not to take me to McDonald’s.
Almost 8 years. I actually took my wife to Olive Garden for our 7th anniversary, but we left because we got tired of waiting. Then we stopped by McD on the way home because we were really hungry.
This is why we seldom go out and get food… unless it’s sushi or pizza. You can’t really mess that up too badly.
We seldom go out too. When we do, I prefer buffet or dimsum so everyone can eat right away before the kids start to act up.
Daddy Forever, I’m glad to hear that there are still romantic guys out there! :) JK, At least you took her somewhere because she was starving.
I tagged you for a music meme!
A muic meme…I guess I will be bringing the oldies back.
I’ll take Chili’s over the Applebee’s, Red Robins and Fridays of the world anyday.
They will melt your car. I’ve seen it.
I like eating at Chili’s too, but their to-go service needs some work.
