This is an email sent to Maldevane regarding his ongoing correspondences with Arby's.
For the record, I agree with his comments on the Oven Mitt 100%.
Mal,
You actually eat the beef and cheddar?
That is INSANE. Which brings me to another point about inane things that Arby's does. For some time you could often get either 4 roast beef sandwiches or 5 beef and cheddars for $5.95. We once tried to do order the 5 beef and cheddars but to hold the cheese as to our minds that would make 5 roast beef sandwiches for $5.95 instead of 4.We were told that this was in violation of their policy and that if we were to order a beef and cheddar, by god we were gonna get some cheesey beef without any regard to our desire for quesosation. Now I don't want this trip to devolve into some kind of fucked up 5 Easy Pieces moment on some poor kid so I just ordered the 4 and was on my way, but that begs the question. Why do they give you the extra sandwitch if it requires more work? What is in this cheese sauce that makes them want to give it away? What kind of evil genius gives you more for less? One that wants something I say, but what? My god man, what?

Oven Mitt is dead, and I like to think I helped kill it.
