Arby’s resorts to blocking conservatives on Twitter
Arby’s can support/advertise with anyone they wish,
but I think they dumped Rush Limbaugh on purpose to get some attention.
Be careful what you ask for, Arby’s.
Ha, I got blocked by @Arbys.

You may recall that yesterday, Arby’s announced via Twitter that it would no longer advertise on Rush Limbaugh’s show. Conservatives were not at all happy – and they got very vocal about it.
Well, as it turns out, Arby’s has begun blocking conservatives who have tweeted complaints.
The customer is always right, except at @Arbys. Tweet any criticism of them and you’ll get blocked. Typical gutless left-wing bitches.—

So, @Arbys, now you’re blocking people asking you why you caved to extortion tactics? Can you say “doubling down on failure?”—

Check out @Arbys … if you’re interested in watching a brand commit suicide by social media.—

Has a company Twitter account ever blocked its customers for complaining before? Is this … unprecedented?
In any event, Arby’s, we’re thinkin’ you really screwed up.

Arby’s has been blocking colons for years.

Where’s the beef? On Twitter
Full apology or no more patronizing of Arby’s.

Thank you for canceling your advertising on Rush Limbaugh! Also thank you for blocking complaints about it on Twitter!
I’m sure the other restaurants I will now frequent will appreciate the new business as I will no longer darken your doorstep to spend my money on your food!

Arby’s is appeasing their base. We all know that liberals are really big meat eaters…. no, wait.

This is not surprising as Arby’s is part of Pepsico (a major Obama contributor). I do not patronize anything owned by Pepsico.

My expectations are very low for a company with a logo that looks like a dick.

Living in Chicago, home of Mr. Beef, All’s Italian Beef, Portillos, Feebs, and many many more I have always found Arby’s uniquely unappetizing. They just dont do beef justice Have not entered or driven through one in years. Glad to hear they are part of PepsiCo so I can participate in the boycott.

Same here, Redgrandma. Chicago’s the easiest city in the world find a good beef sandwich. Arby’s is now banished from my alimentary canal for good.

DID RUSH RETRACT HIS APOLOGY TO THE SLUT?!?!?
I CANNOT listen to him, or take him SERIOUSLY, UNTIL he does.
Period. >:-(

There’s an Arby’s in town and the parking lot is always empty. We wonder how they stay in business, maybe because it’s across the street from the hospital and they get more walk ins than drive ins. I’ve never been in Arby’s and never will. I don’t patronize Sleep Train either. Poor orphaned children are going without shoes because of Sleep Train. They should be ashamed!

ARBY’s (R. B. = roast beef, get it?)
I quit Arby’s MANY YEARS ago when they switched from using roast beef to roast pink slime. Not much of an exaggeration, the chain began with pretty good, genuine beef round sliced extra thin, deli-style.
Then, for some reason, they switched, in a blatant and obvious fashion, to preformed beef-cuts-and-gelatin-mold which was shaped and shipped like Danish ham. That’s when they began to slide.
Then the word got out a few years ago that they were owned by hardcore liberals (like Progressive, Costco, Scott’s, et al.) and folks like me said, “MEH, I don’t eat there anyway.”
Now that HOOTERS serves Arby’s one remaining menu item that’s any good (curly fries), why bother?
As for Pepsico, I only drink diet root beer and I don’t care for theirs.

Well, if there was an Arby’s anywhere around here, I wouldn’t eat there!
So there!

I liked their beef and cheddars but did not know they were owned by Pepsico and leftist. Never understood how corporations could be owned and operataed by leftards b/c it is capitalism that helped to make them what they are. Guess I won’t be eating at Arby’s anymore.

They put out a lot of those buy one get one free coupons…what if conservatives scheduled a day just to buy stuff with those coupons and nothing else? Just as a parting shot before they never see our money again!
Guess they’ll have to go all veggie to lure in the libtards…

I too am from Chicago and I just can’t understand how a large company like Arby’s has NO idea how to improve the horrible product they sell.
Take a lesson from Al’s Beef in Chicago, Mr. Arby, there are W A Y better products then you offer and until you get your act together don’t be so quick to Rush to judgement at RUSH.

Arby’s is owned by Roark Capital Group. Check out wikipedia for the 25 other companies owned by them. Hey, maybe they need a letter or two.

We use to call them Arbys Roach Beast, I had a friend who worked there in the 80′s and said apparently the roachs were quite fond of the place.
I might try 1 once or twice a year, but won’t be anymore…..at least until I see the bankruptcy.
Maybe the management at Arbies should ask that mattress asshat how well his business faired when making the same idiotic liberal bandwagon business move.

“This is not surprising as Arby’s is part of Pepsico (a major Obama contributor). I do not patronize anything owned by Pepsico.” – Big Slurpy
Yo Bigs, +1 !!
I was a lifelong Pepsi drinker until those craven leftist fucktards at Pepsi changed their damn LOGO to look like the Obama Campaign “O”. Noe one drop of Pepsi since, NOT ONE DAMN DROP.
Hell, I live in the South – I was a traitor to my class for not drinking Coca-Cola.
I just remembered a Simpson’s episode where the kids got stranded on a desert island, ala “Lord of the Flies”. One of the creepy twin girls said, “I’m so hungry I could eat at …(whispers)Arby’s.” The surrounding kids make shuddering and retching sounds.
