I'm not sure what the discrepancy is. You say you went very sparingly the last few years. I would say that's probably as much or more than I've gone the past few years, and that this last time I went, it was way better than I remember.

5 years ago would go into the timeframe where it was our go-to, but we've long since changed to A&W.

I'm just not at all sure what discrepancy you're talking about. Do you mean my comments haven't been consistent?

I mean the discrepancy between your experience and those of other commenters who feel the need to downvote you for sharing your experience

Oh I see. I think people just downvote shit they don't personally agree with no matter how tame or on topic it is. 🤷‍♂️
