I have never heard of Carls jr, but our small town has McDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Taco Bell, KFC, and Checkers, we had a beagle dog and would order our food and just a hamburger for him and would have a hard time to just get the meat patty, they could not comprehend someone ordering just the patty, ended up going to checkers when we had him, they understood. It is sad companies are like that but, thanks for the pickle laugh.
