Shannon that is just AWFUL! Now I will NEVER go to Perkins (haven't been to one in years).

On the subject of salad vs fries the answer is YUP, fries are a LOT cheaper for them to produce and asking .99 cents for a side salad is not a lot but they should meet the customers half way if they want to be cheap about it and say that for an extra .50 cents you can have a side salad. If they really had their merchandising hats on, they would offer low carb desserts and let you have the salad in place of the fries so you may be hungry and oder a low carb dessert.

I generally have no problem at the local Denny's and their hamburgers are DELICIOUS without the bun - my husband has started to order them that way now
