Looking for suggestions. I am very serious about my food. It is extremely hard to find a place in the metroplex that has good food and exceptionally warm service. Any price range: fast food to upscale fine dining. I was under impression that Pappadeaux is a restaurant on my list of a few places that I thought cannot fail, but when I went to the Pappadeaux location in Arlington of I-30, I sat there as long as I could humanly stand on a hungry stomach. I figured if I was going to eat, I needed to leave that place. It seemed to me that the only thing they were serving was apologies and excuses (they don’t taste very well, though).

Oh yeah, I had that same thing. I noticed when me and my kids were at the Burger King on Eastchase in Arlington, while I was there, they were having an issue with salmonella. Uhh, my kids were playing on that playground so many times. People just don’t care any more about food and places they eat in. Takisha of Arlington, TX.

How about refried French fries? Any one noticed that when you ask for fresh and hot fries in a fast food burger place, they just drop the same fries back in the oil and serve them. But cannot fool the public. The fries will be very greasy and taste horrible. The only good fast food restaurant I can suggest to comment #1 is McDonalds on interstate 20 in Forst Hill, from Fort Worth exit Forest Hill drive. They really do try their best. And you don’t ever have to repeat over and over about the coffee. If you ask for fresh coffee, you will DEFINITELY get a hot fresh cup of coffee. Elaine of Fort Worth, TX.

Y’all, I was over there in Dallas. I came into town to take care of some business from out there in McKinney. And I stop there in McDonalds for coffee and apple pies. Them darn pies were probably 3 days old, they can ruin that stuff like that. I am just saying, every time I go to Dallas and try to get a bite to eat and a hot cup of coffee, it just like pulling teeth. And I am telling you, they need to do something better. They supposed to have these health inspectors, how do they pass these places. They are just not doing anything. I called and complained, all I get is that they are doing ongoing investigation. I am just saying they are investigating while people are paying money for some crappy food (excuse my French). I’ve had some better cow manure that taste better than that stuff. Well, if people speak up more, maybe they will stop serving cold and stale stuff. Joe66 of McKinney, TX.

I am just looking for any kind of firsthand information about the area. I am getting transferred for my job and would like to know the best little city near Fort Worth to rent or buy. Any one, please? I got little kids and want something safe without bars on the windows.

Welcome to Dealing with TXU Energy Nightmare

SOLUTION: SWITCH ELECTRIC PROVIDERS

One would think that after thousands of rip off reports, consumer complaints, letters to Attorney General of Texas from Texas residents, TXU Energy utility company should go out of business, but I guess “stealing” millions of dollars from hard working men and women does not interest consumer rights bureaus and government officials. TXU Energy gets away with all sorts of illegal stuff.

Where should I start: putting bogus charges on a bill, double billing for a single month, switching account numbers without customer’s authorization, tripling the bill after it is consistent month to month, or how about the odds of billed exactly the same amount for usage for two months in a row without a penny difference, or maybe receiving a $100 bill for a month on vacation with the main breaker shut off entire 30 calendar days. Not to speak of the rude and dump behavior of the customer representatives whose calling stations are located in India, Philippines, etc. These are just a few things that I can sum up from my experience in the last few years. But the “final straw” is getting an electric bill for over $550 in 1400 square foot brick home, built 2003, with only 20% of the entire month spent at home (winter month, too).

TXU Energy is very much aware of how much time and money that we, hard working people, cannot afford to lose arguing back and forth. Majority of the people pay the outrageous electric bills they receive, those of us who try to call TXU Energy customer service to address the issue and errors -we get a run around, get hung up on, laughed at, lied to, you name it.

We ALL need to go about it a different way: sue TXU Energy is only one way and it simply sounds easier than it is done. Plus settling the matter most likely will come out of a backroom deals with one lawyer paid off by the other to “lose” your case.

Let’s switch to another electric provider. Let’s inform the community. Every time we go to a local store or gas station, tell everyone how “dirty” TXU Energy company is. If everyone switches, TXU cannot survive without your money.
