While I wholeheartedly agree with this, there are some exceptions. When I went to the one that used to be in Allston and asked for a Super beef with just sauce he asked "what kind of sauce". It ended up coming with au jus on the side. That place deserved to close.

It depends if they're going to train their employees to make Kelly's food or just let any old dipshits use the Kelly's name. Seems like some do and some dont.

Guy actually twisted the original thread's wording to say they "dEmAnDeD" only POC reply to their thread and called it a form of segregation. I...have no words.

Like no, what, if a woman were to post "Hey I'm expecting and thinking of becoming a SaHM. What's it like being one in Mass? Share your experience", is Linux gonna be like: "Locked. Removed. We don't promote sexism here, women deserve to work 😡. It's the same thing as [insert bizarre and unrelated example]".

Idk I'm spitballing here but I read the original thread through Reveddit and it was a TOTALLY innocuous question. The real racism here was not allowing POC to discuss the issues important to them which was the safety of the area they're moving to. Like maybe that was the guys goal?? Restrict the discussion of serious topics by concerned groups by feigning "progressiveness" aka "We don't promote racism here. You can't post about race!1!!1"

It's not super new, no. I thought of it as a 10-ish year old term, but turns out it dates back to the 90s: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/folx#word-history

I personally think it's silly since "folks" is totally non-constraining, but it's also a fine and clear term so I don't see a need to get upset if people want to use it. It's not something heinous like referencing standing ON line or other nonsense.

Can’t speak to their burgers or fries, but objectively, their super beef isn’t a super beef. Over toasted sesame bun? Nope. Onion roll or bust for a super beef. I also find Kelly’s beef to be over cooked more often than not.

Tessie’s in Tewksbury, Royal Roast Beef in Methuen, Jillie’s in Lowell, Simard’s in Wilmington, and Geo’s in Amesbury, just to name a few that have superior super beefs to Kelly’s.

When I moved nearby I tried out the one in Medford, my first experience with the chain. I spent like $40 on getting a bunch of items and didn't eat more than two bites out of any of them before throwing it all away, walking out, and never stepping foot in them again. At that point I had not heard anyone else's negative opinion of the place to bias me in that direction
