#28: Arby’s Best Customer
This unique restaurant feature is poignant and kind of heartbreaking. Someone was eating at their local Arby’s fast food restaurant when they noticed a strange plague mounted next to their booth. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was a memorial plaque for a loyal customer who had passed away.
John D. Posedel was Arby’s most dedicated customer. He came in almost every day to eat and chat with the employees. When he passed away in 2016, everyone at Arby’s noticed. Most of us consider fast food restaurants to be impersonal places, but this specific Arby’s was a special place where John made personal connections with people and became a local neighborhood staple. As the plaque reads, “We miss you, buddy!”
