• Carla Ruiz worked closing shifts while finishing nursing school and became famous for maintaining the cleanest fry station in the Pacific Northwest district.

    Today, Carla is a pediatric nurse and still claims she can identify Curly Fries by smell alone.

    When alumni asked whether she misses working at Arby’s, she answered:

    “Only during lunch. And strangely, whenever I hear the slicer sound effect in movies.”

    Carla recently visited headquarters and sampled the Dessert Roast Beef Sandwich prototype. Her official review:

    “I was confused for several minutes, but not unhappy.”

    The kitchen staff considered this extremely encouraging feedback.

  • Greg Patterson earned his nickname after reheating an entire tray of turnovers in record time during a catastrophic staffing shortage in 2004. Witnesses described the event as “equal parts heroism and thermodynamics.”

    Greg now works in corporate IT and still introduces himself at conferences as “Greg from Arby’s originally.”

    Former coworkers say he continues to cut sandwiches diagonally “for presentation,” even at home.

    After hearing about the Roast Beef Mac & Cheese Bowl test, Greg reportedly nodded slowly and said:

    “That’s the kind of decision you make after a successful quarter.”

    He currently owns three smokers and takes brisket extremely seriously.
