They are not suppose to. It's just a pain in the ass to program it. You can read the rules here.

Man they changed their syrup too.
The strawberry sauce no longer has actual pieces of strawberry in anymore, it's more like that cheap shitty artificial red bottled sundae sauce you can buy in the grocery store now.
They also no longer give you peanuts because of these stupid faggy kids with peanut allergies.
The enshitification continues.

Mcd got rid of their strawberry sauce years ago. I don't think they've brought it back.

actually, they brought it back with this year's summer deals on the sundae. it was ok, but as mike said, no pieces of strawberries anymore and no peanuts offered. thanks to those weaklings!
costco is still better value for a one off sundae...

I really like 5 guys but it’s honestly the price of going to the gull and getting a burger and a pint of superflux.
Only difference is that I’d have to tip on that.

Yah 5 guys is my dirty little secret to my body... but man the one thing is that you gotta luck out and get a day where the fries are soggy trash... do not recommend taking home or delivery either as that sogs the shit out of them.
I've had it liek 3 times since moving to Calgary and luckily here it's been chef's kiss every time... but Ironwood one was inconsistent in Richmond when I went there.

5 Guys is top tier for fast food burgers, bar none.
In-N-Out and all those other fuckers don't come close.
The Gull in North Van is fantastic if you're looking for a restaurant burger though.

Wow. Support your local restaurant, bro. Not some American fast food chain. We are supposed to be boycotting them.

Usually people capitalize nouns for places such as restaurants.
I hope this helps, bro.
Please continue supporting local businesses.

Five guys are franchises, the ones here are Canadian owned and they source all their main ingredients (beef and potatoes) from Canadian farms.

Anyone else tried Burger Crush? They're pretty good for fast food type smash-burgers, but at almost $18 a pop for a double cheeseburger it's getting pretty ridiculous.
I've got 9/10 stamps on my loyalty card though, so I'm just waiting for my free goddamn burger to make it all worthwhile

The Wally's at the East 49th and Elliot store closed down this summer, so the only remaining store in is N.Van (Dollarton area, I think?).
I miss the days when it was the old school joint on Kingsway...

5 Guys isn't too bad pricewise. Double burger, and a small fries (you don't need any larger) comes to around $17-$19.
That's not brutal when you get a really good quality burger and fuckton of fries, at least when comparing to the other fast food joints.

In local politics another former ally of Ken Sim is running against him now...
Quote:
Rebecca Bligh to take on Ken Sim for mayor of Vancouver in 2026
Rebecca Bligh is running for mayor of Vancouver.
The independent city councillor, who once served with the NPA and ABC Vancouver, announced her candidacy Monday at the Helena Gutteridge Plaza at city hall, launching a campaign with more than a year to go before the October 2026 election.
Bligh will make her run with a new party called Vote Vancouver, which will include candidates for council, school board and park board. The party will hold a nomination contest at a later date.
“I'm here today because too many voices in Vancouver are being silenced — families, renters, homeowners, small businesses, people who love the city but feel city hall no longer hears them,” Bligh said.
“Instead, they see drama. They see spin and political games, and what we need is leadership that listens and delivers. And that's why our campaign is built on three things Vancouver needs most: service, vision and trust.”
Her entry into the mayoral race is not a big surprise considering she has been hinting at a run to media, including to BIV in June.
What is a surprise is how quickly she, Mayor Ken Sim and Kareem Allam have gone their separate ways, considering all three were integral to ABC Vancouver’s landslide victory in 2022.
Sim has told BIV he will seek re-election and Allam has announced his candidacy with the Vancouver Liberals. Sim and Allam, who served as Sim’s chief of staff and ran ABC’s election campaign, are currently embroiled in a legal fight.
Bligh was expelled from ABC Vancouver in February.

^ overall, is she a good candidate, would she make a good mayor? Don't know much about her record and her particular views.
