The scheduler asked if I would take some more of these shops. When I told her I had one today and needed to see if I could handle the heat before accepting more her response was:

"If it doesn’t agree with you, you can order the regular Roast Beef meal for future shops."

Check with your scheduler as YMMV.

IIRC, the report does say something about if you have dietary restrictions, that's a valid reason for not ordering LTO.

But elsewhere it does state you MUST order the LTO.

Doesn't say you have to EAT the darn thing. So I'll be careful not to accept any that don't pay me enough to be able to toss out the food.



FREE SHAKE? Did someone say FREE SHAKE????

I love spicy! Any hint on the msc?

They are on a SASSIE platform. You might be able to find it if you used PRESTO and searched areas where Arby's exist (provided they are still on the shop board). You can check Indio, CA (92203 zip). That one usually sits on the board for awhile.

Thank you! I guess they are not being shopped yet in my area..

Either that or someone beat you to it. I think it was posted a week ago now. There are some in Southern California that do not get taken quickly because of where they are located.

I would want it in writing from my scheduler. I completed one of them, and I have looked everywhere in the Guidelines to see if there was any wiggle-room around ordering a Diable Dare. The only time it is permitted to order a regular roast beef per the guidelines is if they don't have the Diable Dare.

these get scooped up quick in my area because they are so easy and usually tasty... no desire for this round though. i have zero tolerance for spice.really happy about the consistant numbers of shops pushed out from arbys. i hope it continues beyond this year. their curly fries are almost worth the entire shop

Well I have to check in after finishing one of these shops today.

It was a dine in. I was served quickly.

I was brought up where my Mom didn't cook with peppers or onions because they gave my Dad indigestion. Thinking black pepper was a wake up call.

After graduating from college, I moved to Dallas, Texas (for 33 years) and developed an affection for spicy food.

I was able to finish the beef sandwich, but not without sipping on the "complementary" vanilla, dairy milkshake. For those not in the know, dairy is the thing that will quench the fire brought by hot peppers.

I would say, I didn't really enjoy the sandwich. I could taste the meat, but the sauce was the fiery culprit. When I opened the sandwich to take the required picture, I think if I had scraped off the sauce and peppers I would have enjoyed the sandwich. Perhaps it would have then been mildly spicy. Then it would have been a roast beef sandwich with cheese with residual spiciness without having to add additional horsey sauce.

I had to sip the shake and lick my lips because they were what was hitting the heat the most. There was a definite hot surge after taste after swallowing, but it was mostly my lips.

I was getting hot burps for at least an hour after and I take Omeprazole (Prilosec) daily. It allows me to enjoy spicy foods. I started the fries, but haven't really delved into them. I think I will tomorrow after re-warming them, but will try to avoid the sauce, which is where the heat seems to be.

I would not say they are habaneros. I just know I can handle most jalapenos, and this was hotter or on par with eating raw jalapenos with the seeds.

I don't know if you can do one of these shops before doing one of the actual shop, for a regular shop, I'd do it again, if they were to bonus the shop.

I do think this challenge will do really well in the southwestern US. There were guys that lived to make the most inedible hot salsa they could. And they were my friends.

Give me the gyros or the Rueben or the pseudo Philly cheese steak any day of the week instead!

I finally worked one highly bonused Diablo Dare into a route.

I ordered the chicken. When I opened the sandwich, all the spicy toppings were on a slice of cheese. I rolled the cheese up and discarded it. I was able to eat the sandwich, and I don't do spicy.

The fries, however, looked too much like...detritus at a crime scene. Didn't even attempt them.

And, to add insult to injury, the shake machine was broken, so no free shake!

They were substituting a free drink. I sweated bullets til I heard back from my scheduler.

I would never ever order this meal on my own dime. EVER. I guess it was OK, but over $10 really irked me. If I wasn't shopping, and could order plain fries, without all the garbage, maybe. But that's a weak maybe.

I did one the other day and gave it to my husband who loves spicy. He said the sandwich was excellent but the fries were overwhelmingly spicy. My stomach started to hurt just from the smell when I opened the lid to take the picture. Diablo Dare is $9 even here.

Seems like the Diablo Dares that I did with the chicken sandwich were right at $9.. i havent tried the beef sandwich yet. If there are any more and they get some bonus' I might.

I did a second one and liked it even less. I now put the sandwich into the category of hot for the sake of hot, not taste. I removed as much of the "hot" from both the beef and the fries. This was the first "inside dining" Arby's that I have seen since COVID began. It is even easier than the drive-thru, si if sufficiently bonused, I will do another and just assume that I will not eat much of the meal.

YIKES that is HOT Diablo sauce! I've done two...one chicken, one roast beef. Neither had all the ingredients in stock. The chicken was missing the Diablo sauce and it was a lovely sandwich! The roast beef was missing the red chipotle bun and YOWZA, it was hot. So were the fries.

And I LOVE spicy food. This is the first time that I haven't eaten all of a meal in ages.

I just signed up for 3 more.. I may regret this... lol
