Arby's is known for many things, one of the things being their delicious roast-beef sandwiches. Back in May 2017, Arby's was in the spotlight for something completely unexpected: a baby possum dining at their establishment alongside his owner. A Yelp user posted pictures of the baby possum, complaining that she couldn't eat at their establishment again after the staff didn't do anything to kick the possum out. Because of this, she rated Arby's extremely low at one star.  When Twitter account @mischiefanimals re-posted the images in 2023, people in the comment section rushed to defend the baby possum, who they claimed was doing nothing wrong. He was simply enjoying his meal like everyone else in the restaurant. People also brought up the fact that possums are known to be extremely clean animals, so there's no reason to panic about their presence in a restaurant. The more you know!

    Font - 95 01 02 12 5/26/17 So normally I don't complain but today well after lots of thoughts on the matter. I think it should be known. Multiple employees saw this guy sitting at his table with a baby possum. The possum was on the table eating off his tray and not one word was said to him about leaving the restaurant. Very bad for business I won't be going back to arbys on and right now I won't be going to any arbys have a bad taste in my mouth for this.
