I think they still have a triple whopper, but it's not called a Gilbert Burger any more, and it may not even be displayed on their regular menu. I'd imagine not many people order it, since the double whopper is already pretty big. :)

Yeah, I've seen that at just about every fast food franchise lately. Even BW3's by me is always short staffed.

It was definitely a nice change from the normal shit they stuff two of in every town.
