Comments

As a random reader of this article, I found it insightful and well written, but I must admit I feel the section titled "What makes those dogs so good?" is significantly biased in favor of the establishment in question and should read more neutrally and less like an advertisement. Factual, objective descriptions are more suitable. Unregistered Editor 9:06, 27 August 2007 (GMT) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.134.196.233 (talk)

I agree, and if it is not cleaned up soon, I am going to remove the whole section. Gregoryg72 08:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I edited the page so it doesn't sound like an advertisement for Yocco's. Gregoryg72 08:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the ordering etiquette should be removed because it is simply not true. Your not going to get sent to the back of the line for being a new customer. Own personal experience backs this up. And the article cited makes no mention of beng delayed service.

Agreed. I've eaten at Yocco's hundreds of times over the last 20 years, have NEVER experienced anything like the below. Anyhow, here's the section, for "archiving purposes." Alphageekpa 11:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Like most eastern Pennsylvania restaurants that sell fast food, there is a clearly defined protocol for ordering at Yocco's. Customers who fail to adhere to the protocol are sometimes refused or delayed service. The first requirement is to issue your order quickly. The establishment sometimes requires customers to return to the back of the line if they pause in issuing their food order. In ordering cheesesteaks and hot dogs, the second is to issue the order in accordance with the establishment's long-standing ordering practices, which require the customer to order the desired item and then clearly indicate what standard toppings are or are not to be added. Additional items are added after the order is completed. Example: "I'll have a Yocco's dog, just sauce, and a large pierogie. Drinks are always ordered before being called by the prep-cook.[1]."

Regarding the editor who questioned the existence of Yocco's mail order business, and who edited the article to reflect that a 2007 telephone call indicating there was never any such business... I can attest that I have indeed ordered from them, and have received said hot dogs via mail order. In addition, it's mentioned in a local newspaper article about the company (see below).

~ Some of the information on this page was incorrect so i fixed it. Theodore opened the first and he was Lee's uncle. And another note, you can not order doggie pacs through the mail, you have to have someone buy it and ship it to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris6690 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Mail-order kits with 12 dogs, 12 buns and all the fixings — including the chili sauce, derived from a secret recipe —are shipped all over the world to homesick locals." ([2])

Fair use rationale for Image:Yoccos south sign.gif

Image:Yoccos south sign.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Liberty Grill

Did the writer who wrote "...Its original name was the Liberty Grill...." confusing Yocco's with the "Liberty Lunch" at 7th and Liberty, 1/2 block to the west? Growing up at 8th & Liberty and eating Yocco's hot dogs since I was a toddler, I've never heard that name. Bwmoll3 (talk) 14:28, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not worthy of an article

Why is this worthy of being included as a Wikipedia article? Sic stores? This might be local news, but hardly anything that anybody else would care about. 63.155.121.65 (talk) 03:21, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
