Not-So-Karen-Questions
These questions are ones that a Karen wouldn't ask. Not at all. Absolutely not. Pinky promise.
Who is Guy Forks?
He is the alias of our founder, the first to don the mask. An irreverent rebel. A wry wit. A crafty connoisseur of the questionable.
For fans of history: Fall down the rabbit hole.
For fans of pop culture: Farther down you go.
What does Guy Forks look like?
Wouldn't you like to know?
Will Guy Forks take off his mask just for me?
Sorry, precious.
Will Guy Forks take off his mask if I make it worth his while?
Getting intrigued. But no.
Haven't I seen the stick figure character somewhere else before?
What a good life to have lived such a sheltered existence that you didn't instantly make the connection. The character in question is a parody created in collaboration with Parotee: Parodies to the Tee. It's an original work that is derivative of another work to offer commentary on it. It's a fair use exception allowed in the US. Life is good here in America.
Is Holly Fork single?
Afraid not. She's in a committed relationship with Sous Chef Spoon. Careful there, he may be a gentle lover who likes to spoon after a good fork, but he has a steely jealous streak. If you just want to be friends, you can stay abreast of Holly Fork by reading her blog: Dishing with Holly Fork.
Can I have a shirt made with Fork Face Server except with my name on the nametag, and then on the side have the Statue of Liberty with the bent fork and have a stack of pancakes on the fork, and have it printed on a shirt that's the color of the setting sun, maybe something like a burnt sienna?
Unfortunately not at this time - server speak. Translation = fork off!
Will your entire staff all stop what they're doing to sing happy birthday to me?
Fine:
Sizing & Product Information
What size shirt should I buy?
If you’re not quite sure which size is right for you, refer to our sizing page.
How do I best care for my shirt?
Your shirt isn't a pet - you don't need to feed it. Your shirt isn't a plant - you don't need to water it. All you need to do to care for it is wash it right:
1. Turn the shirt inside out.
2. Machine wash cold cycle.
3. Air dry preferrably, or dryer on gentle cycle.
Where are your shirts made?
Our shirts are designed by Americans who print in the US on shirts made from cotton grown in the US.
Are your shirts ethical?
We'd like to think so - they've never dined and dashed. Upstanding forkers, they're made from US cotton that's part of the US Cotton Trust Protocol - a sustainable cotton initiative that provides full supply chain transparency and science-based field-level, verified data. And they're dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes that are salt-free.
Ordering, Shipping & Returns
Do you sell gift cards?
We sure do. Unlike most restaurant forkers, we have the luxury of not needing to deal with physical gift cards. Digital only for us. You can purchase gift cards on our Gift Cards page.
Can I cancel my order?
Once the order is in, it's no different than an order hitting the kitchen printer. It's being made just for you.
What is the shipping policy?
Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email letting you know that our fulfillment team has received your order. Once your order is fulfilled, you will receive an email notification with your tracking information. Shipping fees are non-refundable in the case of returns.
Do you ship overseas?
We not only ship overseas, we'll ship to any planet you live on. Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout.
How long will my order take?
We get it, you're hungry for our threads, but we make every shirt to order, so a little patience is appreciated. Your tracking information will have an expected delivery time. Please understand that shipping times may be longer around the holidays.
Still hungry, eh? We don't offer free chips and salsa, but perhaps we can tide over your appetite with a free joke:
I arrived early for my reservation at the restaurant. The hostess said, "Do you mind waiting a bit?" "No," I answered. "Great," said the hostess, "take these drinks to Table 9."
How to a return my order?
Detailed information can be found on our returns page.
Locations & Ambitions
Where are you located?
We're located in the motherforking web, so we're nowhere and everywhere.
Will you open a store in my city?
Our day jobs are in restaurants, so we highly doubt we want to add another commute to our lives. But, sure, anything's possible, like the time a customer asked for a grilled cheese sandwich without bread.
What are your ambitions?
Bold question, we like that about you. We strive to design quality expressions of a, blah blah blah. Screw the corporate-speak. We want to give a voice to a massively overlooked group of hardworking forkers. Food service isn't glamorous work, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be proud and have a laugh or two doing it.
