Subj : Re: Not Horsing Around To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Feb 07 2022 16:33:00 George, GP> I'm not worrierd -- McDonalds had an ad campaighn with the song, "What GP> you want is what you get. . at McDonald's today!" That was long after Burger King came out with "Have It Your Way". GP> One tuimie a supervisor backing the cashier, was trying to denty me a GP> switch of inmgredients. I just askedm sing-song, "Whatever happened to GP> whay you want is what tyou get, at McDonald's today." so she overrode GP> herself & told the girl to put it through as a stop order (the kitchen GP> waits until she goes back & explains the order, then started perepping GP> it) It's like they think everyone can eat the same thing with no alterations. I remember one time as a cashier at Burger King, this guy wanted a Whopper Junior With Cheese with just ketchup only. I told him that I would sell him a cheeseburger with just ketchup only...as it was the same thing, only cheaper. No...he was adamant about what he wanted. If you want to pay more, here's your sign!! GP> A urologiust I had, my first one re kidney stones, said even if I GP> stopped eating EVERYTHING with oaxalates, my body would produce then & GP> make the same amount of stones anyway. Interesting. Although since I've quit drinking soda pop (I would have a Sprite on occasion, as it's caffeine free), I haven't had any kidney stones. GP> Basically, if you've ever had stones, you have a 16%, on averagem GP> chance, every year, of having them again (I'm running more like 95%, GP> over the past 30 years) That's the closest thing a man can get to the pain of childbirth. GP> I don't eat breakfat at McD's any more - they screw it up too much -- I GP> go to Tim Horton's (the Canadian Dunkins, kinda, but with sandwiches, GP> wraps, & others with the coffee & doughnuts); best fast food breskfast GP> ever! I used to get the 5-cheese bagel, toasted, with 2 eggs,no meat, GP> tomato, & leaf lettuce, & cheese, c/w coffee & doughnut(double GP> chocolate) I'll be back after I wipe off my keyboard. That must be exclusive to Canada, as that name doesn't ring a bell. GP> My wife is eating heralthy, & the only thing she eats from McDonalds is GP> their chicken snack wraps with half or no sauce, as the kiosk allows GP> (she prefers half) & their coffee, but she's dropped high test coffee GP> now & drinks half & half (half regular, half decaf) I never tried the McDonald's chicken...I preferred the ones from Burger King. Speaking of which, that reminds me of the joke where these guys were in New Orleans (the Crescent City), and they were arguing over the correct pronounciation (New Or-Lee-Anns, New Or-Lins, Nawlins, etc.). So, they decided to ask one of the employees in a local fast food restaurant to settle the dispute. They walked in, and asked for them to say, real slowly, where they were right then. The reply: "Burr-Gurr Kinggg". GP> I worked at A&W; I did all 4 jobs suimiltaneously, & manager, too, some GP> days bymyself,. but other days, I'd switch in & out front & back, as GP> needed, depending on who just didn't bother showing up (cheap teen GP> labour. . .jeeze! Used to be about 60% of the adult minwage) I loved their root beer and their floats. There used to be one in the Hot Springs area, but I don't think any are left in Arkansas. GP> More like you don't get what you pay for these days, especially with GP> online shopping! But, with all the stuff getting stolen from the trains in California and elsewhere, I've decided if I can't buy it locally, I do without. GP> Merchants have caught on that people assume higher price means better GP> quality, so they now sell their cheapest garbage at the highest prices GP> in each category! It's the economy, stupid. :P GP> I miss the one deparment store cafe we had: chicken strips, caesar GP> salad with unlimited chicken strips! I'd get the honey mustard sauce & GP> dig in & skip dinner later that day, especially if I hadn't already GP> skipped breakfast. . . Now, that unlimited chicken strips sounds good. Although, it reminds me of a joke where a guy went into a restaurant, and wanted a chicken strip. They brought a hen to the table, put on the stripper music, and the hen proceeded to remove its feathers. GP> $5 (lumnches typically were bumping over $10 then; now you're looking GP> at $14-18 for a decent lunch. but you can still find good deals in the GP> food court (I like Bourbon Street Grill -- I get a starch(rice or GP> noodles--I have them sub potatoe chunks), 2 veggies, & 2 mear options GP> (a solid pound of food! for $12, including a large coke, & extra GP> bourbon sauce on the side, in a coffee cup) Except at airport food courts...you better at least double the price there. GP> Another good one is a U-Grill clone -- you pick your items onto a GP> little plate they tare out, & they charge you by the 100g. I GP> typically go heavy on salmon, & various veggies, & a bit o' chicken for GP> variety; they include a half cup of red rice & 2 good shakes of stir GP> fry sauces -- I like the curry & hot pepper mixed. . . & a Coke to GP> wash it all down -- $12 or so there, too. . . Never heard of that one, either. GP> I mix it up from others, occasionally, keeping it near to $10 as I can. GP> . . Well, still being iced in from the sleet and freezing rain last week, I can't go anywhere for awhile. At least I have plenty of food and drink here...but the diet of 3 minute microwave pizzas (small in size) and lunch meat sandwiches, is getting old. GP> Yup; I enjoyed them -- I'd stop off on my way home from A&W for a GP> cheeseburger. I love their burgers, but the flame broiling gave my acid reflux fits. GP> Got so they'd se me come in, I'd know when to wave my hand as I'm GP> halfway through getting tot he till, & they'd drop my patties so I'd GP> have it fresh off the grill just as I got to the front of the line to GP> pay! That was awfully nice of them. When I went into a Great Clips haircut place last week, I got a beard and moustache trim, haircut, and shampoo for $23 (I had a $2 coupon), then gave them a $27 tip. I said because of the schedule and finances, it might be awhile before I could get out there again. The ladies said I was always so nice each time I was there. I enjoy going to places where the employees enjoy their work. GP> I ain't going anywhere NEAR the onions, nor the pickle! In several of the Looney Tunes cartoons, they have a deal where they request "hold the onions". GP> Grown up Wendy runs over, flips him onto his back & cries out, "Where's GP> the BEEF?" GP> Ronny runs off in shame. . . LOL...he was clowning around too much. GP> McDonald's tried to make a beef version of the McRib, but failed. GP> Hopefully they learned from their McSteaks. During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Wendy's, Arby's, etc.) have it on the menu, so they can pick up the Catholic clientele. I like the fish from Arby's...but am trying to conserve the funds right now. Daryl ....
