I had sort of forgotten that fast food joints are staffed by children and idiots. I ordered a Tendergrill sandwich - which is a stupid name - at Burger King, and asked to have it without mayo but with pickles and onions. It came without lettuce and tomatoes, which I thought were standard. I also asked for onion rings instead of french fries. The girl looked at the order, then handed me french fries. I feel like being able to read is probably required to work at these places, but I suppose I could be wrong.
On a trip somewhere last week I stopped at a McDonalds and ordered a Happy Meal (it's not way too much fucking food, like most of their items). I was seriously thrown when the girl asked me if I wanted a toy for a boy or a girl. I think it creeped her out when I said it didn't matter.
Needless to say, I've felt like shit eating so much fast food. Good thing I got my new(er) car tonight! Yeah!
It's pretty hard here in Sydney, too... if you haven't planned ahead (or come loaded with cash), the inner city is somewhat of a culinary desert.
ReplyDeleteReally? I guess I sort of assumed that it would be easier to find decent food in major international metropolitan areas. Too bad. My company's moving in a few months, and I'm psyched that there's an independently-owned coffee/sandwich shop across the street from the new building!
