Fast food is weird.

Classic childhood memories via

Have any of you eaten fast food lately? If you're an American, statistically, the chances are pretty good that you have. I ask because my office is within walking distance of a Subway, a Burger King, a Pizza Hut, and a nameless pizza joint where surly workers serve tasteless greasy slices. And since Andy's been dropping me off this week, if I forgot my lunch, I got fast food.

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!
