Random Soapbox for Saturday 1/16/10

I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...

... Dear World: (hope that isn't too broad a salutation) when you choose to go through drive-through at a fast food restaurant, please do so because you are already familiar with the menu. It's true -- the McRib is back [and young-uns, I worked there when the product first launched -- ask for it no sauce/add cheese for a twist like we used to eat it in the break room] and the Big Mac snack wrap is surprisingly good [even to this person not accustomed to throwing a bunch of stuff in a tortilla and calling it lunch] -- but please don't roll up in line and spend five minutes transfixed by the breadth of items from which you can choose or marvel that someone would think to have a sandwich of cheese added to a quarter pound* of beef (or -- gasp -- a half pound*)or calculate long-form whether the value meal is really a value -- just order and drive ... through (that's the way it's supposed to work). Nine out of ten chances, the folks behind you are in a hurry! (*weight measured prior to cooking, for those of you who are fans of fine print)
