Fast Food Thoughts
I have to say I like fast food even though I know consuming a salt lick and taking a punch to the heart would be just as good for me. In order my favorites are probably
1. Chipotle
2. Taco Bell
3. Wendy's
4. McDonald's
5. Jimmy John's
But that's besides the point. Here are three recent thoughts I've had about fast food:
1) Everyone who works at my local Jimmy John's is high. Everyone. I have not met a single employee who is not completely stoned at work. They work slowly, make the wrong sandwich, stare blankly and cannot even roll the paper around the sandwich properly. Even better, they don't label the sandwich. I can't fault them for it because I assume they just forget what the sandwich is by the time it reaches the end of the assembly line.
2) Why is it a big deal every time McDonald's has bacon? They always make a huge deal about it - it's usually their special sandwich of the month. Quick, name another restaurant that serves a hamburger that does not offer at least the option of bacon on that hamburger. You can't name one except McDonald's. They serve bacon at breakfast! I don't see why this transfer is a big deal.
Side note about McDonald's - I was checking out their website for bacon sandwich related information (they didn't have any) - and I clicked on their "fun section." It contains the strangest racist pandering I've ever seen including "365 Black" and "i am asian." "365 Black" I can't figure out except for they add McDonald's to quotations such as, "I once heard a story, 'Whatever blooms from the Baobab is given back to the Earth, because the mighty tree never forgets its roots.' Like the mighty Baobab, McDonald's and I will not be moved." What?!! Also, they give out free ringtones. Nice.
Even more odd is "i am asian" which just goes to a picture of an apartment you can sort of move around. You can tell they are asian because there is a laptop or something.
3) Why does ever fast food restaurant advertise they can make the burger any way you want? It used to be Burger King's thing but sure enough everyone does it now including the brilliant Wendy's spot wherein generic fast food workers sing "Love the one you're with" when someone complains about their burger toppings. This all implies (does not beg) the question: What fast food restaurant will only serve the burger one way, giving you a big "screw you" when you try to order anything different? It's like Duracell advertising "With our product many products you thought you might have to plug in become mobile! Change your TV channel without getting up!" Can you really advertise something about your product that is no different from other products? Apparently you can.
