So, this irritates me.

When I go to a fast food place and order my food a specific way, if the employees mess up my order and I have to take the time to park my car, go inside, and complain, why don’t they let me keep the food they messed up? Or better yet, why don’t they give that food to some needy person? People are starving on the streets. Why do they just chuck it into the trash can? That is such a waste.

Back in the day, if they messed up your food, they’d let you keep the messed up food. I mean, it’s their fault. It’s just going in the trash anyway. I’ll never forget one time I was at a McDonald’s and ordered a Happy Meal with no pickles or with mayonaise or something. They didn’t get my order right. I took them my Happy Meal bag, and they threw the whole thing away! The toy and everything!! There was nothing wrong with my fries or toy! And it was those collectable Disney figures too!

And why are places so skimpy on the french fries? I mean, if you’re going to give them to be in a box, fill the box up all the way, not halfway! I got a large fry, and I swear I think what they did was fill up a medium box and dump it into the large one!

And why are places decreasing their portion sizes but not their prices? And why does the “healthy” fast food options cost so much more?

Does this bug anyone else?

I was tagged by Bubs. (I’ve never been tagged before! Ah!)

I started blogging back in the spring of 2001. I had a blog I wrote in daily (sometimes more than once) from about 2001 - 2003 (or 4). For awhile, I went blogless. Eventually I picked my LiveJournal back up but didn’t blog faithfully. That was a stressful time in my life. I was teaching in Lexington, having a miserable time.

I’ve only been using WordPress since March. So far, I’m loving everything about it!

So, why do I blog? Well, for a variety of reasons I guess. It’s personally satisfying. It’s fun. Relaxing. A good way to keep my online friends aware of what’s going on in my life.

And I’d like to tag…. Jenn, Jessica, and Arien.
