It's the "little" things that tee me off! My lovely bride and I finished shopping and were headed back to the ranch. I said "Dear, are you parched for a beverage?"...she was. We rolled into a fast food drive-in and ordered a raspberry lemonade and a coke...easy enough. The young male voice said that will be a total of $4.01...easy enough.
We drove to the window and waited, and waited some more. And finally this bored young man popped his head out the window and said in a dull voice that will be $4.53! I said "NO – you quoted me $4.01 – why the higher price?" Now normally for a pittance of 52 cents I would not have said a word...BUT...with his attitude and the long wait I was in a "regressive" mood.
When I say "regressive", at times my foul temper puts me in the "state of mind" that serial killers have – I WAS TEED OFF! I told this young Neanderthal that better job opportunities probably would not come his way, and if he makes a mistake – he should eat it! Now I know, I know, you're saying "Zeb, calm down – it's only 50 cents...NO IT'S NOT...IT'S THE PRINCPLE of the ISSUE!!!"
It's like when you order a salad at a drive in and after you've driven away and parked to enjoy your rabbit food...you find out the "overpaid under worked" $15 an hour "wannabees" forgot to give you a fork!! Ever try eating a salad with ranch dressing and croutons with your fingers?? OR...you open up your "surprise bag of yum" and find that you have the wrong – not anywhere close – to what you ordered! You can't stand fish sandwiches, but NOW you've got 2 of these "wonders from the ocean!"
Fast food should not mean "over looked" service...right now I'm sitting here enjoying an adult beverage that is having a calming effect on my Type A Marine Sergeant mentality...but make sure I get the right burger OR...you'll really tee me off!
My rope horse "Stinger" likes beer...pop the top and that ole' hoss is right there waiting for "the pour of a cold one!" I've never owned such a horse – personality and class – he actually prefers bottled Michelob over canned Coors Lite – he's having steak and lobster on his alfalfa for dinner.....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
