Dave Thomas would be ashamed
We went through the Wendys drive-thru the other night for a quick dinner to take home. For Kathy and the boys, I ordered three #4 value meals, one with a salad for the side order, and the other two with fries. Billy’s kind of a wuss when it comes to vegetables on his fast food, so I asked them to make one of the burgers without tomatoes or onions. The person behind the speaker asked me, and I quote, “Which meal has no tomatoes and no onions?”
I pondered this question for several seconds, then finally broke the tension by saying “The first one.”
As is always the case, I came up with a much more clever response later. Had all cylinders been firing at the time, I would have responded “The meal with the side salad has no tomatoes and no onions. No wait, make it the one with fries. No wait, the other one with fries!” I can just imagine the cashier’s fingers flying over the register as the order is entered and re-entered.
