I’m not sure if this has been brought up here (I didn’t see it, anyway…) she was six months pregnant at the time of the ‘incident’; is there a (now) six-month old baby waiting for her to get out of prison in ten years? Did the Father get custody, would the Mother get visitation rights, etc.
I’m not saying she should get visitation, I’m just wondering what the outcome was.
btw, I agree about Wendy’s drive-through being quick… the food’s always hot, always exactly what I ordered, and usually ready in less than two minutes (in my experience…) Ain’t technology great?
COUNTY: WTF? Who’s debating the merits of no onions? What research did McDonalds do to study if I want onions or not? I don’t recall them asking me nor the person I kiss!
And don’t even get me started on your president and Iraq…
GUESS MY BETTERS? McDonalds is better than me? How the hell do you figure that?
LOL I can’t take you seriously County, but you do crack me up. There’s a glimmer of hope that you pull your shtick for exactly that purpose, but I doubt it.
McD’s cheeseburgers aren’t cooked with onions. Assuming they haven’t changed formats in the last few years, this is their process. Meat is cooked on the grill-placed in trays in a heated cabinet. The order comes on the screen. The ‘initiator’ drops the buns for the sandwich, they come out of the toaster, and they place the buns on a wrap. If it’s a special order, they sticker the grill slip to the wrap. They put the dressings on-ketchup, mustard, sauces, whatever, and slide it to the next person. If it’s a special order, the request is repeated. That person adds onions, lettuce, pickles, tomato, cheese, etc, and passes it to the ‘Finisher’, who takes a piece of meat out of the heated cabinet, puts it on the bun, and wraps the sandwich. A cheeseburger without onions is just as easy to make, it’s just a matter of communication. That was their downfall while I was there, they may have perfected it by now. The only thing that could really delay the cars in terms of special requests would be like ordering fries with no salt (which could take up to 3 minutes), ordering a sandwich with no salt (it’s cooked into the meat) which could take like 45 seconds, or maybe ordering a salad some special way, which most stores don’t even do unless it’s slow. All of these would usually get pulled up to allow the cars behind them to be served.
And, my theory on why they don’t advertise their speed at Wendys is because the minute they promise fast, accurate service, a store somewhere won’t live up to the expectation for whatever reason (hey, shit happens), and we’ll look like liars. Most people KNOW that Wendy’s offers superior service, but it’s not set in stone that we HAVE to provide it. That was another mistake McD’s made…a few summers back, they ran some “That’s Our Time!” promotion-they promised 90 seconds or less during all peak hours, or you received a coupon for a small sandwich or fry or something. As soon as the commercials hit the air, the stores started plummeting. No one could meet the goals. They lost a LOT of money that summer…
