We found ourselves once again in need of a fast lunch. I opted for a nearby
Wendy's, chiefly because I can get cut strawberries instead of fries as part
of a meal.
I'm in the drive-through placing the order. First Laurel's, then mine. Just
when I complete my statement, I hear this reply: "Garbage."
My mind whirled. Responses I considered:
- "What?? Lettuce and tomato isn't good enough on that burger?"
- "HEY! That's my LUNCH!"
- "I know, I know, I should have ordered the salad."
The person taking my order was a manager, who immediately explained that
her remark was in response to a query from a coworker. The response
wasn't intended for me (and I knew it right away).
It was a good laugh.
