Place: Burger King
Lunch: $2 for 5 Mix-n-Match Whopper (no lettuce, no tomato) and Pulled Park sandwich, Coke
BK must have paid for half the advertising slots during last night's football game, pounding us with ads promoting the addition of the Pulled Pork sandwich to the $2 for $5 mix-n-match promo they've been doing. So I figured I'd try the pulled pork for lunch today.
So I walk up to the counter and order.
Smiling Short Elderly Counter Girl Who's Regular Speaking Voice is Louder Than Most People Shouting With A Megaphone: "WE CAN'T DO THE PULLED PORK ON THE MIX-N-MATCH!"
Me: "But they ran an ad on the football game last night about a thousand times saying you can now."
Her: "OH REALLY?" *turns to drive-thru girl* "CAN WE DO THE PULLED PORK ON THE MIX-N-MATCH NOW?"
Frowning Drive-Through Counter Girl Who Could Be A Sumo Wrestler: "Yes."
Smiling Short Elderly Counter Girl Who's Regular Speaking Voice is Louder Than Most People Shouting With A Megaphone: "OH! OKAY! LET'S SEE IF THIS WORKS!"
She starts inputting into the register.
Frowning Counter Girl Who's Natural Facial Expression Screams 'I Don't Care About Anything': Um, just enter a stuffed."
Something on the screen appears that says "STFT/WHPR" and I'm charged correctly. I get the sandwiches I actually ordered. Life has once again overcome impossible obstacles.
The Pulled Pork sandwich? Not very good. The thing is actually compacted into something that looks like a pork patty, but it falls apart as you bite into it. It has a Memphis-style barbecue sauce and onion. Just not all that good to me. Probably would have been better off going to Arby's for a Smokehouse. I need to take one of those home for Chester Cat to try.
Cooler weather seems to have finally settled in for good.
I love October.
