Some people believe a sandwich isn’t a sandwich without  pickles. I like pickles on sandwiches at times, but I won’t say it’s a necessity. But restaurants like Chick Fil A have made pickles a staple ingredient in their sandwiches. When it comes to fast food, it’s difficult to find an establishment that gets your order right….just the way you like it. But Tina Drouin was in for a rude awakening when she didn’t get her steak and cheese sandwich ordered to her liking. The employee actually put all of the ingredients she asked for on the sandwich. So you would think there wouldn’t be a problem, right??? Think again. Tina became irate at the employee for putting too many pickles on her sandwich. In fact, she became so irritated that she decided to assault the employee after she was turned down from a refund request. WTH?!

Yes, the employee was just minding their own business and following the customer’s orders when Tina went all the way left. She said there was “too much s$%t” on her sandwich and proceeded to punch the employee. The report doesn’t tell whether or not the employee was male or female. Either way, the employee would have been well within their rights to retaliate in any way they saw fit. All of this just happened on Monday at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs at Quincy train station around 2:00 pm, just yesterday. Not only did Tina curse at the employee and punch them, but she also continued yelling at them and even threw 2 heavy jars of pickles at the employee which flew to the floor and shattered in pieces.

I don’t get it. If Tina has such a vendetta against too many pickles, why even put them on the sandwich in the first place. And how many is too many? 3, 4, or 5 slices? Ms. Drouin tried to run from authorities after her sour outburst, but didn’t quite make it and was detained until police arrived. When questioned about her violent motives for assaulting the employee, she just simply said they put “too many pickles”.  When I first read about this I was angry and I’m still angry now as I’m typing this blog. The only thing left to say is that employee must have a very high tolerance…..one that’s way higher than mine would have been. Pickles on a sandwich will never be the same again.

What are your thoughts about this punch for a peck of pickled peppers? Say that 5 times fast…

 

Keep Waiting On The Tip

Food is one of my best friends. It tastes good, doesn’t argue with you and only just makes my workouts that much harder, lol. I will be the first to admit, I’m not the easiest person to get along with when I’m hungry. Give me some great food, and I’m a happy man. I always say I could never be a waiter at a place like Pappadeaux or Razzoos, because I would eat all of the customers’ food. Sad, but true. Speaking of waiters (and waitresses), many of them are up in arms about one small thing many patrons seem to skip out on….the tip. Hopefully everyone reading this does at least give some kind of tip when they eat out, lol (at least 15% gratuity is standard).

One lady managed to rack up a $138 tab, but didn’t quite have enough money to pay the waiter. Why? She’s a single mom. Yep, that was her excuse. Never mind the fact that she just spent at least a week’s worth of groceries (and toiletries) in one sitting. In the space where the tip should have been on the receipt, she wrote “Single mom, sorry”. But mustered up the audacity to write, “Thank you it was great” at the bottom. Exactly what can the waiter/waitress do with that “thank you” tip? Right….nothing. I can put away some food and hold my own with many people, but where/what was she eating that she ran up such a high tab? I’m guessing she was at a bar and 70 % of this bill was for liquor charges. We can definitely rule Denny’s out of the picture.

The next situation is a little more understandable, but the joke so happened to be on the customer this go round. Des Moines, Iowa resident Chloe Teply ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut and wasn’t able to give the delivery man a tip. Chloe’s story is a little more believable considering she probably spent less than $30 vs. $138. Instead of walking away and getting back in his vehicle, the delivery man decided to urinate on her front porch. A little liquid payback for the lack of a tip he received. Chloe didn’t notice it until a few hours later and assumed it must have been the pizza delivery man who left her the yellow puddle present. And her apartment security cameras confirmed her intuition was spot on. The apartment manager also called Pizza Hut and the driver was fired, but not before he called Ms. Teply to apologize and come clean up the mess he made.

What do you think is an appropriate tip? Have you ever not given a tip and felt guilty about it? Does poor service warrant a diminished tip?

3 Piece & A Fiery Pepper

Imagine pulling up to Popeyes (or your favorite fast food chicken restaurant) and ordering your favorite meal, the 3 piece and a pepper. There’s something about the pepper that brings out the flavor of the meat and all of the seasonings. Add a soda and a biscuit and you have a party all by yourself. But I digress…I’m getting hungry now, lol. Now imagine that same 3 piece being a love triangle. Instead of a thigh, breast and wing it’s you, me and she. SMH…but, where does the pepper come in?

31-year-old Maelynn Stanley had an extreme case of women’s intuition….or maybe just insanity. She accused her 48-year-old boyfriend, who remained unnamed in the police report, of “having relations with another female”.  Irate and obviously upset, a drunk Stanley, proceeded to push and shove the supposed cheater at a Sunset Inn in Fort Pierce, FL over the extra piece added to their order. She ordered a 2 piece, not a 3. There’s no telling what the boyfriend’s order was. But that’s not the best part…..she did all of this while being covered in hot sauce. WTH?! It’s one thing to cause a scene and fight for your suspicions, but this is so crazy it’s actually funny.

What I want to know is how much hot sauce was she actually covered in? It doesn’t just pour out of the bottle, so did she put it on drop by drop? And was the boyfriend standing there watching her cover herself in hot sauce? I can see why he didn’t disclose his name now. I wouldn’t want to be associated with that foolishness either. There’s not enough alcohol in the world to make somebody cover themselves in hot sauce. That’s not alcohol; that’s just crazy. At this point, it may just be best for them to cut ties and go their separate ways. Going off on someone for supposed cheating is one thing, but doing it with condiments all over you is proof you’ve lost all rationale.

Stanley was arrested later that night, giving new meaning to the popular Dr. Pepper catch phrase, “I’m A Pepper”. A 3 piece and a pepper will never be the same…. What do you think about it all?

Finger Licking Good

Imagine going to your favorite fast food restaurant. You can’t wait to get there after work, school or football practice and enjoy your favorite combo. The number 1 with cheese, large fries and a large soda. You come there so much, they know you by name and you know how much you’re going to pay….down to the cent. The cashier says, “See you tomorrow!” And you know they’re exactly right because you’ll be there at the same time tomorrow evening. You get your food, sink your teeth into your burger and…..um, wait. Hmmm….something rubbery and fleshy here….A FINGER! That’s right….you told them to hold the tomatoes and mayo, and they gave you a finger instead. WTH?!!! This has got to be a joke, but it looks and tastes all too real to be a prank.

On May 11, 2012, this was exactly the case for Michigan teen Ryan Hart.  He bit down into his Arby’s roast beef sandwich and to hs surprise, found a finger in it. Well it technically wasn’t a whole finger. It was approximately one inch long and a quarter-inch thick. But who cares about the size??? The real question here is why was there any part of a human finger in his sandwich!? Again…WTH?!?! Apparently, one of the workers cut her finger on a meat slicer and fled her work area without the other employees noticing. Ok, cuts happen…and Neosporin heals cuts faster. But why in the world didn’t any of the other employees notice this??? Come on now, Arby’s I know you’re  making a come back, but nobody is (or should be) that busy where you don’t see a coworker with a bloody finger (or at least traces of the evidence)! SMH…

Thankfully, Ryan has had his blood tested and everything came back fine. But that could have turned out much worse than it did. To add an even more interesting twist, his mother, Jamie Vail,  is unsure on whether or not she’ll sue Arby’s. Unsure????? Jamie, did you not put on deodorant that day? What do you mean unsure???? Maybe she’s trying to practice turning the other cheek (or finger), but I doubt I could be that strong if that happened to my son. Hopefully she’s going to take action on this though, and she’s just saying she’s “unsure” because that’s what her lawyer told her to say.

Is it just me, or does this make you leery of any fast food places now??? accidents like this can happen, but I’d just feel much more comfortable cutting my own finger and then trying to prepare my own food afterwards…at home. But when you really think about it, isn’t that the case with most restaurants? We give them our money in exchange for food that we trust at least meets minimal health standards. And get this, that same Arby’s in Michigan is still in business! I would assume an event like that would shut anybody’s restaurant down, but no…Arby’s is still standing tall and promoting their “Delicious” roast beef sandwich.

So what do you think about this case? Should the employee who cut her finger be punished? Should the mother decide not to sue Arby’s? What would you do here and how much faith do you have in fast food service….or any restaurant for that matter? Bon appetit!
