Best Value is No 2

A few year's ago I was at a Carl's Jr. and had an entertaining conversation with an employee who attempted to convey the lack of a large drink cup using some rudimentary charades game.

Well yesterday, I was again at a local Carl's Jr. (not that I am saying it has been years since I have been at a Carl's Jr.). I was in the drive thru, having been sent by my lovely bride to get food at a newly renovated Carl's advertising the addition of Green Burrito food. The first thing I noticed was that the menu board had the Green Burrito items listed as "Coming Soon" and a note explaining their arrival would be this Wednesday.

When I began to place my order, I was informed that they had just run out of large cups (sounds familiar to me). This time there was not charades, which was good as I would have been even more confused with them in the drive thru.

After placing my order I pulled up to the window. As I waited for the car in front of me to get done, I noticed that the drive thru employee was spending a long time leading out the window explaining something to the driver ahead of me.

When I arrived at the window, I was greeted with the news that they not only did not have large cups, but they had also run out of American cheese. They had yet to have their delivery of food for the day and were starting to run out a many standard items. At this point, I just wanted to get my food and get out of there, so I selected swiss cheese for our Western Bacon Cheese Burger and Famous Star (the other choice was pepperjack, which I thought would not quite work) and headed home. The swiss was not the worst choice, but it was clearly not the way I woudl have preferred by burger to have come. At least we go a senior's discount to help even the balance.
