Where are they now?

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

At home, again.  Thinking about what I want to eat for breakfast on Saturday.

[Vita Curator]

At home, on a cold Saturday morning, sipping freshly ground French Roast ambrosia.  Ahh.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

had a Whataburger with a chocolate malt ... at least that is what I asked for ...

What I got was a plain choco-shake.  Disappointment!

Why is it, that some folk do not care one whit about the job they are being paid to do?

I know it's only fast food, but the young-person who made my "malt" obviously did not care about the quality of their work, or that their name was on it, and it was a bad product.

Back in the day, when I did my time in fast-food, I did care about the results -- within the materials I was given, I st rived to at least match the customer's expectations.  My name  was on the results, as well as the restruants'.

*sigh*

I drank it anyway ...

WhataBurger has that problem...

The HQ chews 'em out, but some franchizes SAY they're giving you a malt if they use a half-teaspoon of it. You and I BOTH know it takes more than that.

If you're ever in Refugio, Texas...THEY make a malt with MALT in it at that WhataBurger. (Family member owns it. LOTS of malt in the malts...by command of Da Boss...)

No WhataBurger here. I miss WhataBurger.

Personally, I put much of the blame on McD's, who  only serve "shakes".

Not really a big fan of milk-and-icecream.  I can make a better one at home, with better ingredients (add a teaspoon of real vanilla extract to chocolate ones.  Add tablespoon to the "plain" vanilla ones. Add some strawberry preserves to the strawberry ones.  Blend with hand blender).

When I was a laddie, in the 4th grade, we lived in Minneapolis, Minnesota (the dairy state, according to them at the time).  There was an Ice Cream parlor-type-store called "Bridgemans".  They only used the finest ingredients, and they made a real chocolate malt.  Heavenly!  And their vanilla malt had real vanilla extract, not the imitation kind.  Their ice cream was made with lots and lots of milk-fat.  I haven't had a Bridgemans ice-cream for nearly 40 years, but I still remember it well ...

[The Meromorph]

Ah! Bridgemanns!
They invented the Knickerbocker Glory, and the Lallapalooza Shake, and the Patty Melt - a true Patty Melt has wheat on one side, rye on the other, and Swiss cheese on the rye side and cheddar on the wheat side!

[Sibling Chatty]

Heh...I'd blame McD's for ruining almost ANY "fast food" by focusing on fast and leaving out the food.

I once presided over a Patty Melt war that included the Original, the rye only option, and the wheat only option. Finally I put down the spatula, turned off the stove and told em' to get me when they had decided... Wheat only?? What's up wif dat?? And it's a PATTY melt, not a bread melt...ya melt the Swill on the mean and the American into the bread, but on top of the grilled onions.

Least that's how my Aunt Jean taught me.

[Sibling Kephra (Tansy)]

At home, in the Sault.  Drinkin' a beer.  Thinking about Samhain tomorrow...  That scroll of the dead's a killer one for me this year.

[DeadPoet]

I'm sitting here in a quite comfortable chair, with the laptop on a table beside me, in front of my fireplace, with a bottle of (excellent!) Riesling wine. I just sent to Berlin the work of 3 weeks and I'm taking a break now, which explains why I happen to be in a good mood.

[Swatopluk]

Soon leaving for a (photo) lecture on Tibet.
Was looking for a special topic in scientific literature database.
The first two interesting hits were Japanese, the next Chinese, 4+5 were Russian (none of those languages I can say to be able to understand, although I can read kyrillic).

It's pronouned "Sow-in". 

I've just finished a cleaning fit.  Waiting for my quiche to be cooked.  Lookin' good in my yoga pants, grey teeshirt and hair in a bun. 

[Aggie]

Sitting at my desk at work.

I think I'm in the wrong time zone....   
Back to work.

[Duke]

I'm at my computer, wishing, waiting, thinking, listening to Coldplay. I'm in a Coldplay kind of mood.
