Replacement Pizza

Choosing a blog topic is not easy for me.  I’ve been thinking for a couple days about what might be interesting or fun to write about. And I have to admit to coming up dry. I’ve got the television turned on, looking for ideas. Watching “Finding Bigfoot.” I’ve always been fascinated with that subject ever since I was a small child looking at the Patterson film of “the” or maybe “a” creature tromping through the woods. Something very mysterious about unknown creatures and the search for them, and everyone knows I love mysteries.

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m pondering topics – other than Bigfoot.

I’m a little rusty at writing a blog, two times out of three, my co-author Marian writes the blog. But this time it’s my turn and she’s busy with other things.

As I take the first bite of pizza and consider what to write, I discover that instead of “extra” sauce I got “no” sauce. Double sigh.

Anyway, order guy said it will be about half an hour, so I have time to chat with you.

Even going through McDonald’s drive through for my week-day morning Egg McMuffin and coffee, it’s a toss-up (see how I avoided using the appropriate curse word) of what I’ll get in the little white paper bag and paper cup. Once last week I got an Egg McMuffin without the egg. And in my coffee (here’s where my co-author starts laughing), I like 4 Equals and 4 creams in a “large” plain, fully caffeinated coffee. Only 3 times out of 10 do I get what I order. Usually they short me Equals. Sometimes they leave out the cream. Or I get the “We’re out of large coffee cups, do you want a medium?” Of course I know that won’t work out right. How do I know how much Equal or Cream I need for that size cup? And how much of each will they actually put in? Maybe 3 each? Three would require less math. I know – I should just find somewhere else to get my coffee. But I still have hope. McDonalds has good coffee.

But back to my premise. When there was more human interaction and less computer generated orders, you were more likely to get exactly what you ordered. True or False? And when you find you didn’t get what you ordered, do you send it back or just complain in private?

Doorbell is ringing. My replacement pizza is here. Sigh.

p.s. – the replacement pizza had the normal amount of sauce on it – not the extra I ordered. I guess I’m just going to have to switch to frozen pizza – or maybe make it myself. No, probably not.
