Have It Your Way...well, except for that.

Okay...a little vent here. I spent most of the day in Denver this morning getting meds for my Dad so that my sister could have the day off. You wouldn't think that would be a huge undertaking. Yeah, well, I was wrong. The first place I went to waited 15 minutes before they told me that they didn't have the pain killer I was to pick up. "We'll have it in on Wednesday, though." Uh...HELLO McFly!!! IT'S A PICKIN' PAIN KILLER! HE NEEDS IT NOOOOOOOOWWWWWW! Then I had to drive clear across town to another pharmacy where they told me that they didn't have access to the other pharmacy's database (yeah right...), so I had to call my poor father and make him give me all of his information by phone. Then while waiting over an HOUR, Adri and I tooled around the grocery store where we picked up a package of spoons and a jar of beef with vegetables and rice and took it back over to the pharmacy to have lunch. And the people behind the counter looked at me like I was the one inconveniencing THEM by asking every 15 minutes if my script was finished!!! Oy vey...

So anyway, I was on my way home and stopped at Burger King for lunch. I'm really into their Chicken Fries lately. I'm also trying to keep my french fry consumption to the bare minimum, so I asked him to keep the fries a medium and just king size the drink. "I'm sorry ma'am, we can't do that." What do you mean you can't do that? Every other Burger King I've ever been to can do it!" "We just don't have that option...I'm sorry." So because he can't seem to find the button on the cash register, I end up having to order all three things separately and paying $1.50 MORE than I would have if I had gotten the meal--not to mention that I got a SMALL fry instead of the medium one that came with the meal, so I even got less food and still paid more! Ugh... I know there are bigger injustices in the world, but...well, it's just not right.
