My hopes and dreams dashed
Offline Today on a whim and a hunger I decided upon a trip to the great restaurant. I decided I would make a selection that I have not enjoyed in quite some time. The thought of obtaining a meal from so fine an establishment made the very fiber of my being quiver in anticipation. Yes I went to Mcdonalds and ordered a number 4. The perky teen voice of the female at the other end of the drive through the voice receptacle seemed to anticipate my own happiness as I made my order very carefully, excluding the hateful onion group of vegetation as proper tact drives me to do. Sometime towards the end of my great order the female voice asked if I would "like some ketchup for my fries?" I gave this a moment of thought, ketchup, I believe it has been an even more drastic amount of time since I had enjoyed the ketchup from so fine an establishment and I told the female voice "yea sure." I noted only a short time had passed before the screen of ordering read "1 Ketchup Packet". This thrilled me as I could never have imagined a thrill. All else was lost to the thought of obtaining "1 Ketchup Package." Note my regret and ultimate feeling of rejection when I arrived back at my domicile to find "3 Ketchup Packets". I know not why this plagues me but the feeling persists and I felt compelled to share it.
Faith is the word but next to that snugged up closely "lie's" the want.

Funny. It's better than taco bell. What kills me is even in San Antonio TX taco bell has mostly hispanic people that work there but they find it funny to give you 5 packs of taco sauce for let's say an order of 10 tacos. You know when they get food from there they put 3 or 4 of them on theirs.
If all the Christians who have called other Christians " not really a Christian " were to vanish, there'd be no Christians left.
I lived in San Antonio for a time, some of the best eating places around are the hole in the wall mexican food spots there.

Absolutely! I love the taco stands.
If you ever go to Yuma, there are two Mexican Restaurants that make green chili enchiladas - Chretins and El Charro. If they are still open if you ever go through, I encourage you to try them.
Chretins enchiladas are made with tomatillos, cheddar and jack cheese, corn tortillas and they are fairly mild. I don't remember if there is any meat in them. My sister likes them best.
El Charro's enchiladas are made with out tomatillos and more green chilies. They are pretty hot, but not as hot as I make them. They use only jack cheese, chunks of pork, flour tortillas and put shredded lettuce and a black olive with a pit on top. I like these best.
If you want tamales, go to Rosaritas.
Occasionally I have a hankering for MacDonald's fries, but their hamburgers are truly awful.

Any business owner can tell you that keeping track of supplies helps keep costs down. I understand that. BUT the oppressive attitude of gestapo big business is absurd. They are now keeping track and or charging you for katchup and listing it on the bill?
You should have taking the extra packets back, you may have just gotten someone fired for being kind to you.

Actually I was wearing my "Fine, I evolved you didn't" t-shirt and I was going to say three ketchup packets to remind one of the "trinity" would be silly but they are silly so who knows for certain.
