Lunchtime Observations

Girls who work at Wendy’s downstairs have the coolest names: Tenece, Girly, India, Carlotta.

There used to be a poster signed by Dave Thomas there, but after Dave died it was replaced by a different poster of him waving goodbye with a spatula.

At Wendy’s customers are always referred to as “guests”. I wonder if that is true in all other fast food places.

Mike’s lunch: two pieces of GG Brand Scandinavian crispbread + Classic Triple® with cheese – onions – buns.

789 calories + 6 net grams of carbs. Interesting, the patties contain 40% of daily value of iron and 6% of calcium. What’s in them? Teeth and cowbells?
