epistle log 20enty 3hree
convenience
"can i get two rallyburgers with no meat? . . . and a large fry and a large coke? . . . thanks."
$4.95
the guy assembling the burgers (his name tag reads only "$$$ BIG D $") asks (in a manner jeff foxworthy would be proud to hear his son speak in): "who orders a burger with no meat?!"
enter the manager who took the order: (in a voice that reminiscent of morgan freeman) "someone who doesn't like meat." (short, calm, flat, factual: completely nonjudgmental)
$$$ BIG D $: "why don't they just go and buy some buns and pickles and lettuce and mayo and make one themselves instead of coming to rally's and buying only lettuce and a bun and stuff?"
(mental retort): "while they're at it, why don't they buy some hamburger and go home and put you out of a job . . ."
(cutting over in words much truer . . .)
manager: "some people pay for convenience."
