Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Don't eat tempeh for lunch unless you keep Beano at your desk. I'm going to have to sneak out to the CVS down the street if I don't want to gas my co-workers out of the office.

Canada

The Blackjack Taco is in Canada now so I'll give one a try soon. That said, I didn't realize that the Cheesy Gordita Crunch was an LTO item in the US but I'm seeing ads talking about how "it's back for a limited time". It's a fixture of the menu in Canada and is usually what I order if I happen to go there. The last time I went to TB a few weeks ago I ordered a plain taco for the first time in ages... wow those things seem bland when you're used to some sort of sauce (sour cream, baja sauce, etc.) on a taco.

brilliant

See, I think that's bloody brilliant, because there are a lot of people in the world that have no clue what they're eating. Ever seen that Penn and Teller episode where they feed that one dipshit a fancy glass full of generic cool whip and he thinks it's some kind of very delicate dessert? Same deal.

commercials

Pizza Hut can fuck right off now. I'm way sick of these commercials where they're doing fake hidden camera deals and they're feeding people pasta and wings and they're all "oh by the way. This shit's totally from Pizza Hut. Did we just blow your fucking minds?" And the fake real people are going "say whaaaaaat." It really makes the company sound way too full of their own shit and it's obnoxious.

veggie/vegan

We got some random "veggie/vegan" stuff sent out to our produce department. Chorizo was one of the things, so we tried it, it wasn't bad when mixed with some salsa and stuff. I'd avoid it simply because it had like a three month code date, when the tofu we get in is like three weeks. I don't trust things which have a code date that long out and is supposed to be "fresh".

simply

I had a manager that did that so he could then borrow product from other stores so that way comps would go up due to making more money off of less inventory (since some people would simply forget to transfer the bullet bags over to our store)

also had a manager when I was down in Brownsville that couldn't run the store for shit. Didn't know how to properly order anything and we'd always fall short of product come Saturday night / all-day Sunday. I hated being on DT as the closing manager going to people and saying "Yeah..sorry. We're out of Matcha. Yes...I know this is the third week in a row and I'm sorry we're out of pound cake and various other pastries..."

Whopper

I was once denied a Whopper because BK was out of the proper buns. I asked if they could just do it up on a different bun but they explained they were not able to do that.

I was told much later in life by a former manager that this was a trademark / quality control issue (meaning a Whopper is only allowed to be made with exact Whopper ingredients). I feel like I've told this story before on TOTSM though.
