July 16, 2008: Breaking (egg) News

Sundae · 07-16-2008, 10:25 AM

I always willing to give shops/ restaurants/ fast food places some leeway on their official times in order to prevent waste.

However it is give & take.
If they follow the letter of the law when it comes to timing I would be more likely to create a fuss. I don't think I've ever needed a McMuffin enough to call the HQ

However I did squeal on my local deli. The owner and manager were out and the staff said they couldn't serve me because they were closing early. I only wanted olives - to take away. There were people eating, who would have been there for at least another half hour. But apparently they'd been packed all day and hadn't had time for a break. Yeah, welcome to the real world. I'm after olives, not a 4 person drink and sandwich order.

So I mentioned it in passing to the boss the next time I was in there. Serves the staff right - I was a regular customer up until that point and I think they should have acknowledged that. It wasn't even close to closing time.

Anyway. God I'm in a ranty mood today!
I love the egg. Very clever.
Just hope they're free range
