Perils of My Diet

I went to Whataburger today during the post-church rush. Well, I actually showed up just before the post-church lunch rush and finished my order about halfway through the post-church rush. I felt it was important to verify that certain vegetables were or were not present on a hamburger as ordered without additional instructions. Since cheese, mayonaise, shrimp, chocolate, cyanide, iodine, lots of salt, any sugar, almonds, and various peppers will kill me, it was important that none of these be on my hamburger. It turns out that the french fried potatoes are not cut naturally from the potato (the young lady at the counter pointed me towards Jack in the Box, but I couldn't see it because I am not very tall and can only see 4 feet in front of me anyhow). They do not have RC Cola or Hill Country Fare Cola, only Pepsi-Cola, and will not sell it in a size smaller than "Small", which is really just more than I can drink, and is too heavy regardless.

I took my order back twice because I detected faint hints of lettuce. No more than a single stray flake, but I specified NO lettuce, not VIRTUALLY NO lettuce.

That was a good burger.
