Here is my big bitch for the week.
If you post a sign outside of a business stating that you are open 24 hours a day, then shouldn't you be?
I had a craving for a sausage, egg, and cheese muffin at four this morning and went to the local McDonald's that boasted 24 hour business. I bounced in my seat at the thought of having my favorite breakfast sandwich on my work lunch break only to have the bitch on the other side of the microphone tell me that they were closed for breakfast preparation.
My heart sank as I left the drive-thru, minus my craving, to head to the gas station next door. I was forced to settle for a large coffee that was probably 3 hours old and not so fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
In hind sight, I now feel terrible for my co-worker, Lekidra. She was simply an innocent by standard of the whole situation and deserves a raise for having to deal with my outburst last night.
You see, it occurred to me as I climbed out of the van last night that they don't close down for preparations for lunch.
The needle on my 'Bitch Gage' was already in the yellow. When this thought hit me, it went straight into red and warning bells started ringing in my ears.
Sadly, the bells were too late. I had a full out tantrum in the laundry room that involved jumping up and down on my Krispies.
So the question now is... Do we have a case for false advertising?
The sign says that they are open 24 hours a day, Monday thru Sunday. It doesn't say anywhere that they must close for 'breakfast preparations'. I would be totally okay if there was a sign that said that they were closed for an hour in the morning for 'daily paperwork'. But, I seriously think that the bitch flat out lied too me. It's more than likely the case that they just didn't want to work.
I blame the lack of smoking on being so pissed about this. I haven't had a cigarette since Wednesday morning. WOOHOO! While I can already tell that I can breath better, I've been a raging bitch for the last 5 days. I'm not sure that taking a full breath is worth it anymore.
