The BLT Crisis Has Passed

This lunchtime was mostly good.  No extra charge for a tomato on my BLT.  I feel much better about that.

I did have an odd experience though.  Two weeks ago, I was surprised when my lunch there was served on a platter instead of a tray as usual.  Today, I was surprised when there was neither a platter or  nor a tray.  I just received a wrapped sandwich and a bag of onion rings.  Just trying to keep me on my toes, I guess.

Lunchtime

This was not a good lunchtime - not counting the guy who tried to drive into the side of my car, the two people who turned in front of me, or the lady who held her door open blocking the parking space I was trying to use.

First, my bank's ATM machine could not dispense cash.  Then, I noticed my brand new ATM card is cracked.  Adding to these, the restaurant charged me extra for tomato.  I know there are restaurants that charge extra for tomato, but this was on a BLT.  That is false advertising.  You cannot say a BLT costs $4.50 and charge extra for the tomato.  I don't know of any place that says they sell a BL.

I am going to give the restaurant one more chance.  They have a special on the BLT on Fridays.  If they charge me for the tomato again, my current resolve is to stop eating there.
