Stupid Hurts

So I have a theory as to why chain restaurants are typically successful. Consistency is key. I know for a fact I can go to a MacDonald’s anywhere in the world and without looking at the menu order a number one, and the person behind the counter will hand me a Big Mac and a soda. There is no risk in getting something unfamiliar or “strange” because I know the one in Seattle Washington serves the exact same thing as the one in Taipei Taiwan.
So I went to Checkers yesterday and ordered a new burger they had on their menu. It was awesome. I think I sat there for nearly an hour savoring every single bite. The only thing that would have made the burger more perfect would have been a nice thick slice of pineapple. Given the fact I usually avoid chain restaurants because they are almost always the same time after time, I went back to Checkers today expecting the same awesome burger. Unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. I really wonder what could have happened in 24 hours. This time I came close to tossing the burger in the trash halfway through eating it. I was painfully reminded why I prefer mom and pop places now.

And as an added bonus my chest hurts……..
