When It Goes, I Go!

We had lunch at Quizno's today. They had a new menu, and my favorite sandwich wasn't on it. Oh, noes!

"Do you still have the Smokehouse Beef Brisket?" I asked.

"Yes we do, but it's been discontinued. We still have the makings in stock, but when that's gone, it's gone."

"The main reason I come here is for that sandwich. When it's gone, I'm gone!"

Our preparer (who was very nice) turned to someone in the stockroom and said, "Did you hear that? When he can't get the Smokehouse Beef Brisket, he's gone." I hope that information gets passed up the food chain and they put it back on the menu. The preparer said it was her favorite, too.

This is the only power we have. We can vote with our feet. If they don't carry that sandwich, I won't be eating there nearly as often. And that's not just me, they're losing Connie's business, too.

We used to watch The Dresden Files on the Sci-Fi channel. It was the only show we watched on Sci-Fi. Now that it's been cancelled (grrr), we don't watch the Sci-Fi channel any more.

While we were waiting for our meal to be prepared, a little towheaded girl about four years old pushed in front of me to get a bag of chips off the shelf. Her dad asked her not to do that. He said she was like that seagull in the movie.

"The movie where the seagull goes in the store and steals the chips?" I asked. He said that was the one. Another woman in line said, "I love that movie!"

I've seen this tiny video on blogs and in my email. Behold the power of the Internet!
