    Re: "Try are McGriddles"

    I drove by a church sign the other day that said:

    "Come on in for a warm welcome"


    I thought it was kinda funny at the time . . . you know a "warm" time . . . hell . . . I got nuthin'.

    It's actually only been there maybe ten years or so. There was an old stand-alone Sears store where that strip center is that stood for maybe 50 years. They tore it down in the '90s and redeveloped the entire corner. It was built to look like a '50s-era McDonald's.

    When did your grandmother work there? I worked in the candy dept for my first job. Later I worked at their service station pumping gas. If she was there in the early 70's, I probably knew her.
    NWC?

    Norm,

    I have an update for you. The management has heard your plea and changed the sign. It now reads "TRY ORE MCGRIDDLES."

    Carry on.

    OK, I thought VK was just joking, but I drove by this afternoon, and it's true. THE SIGN SAYS TRY ORE MCGRIDDLES!!!!!!!!!! UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Obviously, someone alerted them by saying something along the lines of "uhhh, I thought you might want to know, you really want to use the version of "our" that starts with "o." Apparently, some stupid squack that works there doesn't even know the word "our" exists.

    It's probably because literally 95% of the employees at that location barely speak English, something I've never understood in a customer service environment.

    Re: "Try are McGriddles"

    Dude, that is an old school mcd's, as in blitz ate there as a 'ute' over 25 years ago. Maybe it's been remodeled, but I can still remember every inch of it as it was.

    Old school with grimmace and the hamburgler, for gawds sake. Long before that sissy playroon shiite. I had to play 'skin your knee on the asphalt' at Mc Ds when I was a kid. The good ol' days.




    Autoerotic asphyxiation is my anti-drug.
