There I am, sitting in a Burger King
outside Mobile, AL, across from Beau, having burger and fries and
contemplating why putting jalapenos on a burger makes it angry (find
link). When, I looked up, and there are two large framed posters on
the wall.
I would have dismissed it altogether
--- I mean seriously, Savor the Moment, but the dishes caught my
attention.
Those burgers are not in snug cardboard
boxes, but on plates. And, look at that ketchup in the clear glass
condiment bowl, instead of the real life packets that never open
nicely. On another wall, over the drink dispenser is the dessert
view.
How pretty is that; deserts in clear
glass cups served up on a tray? Check out the actual utensils!
Now, either they are implying that we
should buy their food and take it home and merchandise it for company or, under
some circumstances, we can get it served other than the usual fast
food style. Yes, I know better than that, but I had to finish
the thought.
We finished our burgers and while Beau
was filling our now 'To Go' waxed paper drink cups, I went up the the young
man behind the counter. When I finally had his attention, I asked
“Am I able to get my meals served on glass plates like it shows in
the posters?” as I pointed to the poster on the wall. He looked at
me, looked at the posters, back at me and said “We ain't got no
glass plates”.
Yes, I do Savor the moment.
Thanks for dropping by.

My husband just asked me if I had seen the Savor the Moment BK commercial. I hadn't so I googled the phrase and your blog post came up. I read it to my husband and he hooted and hollered. You got it spot on, according to him. What a hoot. Thanks for this post, it's priceless.
