Sauce Complaints (cont.)
Just a very quick little note from today's lunch experience. I decided to go to Arby's (the fast food restaurant that wrongly believes it's somehow better than the others) because I forgot to bring my lunch today, and I had a giftcard to use. I get the chicken bacon swiss combo which totals over 7 dollars, and when the lady at the window offers me sauce I asked for honey mustard. She gave me ONE packet. Only one. I know I didn't get tenders, but if you're only going to give me one don't even bother offering.

Dipping Sauce Shortage
If you ever watch Sunday NFL Countdown on ESPN you're probably familiar with the phrase "Come on, man!" which is basically an expression of "What was that all about?" or "You can do better than that." It is also the perfect phrase to describe how I feel most often when I see the amount of dipping sauce that comes with my order of chicken tenders or nuggets from a fast food restaurant.
There was once a day in a bygone era where the person manning the drive thru window put his or her hand haphazardly into the basket of nugget sauces and put such a plethora in your to go bag that you thought you may very well drown in sweet and sour sauce. Those days, my friends, are long gone. Now it seems that with a standard order of tenders or nuggets that come with a combo meal you are only allowed a paltry 2 sauces. I don't know about all of you, but to me getting a good honey mustard or sweet and sour sauce is almost as enjoyable as getting the chicken. I also like to dip my fries in said sauce. I understand that restaurants are trying to make a profit and they are trying to trim fat like extra sauces that people won't use. However, I'm not asking you to just give me 10 packets. All I'm asking is that when you give me two sauces and I specifically request 1 or 2 more please don't insult me by asking me to pay 10 cents a piece for them. Seeing as I'm the paying customer in the situation I don't think it's too out of the ordinary that you might throw me a bone on extra sauce if I go to the trouble to specifically ask for it. Also, perhaps it's unfair for me to lump all places into this little rant since I don't know the policies of every fast food restaurant, but I know for a fact that BK and McDonald's are offenders. To both of them I say COME ON MAN!
