Wendy's Owes Me A Penny!!!!

If you must know why I didn't blog today (now yesterday), it's that a Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe, with value menu fries and coke (actually CoCaCola, clarifying for fellow Texans that also refer to all soft drinks or "pop" as "coke") costs $2.97, and adding an 20tax makes it cost $3.21 rounding up from the $3.207 it actually is, NOT $3.22. I was so outraged and depresse by my shafting, I could not blog.

The actual reason is that I got called into work while preparing for my run today, so at around 4:40pm I drove from DeSoto to Carrolton,TX in HORRID Dallas traffic (I-35E and Dallas North Tollway are not fun places to be during Rush Hour; everyone drives like Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker having a fight), to arrive at 5:45pm to help a fellow PA assemble a giant grill until 7pm or so, then spent until 12:45am assembling two smokers and a smaller grill myself.

Later today, which I will dub "tomorrow," as I plan on sleeping at some point, I will hopefully have a blog with two games discussed, music for both Mix "Monday" and Alternative Tuesday (I'm especially excited for those, I think I have a few you guys haven't heard before for both), and of course your daily Bing Image Mad Libz.

So it is true: these corrupt fast-food chains really do squeeze every penny out of you that they can!

Yeah, and I should be mad at you about it, but damn the colonel's chicken is delicious.

Maybe we could meet up some time.

I once took a calculator to the local convenience store and "did the math" for them. I got my penny back. It wasn't so much that I needed that penny as it was the principle of the whole thing.

I'm not going back for my penny, my outrage was pretty much fake. lol That's cool you got yours back, though. How'd they take it?

03/19/2013 at 10:06 AM

They were annoyed. Very annoyed. I didn't order food from them for the next several months because of how annoyed they were.

You'd love it up here in Canada. We've abolished the penny. You would've paid $3.20!

03/19/2013 at 10:16 AM

Of course you did, you loons... with your loonies!

I'm just kidding, in all honesty, I wouldn't miss it if we abolished it here. I would want Abe Lincoln's mug on another form of currency if we did it, though.

Those freak'n bastards at Wendy's! They will pay.

03/19/2013 at 10:17 AM

Nah, I just will. It's a penny, plus their value menu is actually pretty decent, in my opinion. lol

03/19/2013 at 10:47 AM

I can't lie...their value is pretty good. I often get two Jr. Bacon cheese burgers and a free Jr. Frosty thanks that keychain they have. Yum Yum!

Sounds delicious. Pretty much, if I'm hungry and don't want to spend money, I go to Wendy's.

yeah I missed my blog too. Don't worry about it!

03/19/2013 at 10:19 AM

Trust me, I'm not. Any excuse to get out of the house, I take. Now if only work and my friends could all live less than thirty minutes to three hours away from me, I'd be in business.

Yup, like Surf said, no pennies up here, whatup... but then, if you're closer to the nearest nickel, well, you could end up paying more. But ehh.

03/19/2013 at 10:23 AM

Yeah, eh.

My brother always throws pennies out the car window lol. They are pretty much worthless.

03/19/2013 at 11:52 AM

I keep 'em, just in case. lol

I'm still working on my 9/10's of a penny coin. Those gas station fools don't deserve my Lincoln's!

03/19/2013 at 08:30 PM

Ha, nice!

Have you ever heard of the Animaniacs movie where Wakko sets out to find a haypenny? I've only seen the first part, but it looked funny.

No, but I used to really like that show. I saw a season 1 dvd set at Walmart today. =-)
