This evening while watching Saints/Vikings game on the "lobotomy box" a commercial for Burger King aired. You can get a BK something or other burger for a dollar. This afternoon I was in Starbucks where for the same dollar you can get a ripe banana and ten cents change. Who has more trouble sleeping at night, the execs at Burger King or Starbucks?

Do I have to order them with those weird names they have for coffee sizes? That would probably be a deterrent.

Me: "I'd like a coffee, a large or bucket size."
Barista:"A Venti?"
Me "A what? Just the biggest coffee you have."
Barista: "Its called a Venti."
Me: "Is it the largest coffee you serve?"
Barista: "Yes"
Me: "Then its a large coffee."
We had a big thing in the UK like that a while back. Not so much to do with names but with measurements as the EU are getting more and more anal as time goes by. They come out with the most idiotic rules just becasue they can, such as a shop shouldn't sell a banana unless its curve measures so many degrees. I remember a butcher being threatened with court because he wouldn't change his signs from the British pounds and ounces to the Euro kilograms. I even remember one barmaid who refused to serve my father unless he said large beer and not pint. I think its so stupid; it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck but you'll say waterfowl or we'll sue!
