I haven’t written much recently about it, but I spent most of October and some of November getting healthier. I still have a ways to go, but I lost around 25 pounds. So no Wendy’s. But I’m on a quick break so…here goes!
New Oxford Wendy’s – it was your turn! I drove past and realized, I haven’t had one, it’s November, I enjoy food, it’s the first day of Buck Season, and I haven’t hunted a Quad Double in a while!
I tried to order on the app, but Wendy’s informed me they were on an outage. Be back soon. Wendy’s you never fail to disappoint…even when we lower the bar.
I pulled up to the speaker, and the lady introduced herself (I forget her name. Sandra, Sharon, Shamokin? I dunno – Sampsonite?) and asked me if I wanted a spicy chicken meal. Nope. Have you met me? You’re a burger joint. Stop trying to be Chick Fil A!
I politely declined. I spoke my order and she plugged all the usual in. Wanna make it large? Yes. For the Diet Coke, yes. Now, down to brass tacks. Can you use the 2 oz patties instead of the 4 oz? Can you use 4 instead of 2?
She answered “sure!” As if the Quad Double has appeared before in her intercom…
Not wanting to be let down or allow my opportunity to pass me by, I said: “hey, let’s make sure here. 4 patties, 4 cheese, all the goodness.”
“Yep! Lemme check if it’s gonna be more expensive.”
“Oh, I don’t care about that. Just take my money!!!”
Another lady appears at the window holding a bag. I saw a halo ya’ll. It was glowing. I guarantee it.
“Here you are darlin…” I didn’t ask her name. I bet it was Tyler. Or maybe Katelyn. She looked like a Katelyn I knew but not the same one. But all Katelyn’s are nice. Can’t confirm if Katie Lynn’s or Caitlin’s or KayLynns are, but I bet her name was Katelyn.
Folks…New Oxford … came through. I held my sandwich and stopped the truck. I needed a moment, and, I took a picture!
It was bliss!
