A few weeks ago the "computers were down" at Burger King at Tysons Galleria. This was at the beginning of lunchtime so the lines weren't too long, fortunately. They had one girl using a calculator to figure out the totals and your change. It wasn't exactly lightning fast but they were obviously determined to make the best of a bad situation.

This makes me wonder... 1) Why these people can't use a calculator, or lord forbid, simple freaking preschool mathematics to figure out our total? I understand if they need to track the orders, but it's noon - the busiest time of the year. Deal with it. 2) What kind of computers are they using that would take that long to reboot and start up? Heck, even Win95 on a slow system would be up and running in 4 minutes at most. Am I crazy... or was I just being cranky because I was hungry?? -rc ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
