Burger King #8916 - Rocky Mount, NC Review

If the Burger King cashier had only acknowledged my existence at the drive-thru intercom, then I wouldn't be here writing this review.  I would have been able to surprise my wife with one of Burger King's new items, a slice of Butterfinger pie!  My kids would have been able to try cheesy tater tots--the picture on the menu board looked so hot and cheesy and delicious!

But, no.  It was not to be.

I had purposely driven an extra distance, passing the McDonald's we normally choose, to have some signature BK lipid-laced burger bombs...hmmm

I'm sure only three or four minutes lapsed since I approached the intercom.  The driver in front of me had just ordered.  I saw her lips moving.  She showed no discontent.  She had someone talk to her. 

Not for me.  Maybe they heard my loud music (which I turned off to make sure I would hear the speaker) and decided they didn't want to cater to me.

Normally, a voice interrupts my menu surfing when I pull up to the intercoms of fast food joints.

 In the time it took to wait for someone to simply say something, I smoked a full 100s cigarette.  After giving up, I went to Wendy's one-half mile away, ordered, paid, and received our food in less time than I had waited in the Burger King line for someone to speak.

In the scope of life, this was just short moment in an unimportant trip to a fast food restaurant to appease my children and to give my wife a break from two straight weeks of standing in front of a hot stove in the humid month of August...OK, that reminds me why my nostrils flared over such a minor evet in the twenty-first century. 

For carnivores sake, I was ready to order!

And no one answered.
