The Potato Chip Bag Without Potato Chips


Have you ever bought a bag of potato chips only to find out that upon opening the bag the chip to non-chip ratio is completely out of wack? How come every bag of potato chips comes with less and less of its signature product? My only wish is that when I buy a bag I find a full allotment of chips. Unfortunately, it seems as if the dude on the assembly line got to my chips first, leaving my bag with a meager amount of the product. So not cool.


I grabbed some takeout from Noodles tonight for dinner. While ordering the pad thai I asked if they could throw in a few extra vegetables. The lady behind the cash register responded, "that is an extra 75 cents." I responded, "no thanks." Sure, 75 cents is not that much, but seriously why does everything have to cost extra? Why can't the lady just respond with a smile and say "we'd love to get that for you?"


Noodles isn't the worst though. I have always had my biggest issues with Subway. As much as I love the place for being healthy-ish fast food, I wish they would throw on one more slice of turkey to my six inch sub. Have you ever noticed that they only give you three slices of turkey for the six inch? Must be a direct order down from corporate headquarters. Only three slices, if they want more charge an extra two dollars. If that is the case, you might as well get a footlong. Am I asking for too much? I believe a turkey sandwich should be made up of, well, turkey, not mostly bread and spicy mustard.
