“I don’t expect a lot from fast food restaurants in general especially late at night, so yeah, the guy who took my order could have been a little more friendly and not had such a “My life sucks” attitude, but whatever. The real problem was that I was told the machine that makes the frappes (the only reason for my visit) was broken and the same for the smoothie machine which is apparently the same machine? Ew. Then after a long wait for what is supposed to be “fast” food I pulled up only to see a smoothie sitting there waiting for I assume the customer behind me. Mr. “I hate my life” didn’t even acknowledge the smoothie that was blatantly visible or apologize for the machine not working or anything. I wasn’t a fan of BK before and I’m definitely not now. Actually, now I’m actively against BK and will make sure all of my friends and family know not to ever visit one of your establishments. You might want to get your drive thru employees some therapy or something though. Just a tip.”

wait, what happened?
I went to BK to try their new frappes because it’s coffee and that means I have to have it. It should be noted I don’t really like fast food and rarely eat it, but back to the story. I ordered a burger and a caramel frappe and was then told their machine was broken. Being the generally nice person I am I asked if I could then get a strawberry banana smoothie because why the hell not. No. The machine was broken. Okay. Whatever, I’ll eat the shitty BK food and just accept that the universe hates me. So, then I sit in the drive-thru line for way longer than appropriate for fast food and finally pull up only to see a fucking smoothie sitting there ready to go. Broken machine? BROKEN MACHINE!? FUCK BURGER KING.
Moral of the ridiculously long,unnecessary story: DO NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF ME AND MY COFFEE. The end.
This is now an anti-Burger King blog.
Just so you’re aware.
After the fuckery that is Burger King happened I made a trip to my mecca.
- Starbucks Dude: *Hands Kiley her trenta iced coffee* So, I'm guessing you have a paper to write tonight?
- Me: Nope, I just really like coffee.
- Dude: Oh, well you probably wont be sleeping anytime soon though.
- Me: Nah, I'll be fine. I'm an addict. It relaxes me.
- Dude: That's bizzare.
- Me: I'm sorry?

“One of the two major parties, the Republican Party, has become an insurgent outlier — ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”

The authors of the newly released book, It’s Even Worse Than It Looks, talked to NPR about the ideological extremism of the modern Republican Party and how it has led to a political climate more dysfunctional than ever before.
“I don’t believe in a golden mean; I don’t believe you find policy wisdom between two polar points. I don’t dismiss that possibility, but I look at the platform that’s so ideologically based, that’s so dismissive of facts, of evidence, of science, and it’s frankly hard to take seriously.”
“While there isn’t an agreement between the U.S. and Israel on how much time, there is an agreement that there is some time to give diplomacy a chance. So, I think right now you have a focus on the negotiations. It doesn’t mean the threat of using force goes away, but it lies behind the diplomacy.”
