I wonder where that is, it's not around here.

For some reason a few have gotten rid of their ketchup stations and are back to packets.  I can't see how that saves money.  Packets are really expensive compared to bulk ketchup.  A long time ago I worked for a restaurant and I saw the delivery invoices with prices.

I wonder if Wendy's is going to go the same way after installing all those fancy machines.  If I want a small hamburger, I prefer Wendy's anyway.

McDonalds getting rid of ketchup stations and soda stations are basically going against what their customers want.  If other places do this they are putting themselves at a disadvantage.  Their only real saving grace is children really love McNuggets.  But even that is offset with getting rid of all those playpens.

You sure think about children a lot for a single man in his late 40s or early 50s.
