Would You Like Flies With That?

"B" on a report card is acceptable. "B" list actors are also acceptable. A "B" grade on the window of a restaurant is unacceptable. If I ever see it in any food related place of business, I steer clear of the joint. I've even offended my own grandparents because they "treated" us to a Chinese restaurant that had a "B" grade and I refused to eat. Trust me...if you had seen the place, you'd be lucky to keep the food you had already consumed, from being upchucked. It was nasty.

So anyway, the kids and I were coming out of the Stater Bros. parking lot, with our weekly load of groceries, when we passed their favorite place. Do you even have to ask what place it was? What is every kid's favorite place, besides Disneyland? They begged for me to drive through and grab some Happy Meals. As we argued, I noticed that there was a "B" grade in the window. I almost rear ended the car in front of me because I was in such shock. A "B" at a Mc Donald's joint? No effing way. We eat there all the time. How did I not see the sign? I was gagging at the thought of what the "B" could have been a result of. Rats? Bugs? Feces covered hands? Ugh...never mind. I'm getting ill again, just thinking about it.

We will not be eating at that Mc D's for a long time. Even if they bring the grade up...I'm still going to be skeptical. To this day I refuse to eat a hamburger at any Jack In The Box because of the botulism scandal back in 1992. I guess you could say that I hold onto grudges with an iron fist.
