Slog - Comments on What's for Lunch http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/whats_for_lunch_1 my boss keeps calling me for "important" things. apparently, he doesn't know i'm supposed to be slogging today, not, you know, working. but i'm on my lunch break now, so i finally get to do what i want. and i'll start out by posting what i'm having for lunch: while i don't necessary think QFC really deserves the Q any longer, i still like it better than safeway. being a block from my place is rather convenient, as well. (trader joe's and madison market are for weekend shopping trips.) but every year they put these banquet macaroni and cheese dinners...

If I were a cheese-eater I would be all over that. Actually, even if one didn't eat the mac and cheese it would still be a hell of a deal - how does that work?

Now I want mac & cheese. And pudding.

well, with banquet, you get less than what you pay for. unless you're talking about diarrhea.

I wonder what other things they're missunderstanding in life.

but everyday we have to be nice to people at work we don't want to be nice to, and do things we don't want to do (well, most of us!). so it's not altogether surprising that comments with their genesis in that environment would tend to be a bit anger and/or bitter.

@2 i have no clue how they do it. but i've got a couple of coupons now. i'd eat your cheese for you, but i'd hate to make you even buy a cheese product. so, you can just have one or two of my coupons if you want. i consider them free.

@3 yeah, i didn't even think of that.

@4 no, i didn't want to think of that.

I remember back in the pre-Kroger days when QFC really did deserve the Q! Then I moved to Minnesota and back and QFC had gone to shit.
