OUI,OUI, Ronnie!!.....Trampdown log

    A few times a week I go to a McDonald's on Orange Ave, here in Orlando.  It's a 'special' Mac's.  It has the illustrious title of 'Bistro".  McDonald's Bistro....Sounds so European...Ahhhh, no better feeling than drinking coffee in my Fau-Pax European McDonald's....it is truly a very special moment in my existence....  "OUI,OUI, Ronnie", that is the title of the French edition.....Hobo heaven comes cheap for me this morning.  It's a cigarette and "Senior cup of coffee".24 hrs McDonald's, What a country.  The first time I finished with my food I walked up to the trashcan and pushed it open and the damn thing said 'thank you!"...

     I stopped in mid-movement and gave it a "doglook", and thought , wow, even the trashcan talks, or I could be having a really good flashback and I am misinterpreting the whole episode........But, no, that trashcan said "thank you."  After my dog-observation I went and sat down.  {Ah-Ha moment}...Time for a experiment, yeah, a Field test you could say.  Now, I'll just finish my coffee and begin my experiment.  This could prove to be a good day after all..

     True:, The trash can said 'thank you", now its time to approach the bi-ped's and see what I come up with.  I approach the counter and order something to eat and another coffee.  Keeping at all times a friendly eye contact posture and look.  But nothing, she was friendly in voice, and smiled, but no  "thank you"...hummm, Something wrong here..On the way to my table I grab some sugar and move to the trash can and throw my coffee top inside and I'll be damned, this one, on this side of the room also answered "thank you"...Two of them!!, This is going to make it much harder to vote on employee of the month....What is even going to be harder is when I ask the girl at the counter if I am aloud to also vote for employee of the month, and how do I nominate the one trashcan that I have picked out?...

     This is truly a dilemma.  I observed One girl, who seems to have a aura of compassion around her and I approach.. Being homeless, I have those days when money has been a little tighter than normal and your appearance is the first thing that goes. You don't have any clean clothes to wear, so you pick from your "laundry bag" your best dirty clothes. And that was where I was at this time.  Kind of "in-between"...lol, So after I asked her about the "employee of the month and if I could vote , and that I nominate the trash can on the right.  She just stared at me for a minute. They must have a "panic button" in Mac's, because her hand slipped just below the counter and like magic, two managers and a maintenance man showed up!... Hmmm..  Like I've said, depending on how you look, the reaction of others will dictate this. You could be greeted with a smile, a laugh,some anger,or indifference.....I was handed a "TRESPASS WARNING"......lol    Oh well, back to Subways!!!!
