Friendly's logic of laziness

I often have breakfast at the nearby Friendly's restaurant.

    I often order their " egg melt " special. With the coffee it usually

    costs me $3.83.

                Lately I'm watching my fat intake. So I ordered the

    breakfast melt  " without the bacon ". I noticed right away that

    there was no change in the bill.

              I do not like to be a stinker in a restaurant. But neither

    will I be a sap. I questioned the legitimacy of the bill. I was

    told that the  cash register  could only recognize " breakfast melt ".

           Stupidly the kid told me : " There is no button to push " for

    my order.

              A little disgusted with the mental laziness, I did not

    leave a tip. And then matter was settled fairly.


          " Friendly's " is also not friendly enough to ban smoking in

    the restaurant.

                   Things could be worse for me, I suppose. I could be

    a  Kosovo refugee . Or a Republican in Providence.
