What can I tell you about myself that you don't already know?

Microsoft Word decided to stop auto-underlining misspelled things the other day.
Consequently, I was sending out things with 'Setpember' and 'threshhold' written on them.
It's like Word was trying to embarrass me. Like Mike tried to do at Steak and Shake yesterday when I had something black and terrible stuck in my teeth and he didn't inform me until after we had already ordered in front of our waitress whose name tag read "That'sSoRaven".

Give Mike so, so much crap on my behalf for this, please.

So they opened up a Steak and Shake in Pooler which, like any new Steak and Shake anywhere ever, was so crowded and noisy you couldn't hear a pin drop.

In the waiting area they had a sign that said, "Questions? Comments? We'd love to hear from you! Call 1-877-someothernumbers!"
And I was like, "I should call right now and tell them that they need to open another Steak and Shake right beside this one."
Mike was like, "Yeah, they didn't do their market research for this place."
At the very least, they could have made a bigger parking lot with two entrances/exits. More on that later.

So we waited to get a table, which was actually just a couple of bar stools.

And I looked up and could have sworn that Obama was cooking burgers in a paper hat. I felt a tiny bit more respect for a president who's willing to work on the shop floor. But then I realized that it wasn't Obama and just a guy that looked a lot like him.
(If he had bigger ears, it would've been spit'n'image, I promise.)

Then we waited to get food. And then we tried to leave except that we can't leave because the drive through line is wrapped like twice around the building. So we wait and wait and wait in this stupid car line just to get out of the place and then we finally left.

From the time we left the house to the time we got home, it was 2.5 hours.
Was it worth it? Probably not.
It's like that time I waited 2.5 hours in the line for Goliath at Six Flags.
It was good, but...not worth the wait.

And just like new roller coasters, the novelty will wear off eventually and the lines will become shorter.
And then when your profit starts to dip below the profits of your food stalls, you have to either lower your price of the ride, advertise, or add some cool feature like covered cars so people will ride it in the rain.

Oh- were we still talking about Steak and Shake? I automatically switched over to roller coasters since the two are so similar.

I've been working a lot, so my brain is probably a pancake.
