Oh, I hope the weather blows itself out, right now behind well sealed and well-made structures, the wind could send Dorthy and Todo to Oz and then Hawaii and then California before being zipped back to Oklahoma at break neck speed.
Hmph, why do I put myself on high alert and drive like a member of Fast and the Furious (without the speed!) To brave these freakishly fast winds and onslaught of rain drops like honey being poured out of its jar and onto your windshield?
Because I had an important interview of my life! And when something important happens to you good or bad the gentle (or sometimes unconsciously violent) mastication of a real $6.00 burger with crispy and steaming French Fries and milkshake of the Strawberry nature. Allows the feelings similar to writing to Santa for a special toy and on Xmas day, you get three of the same toy from you siblings, grandparents, and Santa
This is how I felt after I traveled through San Francisco's version of torrential rain from my interview to This Carl's Jr.
Here's why this place will be my Carl's Jr, three cars pull in front of me because when I am hungry I love how a minimum of three others feel the call from the stomach to the brain to quit loli-gagging, and get the loli-gagging on out of here and FInD me food!
Maybe it's just me that thinks this, anyway, I pull into wait grab my phone to play Brawl Stars (a game usually takes less then 3 mins, but I anticipated in this weather I could play five games before I move to announce my order). Well it was only 2 games, and I know this because I looked up to realize the cars in front of me have gotten their order, paid, recurved their order and left leaving the guy that was in front of me paying at the window.
Uhhhh.... whoa!
I quickly realized this dropped my phone where my feet was in the process get to the order box and was greeted like this while chaos was being ensued not just outside the car but inside my car too. The kind lady said, "welcome to Carl JR's and Green Burrito, how may I help you today?" In a voice that may me feel like I was in San Diego and the sun was shinning, pretty people in their beach wear walking the streets.
What the...?! This person is amazing calm and welcoming San Francisco's downpour and wind warning weather.
It gets better.
I order and pull up, SHE times when I roll down my window and steps back and smiles but in a louder then normal voice but still comforting, repeats my order, tells me the price, and apologizes for the method of her being far away from the window in such a way that she reminded me of my sweet and from The Philippines Islands Grandma (rest in peace) understands English but is more fluent in another language, but it doesn't stop her from making you feel comfortable and the tonal quality actually has an alluring ring to it. I could not help but smile. That's rare!
With the weather, me dropping my phone on the wet floor mat, my anticipated wait time being grossly miscalculated, the perfect professional greeting with a touch of nostalgic comforts had me feeling I will leave a great review even if she messes up my order.
She didn't by the way, and whomever she was teamed up with that night, sweet delicious Iron Chef it was good (and I still had to drive it home and then unload and change before I actually sat down to eat it, it was gooooood cold, my friends)
This place knows what they are doing, and you do not find Carl JR's in too many places where I live, so, this is where I will come hoping to find another blessing from above if I want a milk shake with real ice cream. read more
