When I traveled to get to an emergency case at the Plattekill Service Area today, when I got there and realized I didn't eat serious food for quite some time (I didn't have since dinner-time yesterday), I knew I needed something. I first looked through the Starbucks, but when I turned out and found nothing really edible that would have sufficed for "brain food", I had to turn to looking for something else. I saw Roy Rogers (and almost bought there), but when I saw no workers working there nor any line, when I realized I could be served with more choices quicker, I went with the quickest-way and headed to your Nathan's booth instead.
I ordered two hotdogs and a soda, and unlike most Nathan's I've eaten at, the whole order came to 10.79. That's a rip-off. Although I got a good hotdog like others, the total price was nowhere in line with most Nathan's. The employee just handed me the cup and never told me at first where the soda machine was. I looked to my left as I gave her the card, but never looked in back of me to my right (until much later). Couldn't she have said: "You can find the soda machines to your right over there" and that would have sufficed?
After looking for a few minutes to find this machine, it took me a while. I tried the Sprite, and thank god I taste-tested what I ordered before moving on. The Sprite was not at the right consistency of spritzer to flavoring (100% seltzer and 0% flavoring), so I moved onto Root beer which I found to be a little on the flat side, but tasted okay otherwise. I'll settle for taste and not so much carbonation in this case only.
I came back after I grabbed a lid, and by that time my hot dogs had come out and were already boxed up and ready to be taken to a table and eaten. I had to talk with my mom a second or two first, then off to the tables near the Roy Rogers to be eaten. This idea wasn't such a good idea today, apparently. However, I was thinking the right things at first, or so I thought. read more
