Have you ever ran through brief videos in a social media platform? If you have, then you probably have also seen memes. Some of my favorite ones are those that are titled "He had one Job" or something similar. For instance, the meme shows a set of stairs that were built and lead to a wall, instead to a proper floor opening. I think one time I imagined a potential meme in line with this where the picture shows ice-cream cones without their critical holes. And today I think I caught one of these moments in the wild at this place.
As the pictures I attached show there are three steps to ordering at On+On. The first step is to "Chose your Portion." In simpler terms, this is where you select the size you which to indulge, either regular or mini. I think most people should go for Regular. Like most people will buy a regular shirt or regular skirt, and others, for a specific reason, select a mini. The next step is add protein. Meaning that from choosing your size you chose your protein, either chicken, salmon, shrimp and pork meatball, with the list continuing to some other options. Then the third step is to add the base either brown rice, or white rice, or salad, kimchi rice or buckwheat noodles or a mix, of your preference. Step 2 and 3 are clearly wrogn. If you were to literally follow the steps you would chose 1) size, then chicken (for example, then put rice on top. Or maybe I am the one who is wrong, and that is the appropriate place to put rice or needles, atop of the chicken like a blanket instead of resting the chicken on the rice like a bed. Do the other places in this chain make this mistake?
I went today with my phone to capture the small absurdity that I am hoping is meme worthy. I also met Ali today, a server from the join. I confirmed that her name was Ali, like Alissa, not like Alley, as in bowling, crime, or bubble gum. As I was ordering, I gave gestures and points before I said words. I was slightly impressed because she understood my points clearly and knew that when I tapped the glasses with two fingers, I wanted the sweet potatoes and the brussel sprouts. When I tapped the glass, I knew she wanted the peanut sauce. I did not mean to write this section to highlight my rude mime like behavior, but rather that she had developed an intuitive nature to finger points. She explained that a customer comes in, on the regular basis and communicates with her hands, only. She learned to attuned her serving to her language. Another example of how work spaces can be classrooms without chalk or professors.
I am required to make the following obligatory observation: this place is the Korean relative of Chipotle I love this place. I wish there was one closer to my home. But then I may not love it as much. You know cause having to travel a bit for the treat keeps it a treat, having it too nearby might make me not appreciate its luster. You know how the story goes, novelty wear offs. read more
