I am fascinated by “Hi Technology”. Have been for a long time.

Who would have thought that the “Soda Dispensing Machine” would have gone Hi-Tech. That new machine is out of this world. The only thing it does not do is give free hot dogs with your soda.

Do you know why they made the spout secluded under there ? Let me tell you.

It is to stop children from putting their heads under and sucking the soda direct. Yes, I saw a kid contort his self under the old style soda fountain and suck his favorite drink. He did it expertly. Mouth up against the spout, not a drop was spilt. It may have been easier to fill a cup and suck his soda through a straw. Maybe he was being creative. Maybe his parents did not teach him what is proper. Maybe his parents did not know better.

That new machine has so many buttons on the screen that it looks like a “Smart Phone”.

The men do not usually understand how to select their favorite color drink so they end up using the “back arrow” to get to the first page where the water is located.

The women usually stand there and do it expertly. I am sure that they forget that it is not a Smart Phone and that there are other people waiting to use the machine. Some of them look like if they are still driving their oversized vehicles , one hand holding the cig , the other the smart phone , texting of course while they drive..

The women are experts at what ever they do. The men are slow.

Really ??

I do not think so. While I was waiting for my order to be filled, a man hurried pass all lines, headed over to the fancy soda machine, bypassing the cashier of course, and proceeded to fill a container with his favorite color.

The container looked like the oversized ones that people steal from that store not far from here. You know the store where they steal even large screen televisions. They are lucky that they only sell burgers and soda here or he may have taken a Large Screen TV. That thief stole a large , oversize soda, covered it and hurried out to his vehicle. Other People must have seen.

I was there to get my Bacon Cheese burger and a soda from the Dollar Menu. I always pay up front. What is your name? My name is “JOE” Most can’t spell my name and even when I spell it for them, they get it wrong.

Now I get my order on a tray. Be careful the tray may be wet or is it still dirty from the last usage.

I know from past experience that some thing has to be wrong with my Burger so I unwrap it before I leave the service counter. True enough, At first, I could not find the Bacon. A little piece hidden under a piece of lettuce. The Lettuce must have survived the garbage bin in the kitchen.

So I called the Manager. She was so busy that she did not come to see what my complaint was about. She talked from a remote point and said that it should be a strip broken in half. Now I began to understand why I could not find the Bacon. Then I realized that I must have got the smaller half of the strip. Is that possible ?

They made me a new burger which had two half strips in it.

As I tried to digest this Burger, I wondered if the time is near when they will put a strip of paper in the Burger which will read “The bacon was here” I hope they do not forget to add the Lottery numbers and my fortune.

THEN I WOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION……..

WHERE’S THE BACON?????

This is about the children who are not getting the attention and guidance they need to equip them as they mature. To make them better humans.

It is about the attitudes of mature people who steal and exhibit their bad behavior even as the children observe. Yes, children see, observe, and remember more than we think.

It is about the greed of the “people up there” you know, Corporate America who control even a “slice of Bacon” in order to satisfy their fat pockets.

It is about “lack of proper training” at all levels especially in the Fast Food Joints.

It is about the bad attitudes and lack of care and attention which exist in most of the services.

Lack of regard of people for people.

Not to neglect a major one, ” the bad behavior of people using the road ways” . Texting, talking on their smart phones while they drive their gas consuming, oversized vehicles, as if they think that the phone is so smart that it will prevent them from creating an accident.
