The system itself seems fundamentally flawed. If you have to tell the cashier what you want without being able to point to it then that is a bonkers system. What if you don't know what it's called?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-56948031717984142612010-04-12T10:03:19.745-04:002010-04-12T10:03:19.745-04:00Vine? ;-)Vine? ;-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-10657806518479671962010-04-12T10:01:48.816-04:002010-04-12T10:01:48.816-04:00Steph,

Yes, it sounds horrible, but, if we had to physically move our bodies to get our food (I mean more than flexing our fingers to dial the phone to order a pizza) we may not be in the sad shape (round) that we are in. <br />And I hope those French folks found a McDonalds or something... :) Har harKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528484098724947814noreply@blogger.com
