The other day I stopped by McDonald’s late at night, this is probably the first time this has happened to me in the million and millions of burgers I have been served there. So here it goes…

I walk in and there are only three people working, I can see one girl behind the grill just standing and another girl running to the back, then back to the front, there was another customer ahead of me and another customer waiting for food off to my right. The third employee was feverishly re-supplying the ketchup and napkins. The girl came up to the counter where the guy in front of me was and just stood there not saying anything, she then ran back again to the back. I wasn’t sure what was really going on. When she came back up this time she had the order for the guy off to my right, then disappeared somewhere in the back. After a few moments here she comes again and gives the guy in front of me his food. I step up, but, before she takes my order she runs over to the fryer and presses a few buttons. This whole time I can see the other girl at the grill just standing there and now the third employee is beginning to sweep the floor.

I order a sandwich, the girl runs to the back again and a few minutes comes back to tell me the price, I hand her my check card, and she says “Cash only”, I’m like “What, cash only??” She says “Yeah, the computers are down”.  (I’m thinking this might have been something you should have started with) anyway, I reach in and give her cash and she goes to the back and after about 5 minutes brings me change. Now, she tells the other girl behind the grill the order and she goes to the back again and brings out a broom and begins sweeping behind the counter, then after about 5 more minutes go by and the girl behind the grill asks the girl, “What was that order?” She drops the broom on the floor and tells her, then she goes to the fryer and is working with the potatoes, when the food is up she grabs the food (while kicking the broom laying on the floor) and hands it to me.

Needless to say this was the first time in 35+ years I’ve been to McDonalds, that the crew was so discombobulated, and out of the three of them I think the guy cleaning the floors should get a big-time promotion and the two other girls should get a big pink slip!

 

You can’t put the bullet back in the gun, or at least this time I won’t have to learn a foreign language

I’m not usually one to believe in conspiracy theories, but, this time you might have to ask yourself “if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, is it a duck?” I listened to about 5 minutes last night of Michael Savage, Michael was going on about how the administration may be using (planning) this whole TSA shooting event to not only end up arming the TSA, but, to eventually use them as a government police agency.

I’ve been thinking about this scenario off and on all day, and maybe there is some truth to this. Over the past year I’ve heard about the Homeland Security Agency buying 750 million rounds of ammunition (See HSA massive ammo buys).

What? 750 Million! If you have a home protection firearm, and you’ve recently went to buy ammunition you’ve noticed the shortages since this president has taken office. Remember the movie “V for Vendetta” about a totalitarian government elected under the guise of several terrorist acts, creates a secret police  that can act as judge without due process (see imdb: V for Vendetta (2005) ).

Plus, with the recent Edward Snowden leaks how do we really know what to trust? Over the past 10 years I’ve seen us all loose freedoms. This country was founded on Freedom, yet we sit back and allow ourselves to remove a freedom from one person, based on another, or one group based on another.

We obviously are short sighted, remember this;

“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.” -Martin Niemöller

We had the greatest generation (my father fought in WWII), and it appears now we have the lost generation (I see 35 year olds not working and living off every government subsidy along with their parents) how can a child learn a work ethic if the parents are showing them how easy it is to get money, food, housing, and even a cell phone.

You have a choice where you want to go out and eat or drink, yet you demand that the business owner not allow smoking (a practice that is NOT illegal), haven’t you taken his rights away? You do something stupid and then litigate, causing higher costs for everyone. All in the name of “public safety”. Then you want attention from “Reality TV” and push your body to absolute limits. Does any of this seem absurd to anyone else?

This entire subject is not left or right, conservative or liberal, republican or democrat. It is plain American, and when will we wake up and realize that we are our brother’s keeper and watching out for him will watch out for us.

NSA Screen or FBI Screen and you’re locked out of the computer

Well the computer gremlins have been up to it again. This time it’s Robbery-ware. What happens is after you open an attachment from an email your computer will popup a message that you’ve been tagged by the NSA or FBI and have 48 hours to pay $300.00 or your computer contents will be forwarded to the agency and prosecution will begin.

The moral of the story is, don’t open attachments unless you are expecting something. Even if it’s from someone you know. These guys have gotten more and more creative to trick you into infecting your own computer and at innocently infecting others.

I removed one of these type of infections today and although it’s not as difficult to remove as some of these virus scan / purchase (should be called virus-scam) malware. I would write specific details but I’m not so sure it places itself in the same place each time. In this case it was in a hidden folder where the Google toolbar was installed. If I have more details I’ll update this post. By the way I have a flat $135.00 computer clean up fee which includes virus removal and optimizing your system and depending on your location pick up and delivery are free.
