Chickfila chicken strips, waffle fries and a ton of sauce! (Chickfila sauce, honey mustard, and polynesian!)

Hannah, the same thing happened to me last week. A $75 tab and I was handed $80. I simply returned the change to the table and said thanks again, hoping they would think I just didn't hear when they said, "Keep the change." This worked fine for me, as I did not have to ask, did not have to be rude, and ended up with a more respectable $12 tip.

I don't think what you did was wrong, and I can't stomach reading all of these comments blasting you for being inappropriate. I have found it is better for my blood pressure to stay away from reading opinions of my job from others. We work in an industry that garners much discussion on the internet, both here and on countless other websites. I am sure that people that have no ties to the service industry would not want their work practices as severely scrutinized.

I want a cheeseburger so badly!

I am not a religious person, and neither is anyone else I know that gives up something for Lent. The idea of giving up something for forty days is much more appealing than making a New Year's resolution, which I never do. This year I am giving up burgers, as well as all fast food. (Burgers will be most difficult, because the restaurant in which I work makes fabulous medium rare burgers covered in manchego...yum.) It will be a difficult forty days, but I plan on rewarding myself at Flip when my time is up, so it won't be all bad.

Once, as I was mixing together batter for a devil's food cake, I dropped the entire bowl onto the floor. Batter flew everywhere, covering my pants, my feet, the floor, the cabinets...some even made it to the ceiling. A disaster in itself, the kicker was when my dog came running into the kitchen. He tried to lick up the mess, so I went to grab him up...I slipped, of course, and ended up lying in the batter, dog held up in the air. It took hours to clean everything, including me and the dog.

I don't eat mayo plain, and I don't think that is what this survey is implying. When I am dieting, I choose to have mayo on my turkey/tortilla rolls instead of having cheese and/or dessert. (I have low-fat Duke's mayo at home, which is not as good as regular mayo, but nowhere close to the grossness of Miracle Whip.) Sometimes I will just use Laughing Cow cheese on sandwiches instead of mayo or regular cheese. It helps the sandwich from being dry and gives the flavor of swiss, for fewer fat grams and calories than just a slice of cheese.

I love all cuts, but nothing beats a simply done medium rare porterhouse.

I just had an amazing bacon cheeseburger. Maybe it is a little boring, but when it is perfectly medium rare, with cheddar melting over the bacon, it really is a hard lunch to beat.

horseradish mustard, manchego cheese, tomato, and lettuce, on sourdough.

I need this book so I can learn the tips!

They were called Burger Bundles.originally, then it was changed to Burger Buddies. (They also had Chicken Bundles and Breakfast Buddies.)

Thanks, Wikipedia!

I am still amazed that they named a product "muffin tops." I could not eat one without the image of an overweight belly in too-tight jeans floating through my head...
