On the way home from the Scrapper’s game last night, Mr. Boy and I stopped at Wendy’s for takeout suppers. When we left he said he’d decided to rate the food a hundred percent, but the service just twenty percent. His second grade class is doing the light fantastic over the business economy this week, which is where he got the idea. The problem with Wendy’s is the surly why-should-we-help-you attitudes of many of the Mexican employees, few of whom speak any English. Even the ones who do, like the cashiers, have to hear orders repeated two or three times before they can figure out which buttons to push. It’s rather amazing. One immigration raid and our Wendy’s will have to shut down for a week. At least they’re working, instead of shooting up the joint. But even if they were I’m not sure the liberal daily, which has long promoted illegal immigration from Mexico, would tell us about it.
