Dairy Queen’s royal Effing

Published by Matt Gondek April 7th, 2008 in Capitalism, advice, food, diet and dinner. 1 Comment

Spring is all up in the air and the birds are chirping. So was I. Chirping last night for a Dairy Queen Blizzard. A Blizzard is a phenominal marriage of ice cream and goodies, usually in the form of crushed up cookies or candy bars.

Kp, my two roommates, and myself made the drive to Dairy Queen last night to partake in some Blizzard noise. Little did we know, that we were stepping face first into a consumer’s worst nightmare.

On the blizzard menu, you now have the option of paying 49 cents more for what they call “extra stuff”. Extra stuff turned out to be the stuff they used to put in the blizzard.

All four of us got the blizzard, and none of us got the “extra stuff”. All four had the same problem. About halfway down, all of the sudden there wasn’t any more stuff. No more cookies.. no more candy bars.. no more sprinkles. It turns out that the “extra stuff” is the stuff that used to be included normally. Now you have to pay extra for what they just used to toss in there.

WTF Dairy Queen. Hot eats cool treats my ass.

Giant eagle is a giant bitch

I only eat a handful of things. Ask my friends. It’s true

1. Chicken
2. Tuna
3. Peas
4. Corn

I’ve been like that as long as I can remember. I eat the same thing for lunch every day. Most of the time I get groceries at Wal-Mart. It’s probably the cheapest place around here to buy good food. However, today I made a mistake.

I was in a rush, and though that I could just “pop in” to the Giant Eagle because it was closer. Then I got really mad. Every single thing in Giant Eagle was ridiculously higher priced. A bag of chicken I get a Wal Mart for $6.00 was $11.00. The 69 cent can of peas and corn at Wal Mart was going for 97 cents at Giant Eagle. I already had the cans of vegatables and tuna in my cart. When I got to the chicken, I just left my cart in the middle of the freezer aisle and walked out. Giant Eagle is an asshole. They charge way to much for their food and EVERY SINGLE person that was working there was either over 70 or had a limb that didn’t function like normal. Their cartboy was in a wheelchair. I’m not kidding. That place has got some problems.

Also. ALSO. Little cards that you swipe at a store for discounts can suck my ass. Giant Eagle has the advantage card. I don’t see the advantage of being an exclusive member of a store which is unable to staff young able bodied people to stock the 11 dollar bags of chicken. I Hate Giant Eagle.

If you ever mention around me that you’re broke and later on I find out that you do your grocery shopping at a Giant Eagle, I’m going to punch you right in the stomach for being an idiot.
