How to eat well without paying, "Follow the supply line". And in Washington DC no less!!!

 

A man broke into a Five Guys restaurant in Washington, D.C., early Friday not to steal money but to grab a bite to eat. The burglar followed a delivery man into the restaurant and waited until he left before going inside, according to the Metropolitan Police Department.

Once inside, the man treated himself to a fountain beverage before cooking what appeared to be a run-of-the-mill cheeseburger. He stole a bottled water before leaving.

Some cravings just can't be ignored.

COON RAPIDS, Minn. (AP) — A prank caller tricked workers at a Minnesota Burger King into smashing the windows of the restaurant to keep it from exploding, police said Saturday, mirroring similar deceptions at Burger Kings and other fast-food restaurants in other states in recent months.

Police said employees at the restaurant in the Minneapolis suburb of Coon Rapids got the call Friday night from someone claiming to be with the fire department. The caller said the restaurant could explode, so they needed to relieve the pressure. The manager and other employees believed the caller and smashed all the windows on the ground floor.

"Officers arrived and found that the manager and employees of the Burger King were smashing out the windows," Sgt. Rick Boone told the Star Tribune. "The manager explained they'd received a phone call from a male who identified himself as a fireman who said there were dangerous levels of gas in the building and they had to break out all the windows to keep the building from blowing up".

 Boone said there was no immediate cost estimate for the damage. The restaurant was boarded up Saturday, and investigators were trying to identify the caller.

Very funny, and these people think minimum wage should be $15.

I have never eaten at one, but I'm told Five Guys is indeed addicting.  Personally, I'm addicted to Whataburger (with jalapenos).  Certainly not the best hamburgers I've ever had, but there's just something about them.  Good thing, since they're hard to find outside Texas and surrounding states.  But I don't think I'd break into one to get a fix, kind of has to be made by someone else to make my mouth water.  We used to take a spin once a month or so in the 'ol D24 from Carlsbad to Roswell, NM to get one after they opened a Whataburger up in Roswell.

I've heard them called "pile drivers"!

A couple weeks ago, a pharmacist was explaining to me that constipation could be a side effect of that drug. He suggested some OTC med and I asked if prunes would do the same, he agreed. There were several pharmacists behind the counter, all young, several Asians, all stoic. I then said that in the '50's prunes were called "pile drivers!" Those stoics broke into laughter, evidently new information to them.

I love 5 Guys, esp. the fires!  My closest is a 30 minute drive so I'm not there too much.  Rumour has it one is coming to town.  If that is the case, BK may never see me again!

Co-worker told me that, if we got that call, we would just leave and then throw a lit match through the door on our ways out.  For all the time these kids spend on Facebook, you would think they would have seen that already.  Short memories and shorter attention spans.
