So, I was out running errands and was on the way home when I decided to stop by the Taco Bell by my house. It is a new Taco Bell, where they rebuilt the store and moved it across the street from the previous location. I have only been to the new location two times…and have had a bad experience each time.

The first time I went with my wife and we both ordered food. My order had one wrong item and one item missing. I went up to the counter to resolve the problem and they handed me the correct items. Once I got back to the table, I realized one of the items was still not the right one. At this point I didn’t bother to go back, we just finished our meal.

Today, I went inside again and placed my order. There was one woman in front of me ad a couple of people in the drive-thru lane. The woman in front of me placed her order, then I placed my order. From the time of my order, it was ten minutes until my food was ready.

So, I finally made it to the new Sprinkles Cupcakes store and was rather unimpressed. Not that I want to be one of the bandwagon “I hate Sprinkles….Starbucks…etc.”, but those were the worst cupcakes I have ever had. I wanted to surprise my wife (as she had noticed the store earlier in the week). So I purchased one Vanilla Milk Chocolate and one Red Velvet. Other than the three inches of frosting on each, I could not tell the difference from either one. They both tasted like old cornbread and were dry and….just gross. Guess that is a good thing at $3.25 a pop!

During lunch today, I was sitting in Kyoto Bowl, when a woman and 2 young boys sat down at the table behind me. The boys had to be around 8 or 9 years old each. They immediately tore into their fortune cookies upon arrival at the table. The first boy opened his, and his mother asked what his fortune was. He replied, “Knowledge is your key to…./edit/…..and a major asset”. He then asked what ‘asset’ meant to the woman at the table. She replied that it was something you owned, something good. She then asked the other boy what his fortune said. He opened his cookie, and promptly replied like he was reading the fortune, “Timothy is an asshole”.
