We were running around all over the place today and saw a Jack-in-the-Box. They closed all the Jack-in-the-Boxes in Illinois (I think) so we hadn't been to one in a long time.We wanted something quick so we decided to grab a burger. When we walked in, we saw a man waiting to place an order. We asked if he was in line and then stood behind him.
Art and I were trying to figure out what to order. This used to drive our son crazy when he was growing up. We're not quick decision makers (I guess you all know that). We were debating what to get and Art mentioned seeing something on TV about the mini sirloin burgers. Should we try it? Is it $4.49 for three of them? Should we get something else to go with it? What kind of drink should we get? What size? Is there a salad?
The man in front of us turned around and smiled at us. He handed us a coupon for free mini sirloin burgers with the purchase of a large drink. Wow! He said his wife had given him several coupons to use and he'd decided to try something else. He wanted us to try the mini-sirloin burgers.
How sweeeet!
We bought a large and a small drink and one order of three mini burgers. They were a lot smaller than this photo makes it out to be. The bigness is an optical illusion, but it was enough for us. I had one and Art ate the other two.
And that was lunch!
Postscript: Yes, it was quite tasty. What we liked best was the fresh buns.
Hey, how come you always meet those generous people and I don't? Well, maybe because we are not much into coupons in this country.
ReplyDeleteYour lunch sounds so good.
how fun...fast food is helpful on those days you don't want to cook.
ReplyDeleteAre these mini-burgers what are now called "sliders"? Anyway, I tried them at a restaurant this spring and found that one of them suited me just fine; the other two went to Ken. Eating an entire, full-sized hamburger always leaves me feeling as if my stomach is about to burst.
ReplyDeleteLucky day !Nice stranger with coupons !
ReplyDeleteThat was very nice of him. But that stranger had big ears. LOL. Good thing you weren't arguing about something serious...
ReplyDeleteFun day, good food and a kind stranger makes for a lovely day! And no one is more deserving than you and Art! Have a beautiful day, Kay!

We get lots of American TV channels here, from cities as far apart as Detroit and Seattle, so I have seen the mini-sirloin-burgers advertised.
ReplyDeleteGood for you and Art, though, one decision decided by a stranger!!
Made a very fun post for your blog, too!!

(Dick likes stories about food, and he loves coupons.)
I like it when prefect strangers interact, especially in a helpful way. Makes me feel less weird when I do it.
ReplyDeleteWere those mini burgers good?
Gotta love those random acts of kindness!!!! Don't forget to pass it on!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose burgers look small compared to your drink. But how nice of the stranger to help you make your decision. I love random acts of kindness.
ReplyDeleteSimply delightful. I'm sitting here smiling at the two of you.
ReplyDeleteburgers look delicious. I like the T-shirt too!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that he shared his coupon! I love when strangers help strangers just "because". That's what the world is supposed to be like. It feed your heart as much as it did your stomach, didn't it?
ReplyDeleteperhaps, he was Jack.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear about stories like this one. Pass it on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to do, I love little kindnesses like that! I'm glad you all had a good lunch too.
