I Call Racism



This morning, I went to Jack In The Box (which is a Southern Californian fastfood chain based out of San Diego) and ordered a Chorizo Burrito for breakfast. When I got to the drive-through window, the Mexican man who was helping me handed me my Chorizo Burrito and asked me if I wanted "Ketchup" with it.

Who the fuck would put Ketchup on Mexican Sausage? He might as well have just called me Honky or Gringo or something.

I call racism. I feel completely violated and degraded.

But was he wearing a boa?

Pastorius,

If you ordered fries with it, it would make sense.

Pastorius said...

Damien,
I didn't order fries. I only ordered the Chorizo Burrito.

Pastorius said...

MR,
No, he wasn't wearing a boa, but I swear to God, at this McDonald's I frequent, the guy who takes my money at the window is a transvestite.

He's really nice. In fact, I'd even say he's sweet.

So let me get this straight, you go to Jack In The Box for breakfast and you "frequent" McDonalds? Well, whatever floats your boat I guess.

Pastorius,

Maybe Jeppo is onto something, maybe the guy was trying to get back at you for preferring McDonalds! He didn't want another fast food restaurant to come between the two of you! Maybe it was an act of love!

I would have asked why I would want ketchup on a chorizo burrito?

Pastorius said...

Jeppo,
Yeah, and you wouldn't believe it but I'm 5-11, 175, and solid muscle. Very little fat on my body.

Note I order the burrito, which consists of sausage, eggs and a flour tortilla. When I go to McDonald's I eat a hamburger.

I don't order fries, and I don't drink sodas.

I'd prefer to go someplace healthy, like Subway, or a local Fish Taco joint, but you can't eat that stuff in your car. I'm a salesman for a living, so I live out of my car for about half my day.

Many days all I eat are raw almonds and appples.

:)

What a friggin' diet I have. It's like I'm some kind of insane squirrel that hangs at fast food restaurants once in awhile.

Rumcrook,
It was 5:30 AM and I was a bit out of it.

It occurred to me that I ought to make fun of the guy, but I didn't have my wits about me.

And, to be frank, given the hour, I was wondering if the guy didn't have his wits about him either, so I gave him a break.

However, I thought the story was funny, so I posted it.

HEY! Jeppo! How'd you get that picture from our gun club???

Pastorius said...

MR,
You Bible-clinging, gun-nut wacko.

Pastorius --

You forgot cracker

then what would really be funny would be to go back there some day and order the burrito again, and if the guy is still at the window, ask for ketchup in spanish.

oye amigo tu se olvidó mi salsa de tomate

Pastorius said...

Rumcrook,
I'll try that. That'll be hilarious.
