they're all a hit now

Celestina! Watch this space; odds are I'll have pre-plottage linked up for you at some point tonight. (ETA: here.)

Dear Blanchard grill people,
Hi. I'm that girl who always writes 'no pickle' next to her order. I do this because I don't want to waste your pickles or my money; I don't eat them, and the juice gets into fries and potato chips and sandwich buns like there's no tomorrow, which in my opinion leaves them... well, inedible.
Granted, you're usually pretty good about leaving the pickle out, but as I threw away both it and half my fries today, something occurred to me. What if I were allergic to pickles and got one anyway? Given the fact that food allergies have been known to kill people in extreme cases, this strikes me as a somewhat larger problem than cooking vegetarian food and meat products in the same space.
Surely if you can make the concession for the vegetarian grill spaced, you can make the concession for the pickle. You might consider polling the people who come in to find out how many of them actually want the pickle; if too many people foist them off onto friends or throw them away, is it worth including the pickle as a free side item?
Like I said, for the most part you're doing well with the lack of pickle. I just started thinking when I wound up with one today, is all.

In other news, my Phil notebook now has terrified houseplants in a corner of a page, complete with a conspicuously empty flower pot. XD
Am registered - got bloody waitlisted for bloody English 200, but I'm planning to go to that one and say "I'm an English major. Let me in."

i too have had this thought about unwanted pickles on my sandwiches. thankfully, it is a matter of taste and not allergy. :(

'S taste for me as well, and also the waste, like I said - they don't actually put the pickle on the sandwiches, it's one of those long slices in the bottom of the basket. So it's under all the fries or chips or whatnot, and ew.

Which section of English did you try to get into? And yes, if they didn't put the pickle underneath the fries and everything it wouldn't be nearly as bad. I personally like pickles, but I don't like the juice getting all over everything. Stupid grill people :/

Section... 1, I think. If memory serves there was only the one, and I had to shuffle Japanese sections to fit it in. Between that and the whole required-for-English-majors thing, I'll be at the first class going 'let me in!'

Nope, there are three. One TTh 8:35-9:50, one TTh 11-12:15, and another one that I can't remember. I'm in the TTh 11-12:15 one.

11-12:15, then, since it's the only one I knew about.

American food baffles me.

Pickles UNDER fries. And sauce. In baskets.

Um?

[minkhollow]

Maybe it's just because it's so late, but where'd the sauce enter the discussion? ::confused::
And I don't understand the pickles either, obviously.
