Opus 2015-392: Breadlines

Breakfast was cheaper, but I had to use a plastic knife. 

I had planned my trip to the doctor.  It was in another town.  I had never been there before and did not know the traffic patterns or parking issues.  In order to avoid surprises I Googled a place for breakfast and went early.  I planned my usual morning routine and ordered the same bread and coffee I have every morning.  I thought a mistake had been made because it didn’t cost as much at my home-base Panera.  No, they just didn’t charge as much.

I can live with that, but when I was presented with my order it had a cheap plastic knife instead of the stainless cutlery I was used to.  I am not too good to use plastic but you have to be careful trying to spread cold, hard butter or the knife will surrender before the butter. 

I made it through the morning but it occurred to me, you get what you pay for.  Unless of course you have an EBT card and then you get what someone else pays for.
