Fast Food in Seattle Like it Should Be

Dick%27s.jpgExcept for a four year stint in Chicago our friend Mike has lived in Seattle his entire life. During that time he has come to some well reasoned conclusions about fast food in this city. He shared them with us, and now we will share them with you:

Dick's should have a special lane reserved specifically for people who want ice cream, and ice cream should not be available to people who are not in that lane. Right? I can order and receive "two cheese, one fry, one vanilla shake" in under a minute. People who order scoops of ice cream slow everyone way down. It only makes sense. Let's make this happen, Seattle.

Also, El Tiempo Del Taco should be open later. Like, at least until 11. As GOB would say, "Come on!"

Finally, Red Mill Burgers (vegetarians or burgerphobics should not follow this link!) should accept payment by credit card. It's OK for Dick's to be cash-only because everything is just so quick at Dick's (except for people who order ice cream) but Red Mill? Since one can end up waiting twenty minutes or more for your food to be ready, one should be given some sort of convenience concession.

In conclusion, I am right. Listen to me.

    No, you shouldn't eat at burger joints. It's rude and annoying when you hold up our meat-eating with your pathetic demands for gardenburgers and other abominations. Please contain your Subaru and your hemp pants to Bamboo Garden and various area salad bars.

    I just ate at Red Mill and I'm a vegetarian. Frankly, I'm sick of these stereotypes. Like, we can't eat at burger joints? Give me a break. I eat at Kid Valley, too.

    I'm a vegetarian and I eat at Red Mill almost weekly (Veggie Burger Deluxe, no onions, add cheddar cheese, Strawberry Milkshake, and Fries)

    If Nickels could make this happen, I'd forget all about the viaduct.

  • Morfydd

    Preach it.

  • COMTE

    Can we also make it a rule (and this goes for ANY fast-food joint) that, ONCE YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER - NO CHANGES!

    Nothing aggravates me more than having to wait in line for ten minutes, and then have the idiot directly in front of me make three changes to his order - AFTER HE'S ALREADY PLACED IT!!!
