Wow, did I just see that?: McDonald's

I'm back once again. Sorry about the lack of posts, school got in the way. But with finals coming to a close tomorrow, I now have some free time.

Today I went to a McDonald's for the first time in about 6 or 7 years. I had "sworn off" McDonald's long before Supersize Me came out, but not for moral reasons, or for health reasons (though that was part of it). I stopped eating there because it didn't taste good. Yes, it's been a long time since I ate something from there, but today I decided to end my one sided feud, boycott, whatever I should call it. I bought a chicken sandwich, which was average, filling, not too horrible. The fries were good, that's always been their best merit to be honest. But the topic of this post is something that I want to add in as a feature of sorts to the blog: A new section called "Wow, did I just see that?".

I find certain people to be interesting or at least amusing, especially in places similar to those I've highlighted (K-Mart, The Bins, etc.). A lot of times, I see things that are either striking or absurd in some way. I saw something today in my brief time in the McDonald's establishment that was interesting enough to write about. A bedraggled mother in sweats with her two kids, who I had seen outside at the Redbox $1 DVD rental machine standing in line, snapping at her kids that "We're not getting Happy Meals today."

I was wondering just what the big picture is behind this. What other places the people frequent, things like that. Same thing goes for grocery stores, malls, things like that. I never think too deeply, but it is a topic of interest. So this shall mark the first People Watching Report of the Robot Collector history, with many others to follow.
