The ads up in the Burger King side windows were of happy people having a cookout. Then I looked in the front window and saw the paper crowns and a crisp reflection of the houses across the street. Not too many customers eating BK this afternoon.

The lonely drive-through

What was the weekend like in Brooklyn? The places that are usually open 24 hours a day started keeping hours, or locked the doors until enough staff returned to man the registers and do food prep.
Late-night burger fix

Most fast-food customers favor the drive-through for the laziness factor and, after dark, to avoid the brightness of the lights. If they turned them lower, the guys who play dominoes in the corner would probably never go home.
Live long and prosper, Maggie

Buy a kid’s meal, get a plastic toy. This Spock is the best of the Star Trek figurines. Bobbleheads, as a genre, are obviously in trouble. I don’t mind Spock’s huge head, but the hand, fingers spread in Vulcan salute, are sausagey and comical. If I was a fan of the franchise, I’d call it disrespectful. (The fast food place uses the same case to display all the kid toys, that’s why Maggie from the Simpsons, a remainder from another promo, is there.)
Fast food meets religion

Have it your way this Lent. But keep in mind that each fish sandwich packs 640 calories and 32 grams of fat, so for five bucks you’ll consume 1280 calories. The tartar sauce adds 180 calories per sandwich, but without it, you’re going to need a big drink to wash it down. Maybe a milkshake and a side of fries. This is depressing. I’m just going to eat a chocolate Easter bunny, it’s healthier.
