I was robbed of right this evening
Goddamit... I was covering an election debate...came back to the station and cut stuff up for tomorrow. I hadn't eaten dinner and was starving... so I go out to get some Rotten Ronnies or something... NOTHING was open.. what is that about?

As a reporter covering an election, working 16 hours, and getting off late... I have a RIGHT to eat terrible food late without feeling guilty... hell, I know guys that got into this just to DO that.

ANd those bastards robbed me of that right :mad:

1. I've worked 2nd and 3rd shift most of my life
and I must say, there are NOT enough services open for those of us (2/3 of the population, or THE MAJORITY OF THE WORKFORCE) who do NOT work 9-5. Banks and groceries (but for Meijer we'd be screwed), billing and "offices"....

It SUCKS.

4. I guess DU needs an edible forum.
or at least some burger and fries scratch and sniff posts.

but that would probably make it worse.

6. Thank God for Meijers.
Open all night, every night. I've tried to find out if their puke donors, but can't find anything. I'm going to be devastated if I find out that they are.

5. That's the strange thing
Usually there is stuff open. However, tonight MCdicks was closed for maintenance. The only other open one is Wendys... which wasn't open :shrug:
I've been here six months.

Denny's was open but I wasn't gonna eat anything I could get at drive through..

9. terrible food?
couldn't you find a vending machine with one of those nasty ham and cheese sandwiches?
Or are you talking about good tasting food which is very bad for you?
See I can always find an all night gas station where I can get a candy bar and/or a bag of chips. I will take that over a burger or a taco or a chicken sandwich any day.
