I have been up in arms for the past few weeks because the cafeteria hasn’t had any seasoned curly fries. They have regular fries and curly fries with no seasonings. Um, isn’t that the same thing with different shapes? RUDE. Felix, the cook, told me that they will no longer be serving seasoned curly fries because the new manager said NO. WAY RUDE.

So yesterday I sent an email to the cafeteria complaining about the lack of curly fries:

“Hi Barb,

I don’t know what the new manager’s email is, so I’m hoping you can pass this on. I learned today that there will no longer be any seasoned curly fries in the cafeteria. The is extremely upsetting and disturbing to me because the curly fries are the only reason I eat down there. Those fries are the highlight of my work day. Furthermore, I do not understand why the cafeteria would chose to carry regular straight fries and UNSEASONED curly fries, when they are practically the same thing.

To sum up, seasoned curly fries are awesome and most needed, unseasoned curly fries are redundant and a watse of space. Please bring back the SEASONED curly fries.

Thank you!

Tom”

She wrote me back and said she was unaware that they weren’t carrying the seasoned curly fries anymore and would pass my email on. Well, today I went down to the cafeteria and well… It’s ON! I had to send another email.

Barb,

Thank you so much for passing on my email to the new manager.

I was just in the cafeteria getting lunch and I had already grabbed a bag of tasty BBQ chips because I knew my taste buds were not going to be blessed by the delicious seasonings of my favorite curly fries, as they are no longer being served. When I reached the register, Bonnie informed me that Felix had made some curly fries. Oh what a lucky day! I put the chips away and ordered some curly fries.

Imagine my disappointment upon realizing that these were NOT seasoned curly fries, but regular curly fries toped with a rather toxic concoction of paprika and chili powder? I’m not 100% sure what was sprinkled on these, by my taste buds were offended. I asked a coworker to try them as well, just to see if my bitterness was clouding my mind. She too found this spicy concoction to be offending to the palette.

Much like you cannot tape a cone to a horse’s head and call it a unicorn, you cannot sprinkle toxins on regular curly fries and call them “seasoned curly fries”. PLEASE ask new manager to bring back the real seasoned curly fries!

Thank you,

Tom”

By the time this is finished they may bring back my fries, but I may not be able to show my face in there to get them.

* Edited to Add: I posted this entry on Wednesday and by lunch on Thursday the curly fries were back! Snaps! See this entry for the full details.

Of all the causes to back….you back curly fries. Thank God someone is backing curly fries. Forget AIDS in Africa, starvation in Ethiopa, bad fashion in Europe, Whitney’s crack-whorin’ in Atlanta…..you back the curley fries. I have one thing to say….

Whatafries RULE and curly fries drool (or, probably, at least the ones you are having to eat these days…hach….spit…..)

[…] I have to call and fight with my apartment complex about my rent. They want me to pay $55 more a month. Last time I renewed it had gone up $85. Who do they think they are? I did some research and my apartment is priced about the same as apartments around me, so I can’t complain too much… but I will. I write fierce complaint letters. Just go back and read the curly frie drama. […]

Something to say?
