Every so often, I encounter a situation outside of collision repair that nonetheless can provide a good lesson for those firmly entrenched in the auto body world. Last month was one of those situations. I was ready to pull in to my local McDonald's on my way to work to pick up my usual, a large black coffee, but imagine my surprise when I found that the restaurant was closed due to construction. My Monday was not starting off well... and I won't even mention what happened later when a giant, lifted pickup truck nearly took off my front end as it recklessly swerved in front of me to go around a slow driver in the speed lane. So I decided Plan B would be to visit the BP a block away to get my caffeine fix. I'd never gotten coffee there before, but it was just like the other gas stations: a central coffee station with every conceivable coffee you can think of, hot and ready in plastic urns. There were also cups of various sizes, sugar, cream and all that... except lids. Where were the lids? Hmmm. All I could find were plastic soda lids, not the specialized coffee ones with the little slit allowing you to sip but not burn yourself. I looked up, down and everywhere until I decided, well, no lid, too bad. |
