Generally, I am disappointed by the loss of Jones products and the return of Coke products. But today, yes today, what a test.

I went to a local Indian buffet for lunch - it is on the MP dining program and I figured, I might as well earn a few points this month. A soft drink is included in the price.

The waitress asked me what I would like, and I said "Diet Coke." A couple minutes later, when I returned with my food, a can of Diet Pepsi was on the table, with an ice-filled glass, and a straw. Mind you, the waitress didn't ask "Is Diet Pepsi OK?" No, she just brought a Diet Pepsi.

Immediately I thought that the need to suddenly supply AS with all these Coke products is causing an immediate shortage, even to the point where Mileage Plan Dining partners can't even even supply Coke when ordered. Mind you, it wasn't that I wanted the Coke product so much, it was that it wasn't available.

Had this been just a harmless error by the waitress, well, that would have been forgivable. But a broader conspiracy is taking place.

Compensation?

I don't know about compensation but I do believe those repsonsible for this dastardly plot should be boiled in high-fructose corn syrup. That'll teach 'em!

Your compensation is an ounce of Coca-Cola. And some Funnyuns™.

Next time you fly into San Jose, California...I will try extra hard not to route your baggage to San Jose del Cabo.

How's that for compensation?

edited to add: yes, I know you are East Bay but there isn't a good match on the AS network for Oakland...

He's alive!

Yes, there is a good match. KOA. Just a touch of dyslexia required. But then you have to send me, in row 1 through 4 (aisle, please, and preferably row 2) to retrieve my bag.

The Frankenfood Lobby would argue you've already received compensation. Your man boobs, they'd say, will undoubtedly benefit from from repeated oral doses of HFCS, thus saving you the expense of cashing-in for a C award to Brazil for 'enhancements'.

Now who's the lucky boy?!?

Solano location. The food isn't very good. It isn't bad. And how this is getting hijacked from a Compensation from AS thread, I don't know.

Diet Pepsi served instead of Diet Coke with no advance warning? There are a few countries where capital punishment is recommended for that malevolent sin.

Is Exec short for Execution in your handle

Talk about hijacking a thread.

If I wasn't the OP, my post would have been inexcusable. Now back to more serious topics.
