I was in a petrol station last night, filling the tank on the way to pick up Jane when I saw something I still don't quite believe. An Uber Eats driver came in to pick up a bag of greasy brown food from the servo’s terrible cafe.
There was nothing special about this place. Wasn't like it was a Texas Roadhouse with insanely great brisket. Or some Italian gas stop with really excellent coffee. No. It was just your average, Brisbane servo, factory pies, desiccated sausage rolls, something that science might have called a hamburger, but with a 10% margin of error.
Who does this? Like, I can understand if you were in some country town and this was the only place to get a feed after you've had a couple of cones, so you didn't want to drive... But there were a whole bunch of much better takeaway places, just across the street. One of the best cheap sushi restaurants in Brisbane. A really good Malaysian place. And if you just wanted some greasy carbs and mystery protein you could get it from el Turco.
But no, somebody sat at home and looked at their phone and thought, I really want some shit food from the servo.
My son. Thats who it was, with his derro mates. They have done this to our place at 1 or 2AM. The only redeeming feature was the choccy milks that would have gone down so well with the putrid mix of cruisers, ginger beers, beers and Mimosas.
I reckon the app said that they were ordering some kind of gourmet feast from Cal-Tech's Burger Deluxe. Little did they know that this meant some not-so-fresh hell from the Caltex servo bain-marie.
Might have had to feed a crummy in law.
The sleuth in me offers another explanation. This was the Uber drivers dinner. Fuel up and fill up in the same place.
Faith in humanity - restored.
"I really want some shit food from the servo" and I'm willing to pay a delivery fee for it. What utterly fresh hell is this? 😲
See my reply. No one would inflict this upon themselves.

Never underestimate the munchies or poor decision making.

Wait, you have Texas Roadhouse down there?
But the gist of your post is germane. Who does this? My take- someone out to extract vengeance on a foe, at an inflated price.
Oh! Well that's the only logical explanation. Otherwise it's pure chaos.
If that's not a sign of the nigh apocalypse it dam well should be
I tell ya what, I'd kill for some sausage biscuit brekky sangas as maccas. Miss those.
McGriddles would have me taking out a loan if I could get some!
Delicious McGriddles. Speaking for a friend.
Perhaps fat fingers were involved, however the accidental choice will only add to the problem.
