As the morning sun began to paint the day with bright, warm hues, I found myself steering my car towards a familiar sight - the familiar red-haired Wendy's logo, an icon of comforting food. The road, shimmering in the hard morning light, seemed almost perfect, gently guiding my vehicle into the welcoming concrete ground of the parking lot. As the car in front of me pulled away from the drive thru window, the smell of freshly prepared food was going to be my next order.
I was very glad to make it to the drive thru before lunch time, knowing I'd just made the cutoff for the breakfast menu that ends its run at 10:30 a.m. The anticipation of a hearty breakfast brought a rumble to my stomach and a smile to my face. Driving up to the speaker, I was greeted with a friendly voice that echoed out, a soundtrack to the early hustle of the morning, stirring me to make my choice.
Among the choices of options on the menu, one item stood out - the chicken sandwich, an ensemble of flavors that seemed to call out. Almost instinctively, my stomach sent a message to my brain, clear as the morning sky: "Choose that one!" Placing my order, I was greeted with efficiency and warmth of Wendy's staff, handling the morning drive-thru rush with an ease that was as refreshing as it was impressive. On certain mornings, the sight of a long line of cars, their passengers patiently awaiting their breakfast orders, is a common sight. However, today, fortune favored me with only a single car ahead of me, making the wait time minimal.
When the heat of my breakfast order made it's way into my car, it came in a bag decorated with a charming pattern. Intrigued by the design, I turned the bag over to reveal a heartwarming message about the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Alongside it was a QR code, a digital gateway to more information about this admirable cause. The thought of a fast-food joint supporting such a noble initiative brought an unexpected smile to my face.
