June 9th 2011 was a very hot and hazy day in NYC. Team SLAW was at a special location (for work). At lunch time, Spa and I went to get lunch. Since this area doesn't offer many lunch choices, we decided to head back to Nathan's. Now for new SLAW readers; Nathan's is the place where Cash met his evil arch nemesis FLO back in Episode 8 posted Dec 1st 2010. [Link to full episode here] 

In short, Back in Dec 2010 Cash upgraded to 5 piece chicken tender meal instead of 3 piece. Now common sense would say that with 5 piece meal, you will two sauces but Flo refused and offered Cash to buy his extra Ranch sauce for additional 51 cents. Since then she was added to Team SLAW's List of Meanies

Now we were going back there after 5 months.  Has Flo changed? Is she even there? Well she was there, meaner than ever.  Spa and I were in line. Spa, risking everything including lunch decided to take the very first picture of Flo. She lifted her blackberry and I pretended to read an e-mail off of it. This is how we captured Flo, the meanest, most reclusive and demanding fast food cashier of all time.

We braved the 97 degree hot humid weather and came back with not only some delicious yummy oily and fattening fries and burgers and chicken  but also a picture of Flo. For those who have never had Nathan's, its delicious atleast when you are hungry and eating it.  Their fries are some of the best thick-cut you can buy at a fast food chain and probably will beat Chick-fill-A's waffle fries in a taste test.

 

Next morning, Mr X picked me up for work and we decided to go to McDonald's drive thru close to my house in Bayside, NY.  As we were waiting for our food, I noticed that McDonald's has a SAUCE POLICY.  You get more sauce when you order more chicken, 1 sauce for 3 pieces, 2 sauce for 5 pieces - proving even more that Cash was right all along. Take that Flo!

To add to all of this, when we went back to Nathan's on Friday, there was no Flo.  And without even asking, we got 2 containers of sauce with our order. Also, For those who have never met Flo, well just imagine the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld but a bit more meaner (See video clip below)

NO SAUCE FOR YOU, COME BACK 1 YEAR!
