** UPDATE ** I have been contacted by the manager of the Zantigo’s in question. They are very apologetic and have talked to the staff in question about how they reacted to the situation. I think they have done a satisfactory job since and applaud them for their commitment to customer satisfaction.

I just had a very interesting experience at the Woodbury Zantigos, well not so much my experience as my co-worker Jim’s. We went to have a very quick bite to eat before running some errands and Zantigos has some good chilitos.

I got my usual order of chilitos and green chili and Jim ordered chilitos and some Mexican potatos. Mexican potatos are just tater tots that have been deep fried and seasoned, but they are pretty tasty… Normally.

After eating a few potatoes Jim picked up something special out of his potatoes. We think it was a wasp or other larger flying insect that either fell or was pushed into the frier. It was totally disgusting and needless to say he did not finish his potatoes.

The worse part if you can think of something worse is that when he pulled aside an employee to show her the buggy potato she responds, oh well I can give you some more potatoes if you wanted. No apology, no offer to refund the potatoes, just an offer for more of the specially dieased bug potatoes.

I do not think I will be going back to Zantigos for some time.

In my last post I had news, so here is it. Over the last few weeks I have reconnected with a friend I basically grew up with. About a year ago I posted a link on a service called Long Lost Friends where if the person I was trying to find did a google search on their own name they would see that I was looking for them. About a week ago my long lost friend, Skye, emailed me and we have been chatting back trying to catch up.

Here is a picture from back in 1981. I am on the left, Skye is on the right. My sister, Heather, in the back right and Skye’s sister, Erin, in the back left.

Skye’s mother was my sitter before I was in school and so I basically grew up with Skye. We played all the time and it was only until middle school that we drifted apart. It was a pleasant surprise to be emailed from Skye since we last spoke to each other almost 20 years ago!

I do not want to spell out her life since this is my blog but the basics are she got married about the same time I did and she also has two children. Hope we can stay in touch this time around Skye!
