Mister Chopstick beats Noodle man
The place I’m working is on a long road with very little other than factories and office buildings on it. So, if I don’t bring a lunch, it can be a drive to go get something.
(There is a Dunkin Donuts that appears to have its own helipad. Any place where the people are taking helicopters go get coffee is out of my price range.)
About 5 minutes away is a Chinese restaurant with a take out buffet for under $8. It’s twice as close as the Wendy’s burgers, better food, more of it, and about the same price.
So, I’ve gone there pretty much every day I didn’t bring my lunch.
As I like eating with chopsticks, and they don’t normally give them out, I always ask for a pair when I get my buffet container.
Yesterday I walked in and the two women behind the counter said “Buffet to go and chopsticks!”
I paid with my debit card and one of the women asked to see my ID. Since I sign it “CID” I’m OK with that.
“Now I know Mr. Chopstick’s name is Frank!” she declared as she handed the card back.
So, I may be “The Noodleman in Worcester, but in Hopkington Mr. Chopstick’s name is Frank.
