Dogging On Hot Dogs?

                                                             

Someone at the big 5 hamburger chains needs to explain to me why they don't sell hot dogs.  About once a month or so I get a hankering for fast food....but I often have to drag myself kicking and screaming to a burger joint cause I know I'm going to get a semi-cold hamburger or cold soggy fries.
Even when the burgers are half way decent, sometimes I just hunger for a change of pace.

So why the hell won't Burger King or MacDonalds or Wendy's sell me a hot dog...or a chili dog?  Am I the only one in America that is tired of fried chicken or hamburger patties?  Geesh!

Yes, I know Weinerschnitzel sells hot dogs and chili dogs, but there are simply not enough of them around!   Plus, their fries suck really badly!   Jack In The Box will sell me an Asian salad or an Asiaio Chicken sandwich but can't be bothered with weiners?  

It can't be the costs!  I can drive up to Costco and get a foot long hot dog, or polish sausage, and huge cup of coca cola for $1.50!  While I don't expect Mickey D's to offer me that same kind of deal I am amazed that they are not willing to make me any deal at all!

When I was a kid in high school they had a snack bar right outside the school cafeteria.  If I didn't like what the school was serving inside I could always step up to the snack bar and buy a foot long hot dog for a quarter!  And it was great!

So I'm not getting these Big 5 clowns and their multi-million dollar test kitchens....where they dream up those grisselly McRib sandwiches, or their baconaters with bacon slices so thin you can see right through them, or or their square patties on round buns!  

At not one of those test kitchens did some brainy fella come up with the idea of selling hot dogs?  Are you kidding me?

Just give me an order of Mickey D's fries, and one of those little paper boats loaded up with a couple of chili dogs...and I just might visit them once a week instead of once a month....that's a "400%" increase in business!  So some one get off your buns and boil me a weenie!
