    Well, and the lush who's buying a case of beer and four bottles of wine ... so I hear.

    One bottle of alcohol will do it. Forget about quantity. The age verification process with the clerk in absentia is one of life's great frustrations.

    A McDonald's I visit sometimes has both kiosks and counter ordering. I just go to the counter as everyone else is pressing buttons.

    And they should offer a double burger without cheese for less money. I noticed at In-N-Out a cheeseburger is about 60 cents more than a regular hamburger.

    Another trick to watch for at McDonald's is that it's sometimes cheaper to order separately than as a combo. They are offering all sizes of drinks for $1, but I believe the combos come with a smaller drink that costs more if you break the items down individually.

    This case is really resonating with people:

    For at least 40 years I have been doing battle with fast food clerks and restaurant waitresses over the difference between hamburgers and cheeseburgers because I do not like cheese on my hamburger.

    People who want cheese on their hamburgers should be forced to say, “I want a cheeseburger.” I should not be required to say, “I want a hamburger, no cheese,” or even answer a question such as, “Do you want cheese on your hamburger?”

    No, I say, because if I wanted cheese I would have ordered a cheeseburger which is what you call a hamburger with cheese on it.

    This semantic battle became outright war at a fast-food franchise one day when I was charged for a cheeseburger after ordering a hamburger with no cheese.

    “Yes, you have to pay for the cheese because our hamburgers come with cheese,” I was told by a clerk who was rendered speechless when I asked if she would give me money for a diamond ring she did not request, and I planned never to give her.

    I slowly explained that I ordered a hamburger and was now being told I had to pay for cheese that I was not getting.

    “I’m sorry sir but you have to pay the same price because we sell hamburgers with cheese,” the clerk said, patiently explaining that I would not get any cheese on my burger and completely misunderstanding the point I was trying to make.

    If I order my steak medium rare, I should be charged less than the guy who orders his medium.

    And don't get me started on them charging me the same price as everyone else when I ask for my margarita without salt on the rim ...

    One of the places I'd very much like to visit some day.
    Of course, I haven't been in Connecticut since about 1990.

    Interesting that same trip that included passing through Connecticut also featured the only time I've ever been threatened by someone with a gun.
    While purchasing drugs in Providence, RI.
