Condiments Anyone?

My friend is back on the mainland from Hawaii for the holidays. One of her major complaints--and trust me, I have heard them ALL--was having to ask for condiments. Be it McDonald's, Burger King, or a Chinese restaurant, she would have to ask for ketchup or soy sauce. Who does that? And why is that okay? Mind you, when she asked for the condiment that should come with the meal, she would get a scowl and a single packet of whatever she requested.   

Showing me her booty, she comments, “you would think they have been beat down about this stuff.” Referring to the ridiculous amount of soy sauce they have gave her.  They probably would not have been so generous were they in our 50th state.

Why are we having this little discourse? She just returned from picking up Chinese food and literally comes back with a bag of soy sauce--something unheard of in Hawaii. The saddest part of this little tale is that she cannot collect her windfall for the trip home. Remember, baggage space is at a premium these days.

Aloha!
