Planning Ahead

Mrs. Myrtle Standich took her grandson, Mr. Eric Standich, out to dinner at Wendy's. Mrs. Myrtle Standich had the baked potato with chives and a little cheddar. For the most part, Mrs. Myrtle Standich found the prepartion subpar. Mr. Eric Standich, age seventeen, ordered a hamburger and french fries with a frosty for dessert. Mr. Eric Standich had little to say of the meal even after questioning. The service, however, was immaculate. Mr. Brandon Fitz took the order, handled the transaction of money, and had the food delivered in a matter of fifteen minutes. Mrs. Myrtle Standich assumed Mr. Brandon Fitz to be at least fifteen and, with such an acute understanding of customer service, he is surely a name to watch in the future of the Wendy's organization.

Mrs. Myrtle Standich steered the convesation for the most part with Mr. Eric Standich peppering in with nods and scattered sighs. The main topic was Mr. Eric Standich's future, of which Mrs. Myrtle Standich was unsure. Mr. Eric Standich immediately countered that he, too, was unsure. Mrs. Myrtle Standich suggested the military, as recent television commercials stated that it was a wise choice for many young adults of various backgrounds. Mr. Eric Standich agreed that this was definitely the image they were portraying, but that it wasn't the right choice for him. Mrs. Myrtle Standich understood immediately and suggested a job in the ad industry. If Mr. Eric Standich liked the field of advertising, he could even make a series of commercials stating that it was also a wise choice for many young adults of various backgrounds to get jobs in advertising. Mr. Eric Standich nodded and ate. Mrs. Myrtle Standich couldn't tell if it was an agreeing nod or a disapproving nod and, therefore, went back to eating her baked potato.
