Lauri and I arrived at our TDS a little after 6:30. She got there ahead of me while I picked up some breakfast for us at Chick-Fil-A. There was one couple ahead of us and they'd brought a bench over, and I got another bench because we knew other people would be arriving shortly.
We sat down and ate our breakfast. After we finished, I took the bag and the drink carrier to a nearby trash can, leaving my drink sitting on the bench next to Lauri. As I was walking back over, I heard some laughter and wondered what was funny. When I got there, I saw what it was.
Somehow, my DW Lauri had knocked MY drink off the bench and it landed on the lid, forcing the straw THROUGH the bottom of the styrofoam cup!
Aside from the hole in the bottom of the cup and a small puddle of Coke forming v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y, the drink was intact. I looked at the cup, looked at Lauri, and asked "What did you do to my drink??" before laughing myself.
After wishing someone had a camera (this was definitely a "you have to see it" moment) and turning down a suggestion to drink from the cup as is (yuck!!), we had to deal with how to pick it up and throw it away without causing an even bigger mess. This was pretty simple -- I removed the straw, put the stryofoam back into place, flipped it over quickly, and took it to the trash can.
This says a lot about Chick-Fil-A's straws that they can poke that hole, and a lot about their cup lids that they held up without all the Coke spilling everywhere. Not sure what that says about the cups, though.
Oh, and the pins. The manager yesterday told me there was one pin they were short for this week, but they arrived later in the day, so they had all the pins plus the ones that were missing from last week. Lots of good sales plus a GWP promotion this weekend in addition to the pins.
