Sources from inside this Wendy’s, located across from Home Depot just off the highway, report that the restaurant is currently serving food to a pretty decent representation of several diverse aspects of modern American life.
Customers were pleasantly surprised to notice fellow patrons of different races, age groups, religions, creeds and sexual preferences sitting down and eating burgers and fries as if it were just another day.
“Nice cross-section of America in this Wendy’s,” remarked claims adjuster and father of three Mark Brennerson. “You’ve got folks in suits over there sitting right next to some teenagers, and at the table by the door it looks like we have a single Asian father hanging out with his son. There’s a gay couple holding hands in line, and judging by the cross necklace he was wearing, the young man who took my order must be a Christian.”
He added, “It’s pretty neat.”
In addition to groups consisting of whites, blacks and Latinos, there was also a table consisting of one or two from each demographic. “That’s really something,” commented local medical student Wayne Burns. “Every kind of American seems pretty well-represented in here. It’s a real American smorgasbord.”
“It’s a great tableau in here,” said Wendy’s manager, Greg Mendez, who is both Puerto-Rican and Irish. “All the disparate groups that make America such a unique and wonderful place coming together to break bread. It really gives me hope for the future.”
“Oh, hold on,” Mendez said, surveying the restaurant. “There’s no chicks in here.”
