My Bob Evans boycott began the day I saw the long line at the Post Office and decided to cross the parking lot and have lunch there. I ordered a BLT, one of my favorite sandwiches, on whole wheat toast with onion. After about a 25-minute wait, the counter server brought me plain white bread, barely toasted, with 3 strips of bacon under slices of tomato that you could read a newspaper through. The single leaf of lettuce looked like it had lain in a hydrator for a week or so, and there was no onion slice in sight. When I called these things to the attention of the server, he said, "Well that's the way we usually make them, and the cook probably just forgot the onion; besides, I've never heard of anyone ordering onion on a BLT." I tipped him "accordingly" and walked back over to the PO, where I was second in line.
Dick's was much easier: by the time I heard about their decision to quit selling firearms and ammo, I went to the one closest to my house and found out that there no longer was a gun department.
