“Hardees is not a venue for family pow-wows, or begging, it’s a place of business”

Hardees

4501 E WT Harris Blvd

Charlotte, NC 28215

 

On Saturday, I walked to the Hardees at the corner of WT Harris Blvd and The Plaza, because I was in no mood to go into town to Burger King. Before hand, I went to the Circle K and got me one of those soda pop deals.  The deal was “Buy a 20oz soda pop, and get a 2 litre soda pop free, any flavour diet or regular of 7-Up, A&W, Canada Dry, Sunkist” . The expiry date is right up my avenue as well! It expires on December 31st 2009. Anyway, I felt as if, their hamburgers were not gonna fill me up anyway, I went and I bought 2 “small hamburgers”. Small hamburgers they was. And they were cheaper than Burger King, and tasted a little better. The  inside was looking alright, the last time I went into Hardees, they did not have big screen TVs, and they didn’t have nice looking wallpaper either. Oh well, we can’t hate on progress. The only issue, is that, the person who took my order, was like all other black men. They don’t want a faggot in their line, polluting his air.

I ate inside, and then after I finished eating, I made the journey back to my house. I went outside, and these 2 black men, who was supposed to be doing their job asking this girl to wash her car for $3. They were also dapping up some people, like this is a barbershop in the city. Child. Anyway you put it, I’d come back, because Hardees is somewhat cheaper and fills me up.

Even though, this restaurant gets a passing grade, this may not be LGBT friendly restaurant. I’m a bisexual, and the man who took my order looked as if he was disgusted at how I am.

“Since it is close to the buses, I’ll end up still eating there”

Burger King #9520

310 E Trade Street

Charlotte, NC 28202

 

Sometimes when I am hungry, I catch the bus to the Transit to the Burger King. That Burger King has got to be the worst Burger King in the state of North Carolina. Even though, I come to expect good food when it comes to Burger King, I don’t too much like the people who works at the Burger King. 3 days before I was set to graduate (June 10th, 2008), we had to go to the Cricket Arena, to rehearse our seating arrangement. So, I got off the number 3 bus at 1:45, walked into Burger King, and I took my order. Which, the last time, I could have gotten just a Whopper and Fries, without the drink, but since, that faggot nigga with 5 different earrings in each ear, and cornrows was man-ing, or “woman-ing” the register, he tried to get all smart. I told him, I wanted my money back, if I was gonna miss the bus. I had to be at Cricket Arena at 3:00pm sharp. It is going along 2:30, and my food wasn’t ready yet (I ordered at 1:55pm), so I was about to jump the counter and beat the shit out of that little bitch, and I heard my order number.  I took my food, and I ran to the bus. I ended up eating on the go.

Do note, I am bisexual my own self.

Yesterday, (October 14th 2009), I was at the Burger King at the Transit and I was short about $.27, and the lady who looked like a $2.50 hooker, told the lady who was at the register, to go on to the next person. I was needing to catch the 2:00 Sprinter, because I was going to my ex’s house to pitch some woo. I was given $.27 by this man (Thanks.) to proceed to the next step… waiting for the food. 20 minutes pass. I finally get my food. But, what’s the use of “having it your way” when you order with deaf people? When I sit down, with Tray in my left hand, man bag and umbrella in the right hand, I open up the Whopper, and I specifically ask for no tomatoes, every time I order a hamburger at any establishment.I take it back to the counter, and I tell them “I would like 2 whoppers. No cheese, no tomatoes, light mayonnaise.” The lady snatched the tray back, and she said “There’s a problem”. After waiting another comparable 20 minutes, It’s 2:20. I get my food, and I looked at it , and I said Hallelujah! They don’t listen sometimes, but I don’t care. Well, as long as they don’t act as stupid as the people at the Burger King in Xenia, I am alright. To those who don’t know about the Burger King in Xenia, Ohio, this white man who worked there, he was fired because he took a bath in the sink, and videotaped it, and posted it onto MySpace, before being leaked onto YouTube.

If you can avoid eating there, avoid it.

CATS drivers and people who lives off of McDonald’s say that if McDonald’s was in the Transit, Burger King would be out of business. I think that as well. Since it is closer to the buses, I’ll end up still eating there. My life is on the go, almost 24 hours a day.

“When Money is Not a Problem, I’ll Come Back, Hands Down”

Liki Tiki Village

17777 Bali Blvd

Winter Garden, FL 34787

Right. I stayed at this resort called “Liki Tiki Village” in August of 2005. This was back when Hurricane Katrina was nothing more than a tropical wave.I remember on the way to Liki Tiki, I was wondering “is this resort LGBT accepting?” When we get there, which from Charlotte, it would take about 10 hours to get there. Shit, we got into Jacksonville right during rush hour traffic. My phone didn’t work, so I couldn’t call anyone to tell them how Jacksonville (or Duval County) looked. Anyway, we got to Liki Tiki between 10:30a and 11:30a. The facade of the resort was just absolutely beautiful! The inside of the room we was in, was no different. I NEVER been in a motel room like that before. Even though, a little critter or two greeted me, I enjoyed it. There is an occasional thunderstorm, but it ain’t any different than what we see in Charlotte.

Y’all. I just figured out, we had a timeshare! I did not know that. In the morning around 8:00am (thank God they are in the same time zone), I walked around the entire resort, to 3 different continental breakfasts. They had one for regular folks, who didn’t have a timeshare. And then they had two others for those with timeshares. Shit, the regular continental breakfast was scurvy as hell. But, my cousin and family friend (literally) invaded the timeshare holder Continental breakfast, and they came back with fruit, bagels, juice, sausages, and like they had a whole big feast.

Around 7:00, I went to the pool area with the fitness centre attached to it, goddamn! I was hypnotized by this fine ass white boy. He looked like he was either in the 9th or 10th grade. He was just coming home from school (I didn’t even know those were apartments either).

The concierge desk people and bellhops are very courteous and was gracious with open arms to allow me in their inn.

The horrible drivers in Florida, and the continuation of cleanup from Hurricanes Frances and Charley ain’t hurt the reputation worth shit,

Money is hard to come by nowadays. When money is not a problem, I’ll come back, hands down. And I will be taking my family and my boyfriend with me.

On a Scale of 1(horrible)-10(excellent)

Cleanliness of Room- 9

Kindness of Staff- 10

Amenities- 10

Overall- 9.5

This is LGBT accepting, the last time I checked. I was closeted that time, but I didn’t give a damn when I was there.
