Window Shopper

Welcome back!

Today, I decided to try out the Pizza Hut Online website. We received coupons in the mail that stated they had online capability. While it may be normal and even easy for you with a larger version computer, my computer had problems. It was extremely slow loading. It was extremely slow with virtually everything. And it kept wanting things that it did not specify. For instance, it wanted all numbers or all letters…..in what, we have no idea. It wasn’t the password. It wasn’t my name or address. We have no idea what it’s problem was.

I simply was not happy with the way the website operated. In fact, it was so bad that I completely nuked my signup and order. You have to understand that we live in a rural area where this particular store does not deliver at all. But we could have a carryout. They have only quite recently offered internet ordering for this area. Yes, I do know. Archaic, right? But that’s the way it is out here in rural America.

The problem that we see is that the page is loaded with flash which does not do well on my computer. Because of that, the site was too slow for literally anything. It took the better part of 5 minutes to load from the front page to the order page. It went downhill from there. That is not good for anyone wanting to order anytime this century. We have wasted most of an hour trying to get this to work. The next step is to bypass the website altogether and call them like we usually do. And that’s the way it is today.

EDIT NOTE: I should tell you that we have DSL so it should not have taken so long.

Normally, I do not have a lot of good things to say about Walmart. At one time, they were pretty good, great in fact, but that was before Sam Walton died. Since then, I truly believe that those in charge have forgotten what pleasing the customer really means, something Sam Walton believed in totally. However, once in a while, something really good comes from Walmart.

This particular product is actually a Sam’s Club product but it has made it’s way into the Supercenters. Actually, I was told about this product by my Mom and my sister, both singing the praises of it. If you like grilled burgers, you will love Black Angus Beef Patties! These things are huge, have loads of juices and taste like they dropped off the grill a few moments ago. It is a new product in the Sam’s Choice line. The box says Backyard Gourmet. Black Angus Beef patties come in 6 one third pound patties in several actual flavors. For instance, the one that I am reading right now is Swiss Cheese and Mushroom. They also have Vidalia Onions. I cannot remember the others but there are several.

I have to admit that the box is a tad hard to read on the back where the instructions and stats are but the burgers are so good that we put them in things too! Cooked up by themselves, they are so juicy and good. Break them up into a casserole or slow cooker meal and you have more zing! These burgers keep their taste right through it all. I recommend them to everyone!
