CHICKEN ADDITION!

 We and our traveling companions took
a walk through Watkins Glen, New York
before beginning our trip back home
yesterday.
   There's always something neat to see
there. Like sports cars for us guys and
antique shops our wives checked out!
   But I saw one of the most impressive
things I've seen in years during our
stop at a local restaurant there!
  In fact I could hardly believe my eyes!
  The place was "Mr. Chicken" which
had been recommended by a good friend
who frequents the Glen area.
  As the name implies, this fast food
outlet specializes in all sorts of chicken
dishes.
   But it wasn't the huge menu or even the
vast collection of Chicken novelties
lining the shelves that raised my eyebrows
and lowered my jaw.
   I was stunned to see each of the waitresses
taking customer's orders, item by item, then
adding the prices to get the total WITHOUT
using a register or calculator!
  They were actually adding all the numbers
just as many of us had been taught to do
way back in our Elementary School
Arithmetic Class!!!
   And, would you believe it?  Their totals
were correct!
    Businesses everywhere should be seeking
out  these workers! In most establishments.....
if the power goes out....the clerks are lost!
    Anything above 2 + 2 becomes as
equation all too many "associates" are
unable to handle with just a pencil and
paper.
     Imagine, good addition and some great
chicken too! Now that really adds up!
     Hope you can tell a plus from a minus,
and that all your NEWS is good!
