The One That Makes Me Wonder

I wonder how this could happen? Twice within six months, at the exact same eating establishment...I mean, who does the ordering of products?
On Tuesday, I pulled into the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant, famous for its colors of orange and white and the 45, 326 (or something close to that number) different ways to order its burgers...
I place my order and was told, in a very friendly voice, that this restaurant was out of my drink choice...Dr.Pepper. How is this possible? I mean twice in six months? Shouldn't every restaurant have Dr.Pepper stockpiled, it being the official drink of Texas? (Not that this is factual, but hey, Waco has a museum celebrating the wonderful soft drink.)
The first time, the girls and I walked out. This time, I said, "Ok, well, please cancel my order" and drove off.
I wonder, who drinks it all? Who orders the syrup for the machines? How many other people were disappointed that day? Did the truck delivering said syrup get lost? There is a big Dr.Pepper plant on 35W...I'm just wondering...
Yes, this might seem rather shallow and petty, given the state of our country today. I understand that...but I just really needed a Dr.Pepper. Those of you that love this soft drink as much as I do, will get it. Sometimes you just have to have a Dr.Pepper and nothing else will do.

I know that this post isn't profound or life-changing, but as I write this, I realize that there are somethings in life that just aren't worth compromising for...whether it be a silly Dr.Pepper, how you mow the grass, or standing up for something you believe in or have a passion for, how you raise your children or how you value relationships or your personal faith. So take the road that leads you to be uncompromising, unwavering in whatever it is that you believe in.
