The rumble in my stomach this morning could have been satisfied by some high fiber cereal and fruit at home, but I wanted to arrive early at the office to do some personal organization. The perfect solution appeared to be stopping off for a couple of breakfast tacos from a local shop on my way to work.

Now, keep in mind that I hardly ever even think about eating fast food. You’ll almost always catch me with a banana and green tea in the early hours of the day, as opposed to anything pre-made. That being said, there are times in which I go with perceived convenience because the work I’ll get done in the time saved is worth more to me than the price of paying for someone to make a bite to eat.

After having waited much too long and being overcharged for something I didn’t order, I was on my way from a thoroughly dissatisfying experience. Now, I find myself with a buck less in my pocket than I expected, but correcting their error would further put me in the hole with wanting to get to work extra early.

So, what was I witness to today? I was once again seeing a perfect illustration of the risk one takes when dealing with a lower-quality team of workers in hope of saving time. Sometimes, it makes sense to just do it yourself and be sure of the results. Life can be funny
