I like to go for a root beer at John’s Root Beer stand when I am in Waukesha. Our family was talking about what is the best root beer recently. The unanimous consensus was John’s, until the consideration was raised as to whether John’s was actually root beer, because it is so smooth and delicious, maybe it is its own category. It is really good.
I always get a quart mug. First off, I really like drinking from the glass mug. I always order a “large mug” of root beer. Then the clerk says we don’t have our large size in mugs. I ask, “What is your largest mug then?” They reach into a vat of water and pull out a very large mug and said, “This is a quart.” I say, “Yes. That is what I want – your largest mug.”
I guess that is where I am going wrong. I need to say largest mug. Nancy was swept along with my ordering and also got a quart of root beer. She said she always orders a stupid too-small size and hers is gone and I am still drinking mine. I didn’t think she could finish it. The clerk told me they could pour it into a to go cup if she couldn’t. I thought that was very nice.
We got over to my brother at the picnic table, where he was drinking his stupid too-small plastic cup of root beer. He kept saying he didn’t order enough root beer. He was right. Nancy gave some of hers to him. Hers got all gone before mine!
We’ll stop back tomorrow to pick up a gallon to export to Alexander. Maybe I will try ordering “the largest mug” and see if it works.
