The missing ingredient.

During my recent trip to Boston, I stopped in at the Five Guys burger outlet on Huntington Avenue and ordered a chocolate shake. I must tell you that this was one of the best shakes I've ever had. Truly it was so thick, you couldn't drink it with a straw; you needed a spoon. Only problem was that Five Guys don't (doesn't?) have spoons. At first I thought the server meant that they had run out. But no. She told me they just don't have spoons. I find this very curious. Why would a restaurant that serves thick shakes not provide its customers with a means to consume them?  They had forks and knives and every imaginable condiment. Hmmm. No matter. I went next door and stole a spoon for Starbucks.
