Too Much Good Stuff?

Commercials for Am-Pm may tell you that you can never have too much good stuff; but I am here to tell you that, that may very well be a possibility. When I first arrived in Tempe, Arizona, I was delighted to find an In-N-Out about a mile away from my dorm building so I would be able to satisfy my craving whenever I needed.

Going home periodically told me that Tempe was missing a crucial part in their food/dessert industry.

Frozen yogurt.

A few months ago they put in a place called Yogurtini, but it is not nearly as good as Yogurtland, Golden Spoon, or even Cherry on Top. But, when I was at home for spring break, Charlie and I checked to see what time Yogurtland was open til in the K-Scope, and we found some amazing news. They are building a Yogurtland in Tempe!

Now I know what you are thinking, "Derek, you called this Too Much Good Stuff? If that is the case, why were you saying earlier that you wish they had one?" Whoa, cool your jets turbo, I am getting there.

I then proceeded to my trusty Google Maps to see where it would be located. I plugged in the address, 555 N. Scottsdale Rd. and got this image.



Thanks to Google Earth, I can show you that it is going in the top right of this image(which really in that picture just looks like a dirt lot). With the help of the Paint application on my laptop, I am going to use my artistic skills to show you the reason it is not such a good thing.

As you can see from the image, Yogurtland is going into the same parking lot as In-N-Out. Normally I would have been ecstatic about this information; but the fact that I make $7.25 an hour at The UPS Store makes it quite the opposite. In-N-Out and Yogurtland are probably two of my biggest weaknesses, and now that they are in the same spot, how can I turn one down while enjoying the other?

Dear UPS Store,

You can now feel free to re-direct my paychecks straight to In-N-Out and Yogurtland. There is just no need for me to even bother with them anymore.

Thanks,
Derek Gardner
