bad buns

The other night we picked up barbeque for the house.

These were the buns...

"So good, they taste homemade."

Was there no grown-up awake in the room at the packaging meeting?

"Guys... these don't taste homemade. In fact, they really have no taste at all. We need to start making better stuff or change the statement to a warning label. 'So ordinary, you know a machine made them'... much more acurate. Can we please make good buns?"

Of course the barbeque place could put an end to the low-end mediocrity too.

"Guys... we make great barbeque. Let's put it together with something special rather than kill it with this foam we've been purchasing for so long. I mean it takes us a long time and a lot of love to make this stuff. Let's finish the job right."

Of course I could stop somewhere else on the way home and pick up something special. But I guess I'm lazy too.

So many places along the path to our house where the end product could have been improved.

A little truth... a little effort.

I know. It's just a bun.

Were their no grown ups, not was.

It is a reflection of the mediocrity that we often come across in our daily lives, be it the products that we buy or the services we tend to receive, many times as customers. And it tries to awake the manufacturers from the slumber of being ‘average’ in their services. It underlines the value of providing best services to the customers for any product, be it a daily grocery item like a bun or something big. It re-iterates the fact that by providing better services to their valued customers, by doing away with the mediocrity and providing right end-product, they can offer a true value for the money spent by the customer. We know very well that the finished product has to pass through several stages before it gets ready to be delivered. Can ‘we’, the customers, get ‘Something special’, something that is baked with the ingredients of lots of labour and love or labour of love!
