I can't believe you did that! That would have been a day my order would have gone to Wendy's or Burger King. Who do these little snots think they are?

We are traveling out to CO for my brothers wedding some years back and we stop for gas and McD's. I go to pay for my gas with a hundred dollar bill. Guy said we don't take 100 dollar bills. I said that is all I have. He said we don't take 100 dollar bills. I said ok so I handed him a cc. He said we don't take cc's. I said your right on the interstate and you don't take cc's. He said that is right. I said well then you need to take the 100 dollar bill for the 75 in gas or your not getting paid. Took a manager to tell this idiot to take the 100.

So off to McD land in not so good humor. 2 daughters and wife begin to study the menu intently for 10 minutes or so pissing Jeff off worse. I mean come on they haven't changed the menu in 20 damn years what's the hold up.

So I finally get them to the counter in an even worse mood and young lady says can I help you. I say Jenny would like a cheeseburger meal and a coke. Lady says do you mean a number 2? Grrr, I look up and sure as the dickens I mean a number 2.

I say Amanda here would like a hamburger meal and Mountain Dew. Lady says do you mean a number 1. I take a long inhale and slowly exhale as I look up to see that yes indeedy I do in fact want a number 1.

Wife unit says I would like a 1/4 cheeseburger meal with a diet Coke. Lady says do you mean a numbers 6. Jeff's tourette's kicks in as he bellers, Lady I don't give a flying F what number it is she wants a damned 1/4 pound f-ing cheeseburger meal and diet f-ing coke, can you handle that!!!!!! Total silence in MickyD land.

My voice is quivering as I say let me also have a 1/4 lb cheeseburger meal with diet coke. She says do you and I glare up quickly at her with the look of death and she stutters and says yes sir.

My kids did not like going places with me at times:)

I stopped at a McDonalds the other day and they had moved the speaker. I didn't see the speaker so since I was the only one in line I drove to the take order/pay window. Girl wouldn't take my order, had to drive around the building and tell her over the speaker.

Reason for that is at some McDonalds, the order taker is at an off-site call center (Bombay?) and the order is transmitted to the store electronically.
