My Jacked Up Life

Very few adults still like to eat McDonalds when given a choice. I am one of the few who will go there when the kids aren’t in the car.

I like McDonalds.

There. I said it.  So What?

The thing is, I have no idea why. I only eat a couple of things off of the menu. Love the fries. The things I do eat aren’t good enough to out weigh the crappy service I have recieved at the hands of the incompetant drive thru staff.

A few years ago, I got flipped off in the drive thru by an employee who’s shift just ended. Didn’t even get a free value meal out of that one. Nice.

My son AC, always gets the same thing and I always order in the exact same way. ‘I want a Mighty Kid’s Meal with a plain hamburger, nothing on it, no cheese.’ Sounds simple enough, right?  WRONG!!!!!! They never get it right. They always put cheese on it.

One day I had enough of this bullshit. I always check his hamburger before I drive away and of course, there’s cheese on it.

This is the conversation that followed…..

Dumb Ass: Is there a problem?

Angela: Yes. This has cheese on it. I ordered a plain double hamburger.

Dumb Ass: This is plain. It doesn’t have ketchup or mustard on it.

Angela: Right, but it has cheese on it which would make it a cheeseburger, not a hamburger.

Dumb Ass: Could you please pull forward?

Angela: No thank you. I’m fine right here. (They move faster if you refuse to get out of their window.)

After a minute of waiting, the Dumb Ass came back to the window and says ‘Sorry about that’. What does she hand me?

The same fucking cheeseburger I sent back in the first place!!!!!!!

 Could anyone seriously be that stupid? (For future reference…yes….they can.) So…..I throw the cheeseburger back through the window. You read that right, I threw it……but not hard.

Dumb Ass: Did you just throw that hamburger back in here?

Angela: No.

Dumb Ass: Then what just flew in the window?

Angela: A cheeseburger.

Dumb Ass: Please pull forward and my manager will be right with you!!!!

This time, I did pull forward because I felt that I had their attention. When the manager came out she handed me a plain double hamburger.  Before she could walk away I told her that two pieces of meat and two pieces of bread shouldn’t be that fucking hard. At this point, she asked me not to visit their location again.

It takes a real talent to get kicked out of the McDonald’s drive thru.

Today, there was another incident at the McDonalds drive thru. I picked AC up from his grandmother’s and I was starving. We decided to make a run to the McDonalds at Hampton and Chipppewa. Everything went fine while we were there. I drove all the way home before I noticed the problem.

I put my bag on the kitchen table and took everything out. When I looked at my Quarter Pounder I thought it looked a little ‘thin’. After I opened the QP box I quickly discoverd what the problem was. The geniuses at the drive thru made my QP and they put everything on it…….except for the meat!!!!!!  I’ve never seen anything like this before.

Bun…..check

Ketchup….check

Mustard….check

Pickle…..check

Onion…check

Two slices of cheese….check

But no quarter pound of meat on the Quarter pounder……priceless.

Of course, I went straight back. The head dumb ass asked if I might of dropped it or something. I pointed out that there were two slices of cheese on there that had obviously never been melted to a hamburger. He seemed impressed with my CSI skills and decided to believe me.

This time, not only did I get my money back but I’m logged into their computer to get a free value meal the next time I’m in. At least, I think that’s why he said he was putting me in the computer.
