indy, i feel the same way about BK

As much as I hate a screwed up McDonald's order, at least they put an actual lemon in your iced tea! This lemon juice crap is just like KFC's little packets of "honey sauce."






For fun, my most recent trip to McD's:

Disembodied voice: Hello, may I take your order?

Me:
Extra large iced tea with lemon, please.

DV:
I'm sorry?

Me:
I'd like an extra large iced tea with lemon, please.

DV:
Sorry?

Me:
May, I, have, an, extra, large, iced, tea, with, lemon, please.

DV:
Sorry, but AGBYTSWRYNBDPOEKF.

Me:
Pardon?

DV:
AGBYTSWRYNBDPOEKF.

Me:
Um -

DV:
Sorry?

Me:
I can't -

DV:
WE DON'T HAVE ICED TEA.

Me:
Seriously?

DV:
D'ya want something else?

Me:
A Sprite? Do you have that?

DV:
One-oh-four, drive forward.

Me, pulling forward:
Are you out of iced tea, or do you just not have any here?

Embodied voice:
I'm sorry?

Me:
Just forget it. (I hand the cashier $1.05. Cashier drops the nickel on the ground next to my car, then looks blankly at me.)

Me:
Oh for - (getting out of car, I discover that Stupid Head has been dropping people's coins left and right. Instead of picking up my nickel, which would require me putting the car in park, I grab a dime, which is within easy reach.)

The now-embodied voice hands me my iced tea - and - bonus! A one-car-early free cheeseburger. Boy, the guy behind me's gonna be pissed. I drive away shaking my head. "I have profited five cents and 40 mg of cholesterol." Mart, has been unable to speak due to uncontrollable laughter since AGBYTSWRYNBDPOEKF, finally sputters, "You are such a bitch!"

Double-you-tee-eff, mate? What IS it about McDonald's?

well, the conversation never progressed that far. i think the employees are actually automatons that are not programmed to handle questions more complex than "can i go large?"
