Big Daddy Moment

Yup.  Two posts in one day.

LJ had his evaluation earlier (see previous post) and I'd promised to take him to McDonald's.   I can't stand that place.  I've been boycotting it.   The food is disgusting.   The point I was at earlier I would've probably promised ANYTHING for my sanity!

Okay, moving on since this isn't about the million things I hate about them... or is it?

::pull up to drive-thru squawk box::

"Welcome to McDonald's can I take your order?"
"Sure... is it breakfast or lunch right now?"
"It's 10:29."
"Okay... ummm... what does that mean?"
::long pause::
"Breakfast."
"Okay, can I please order a happy meal off the lunch menu in addition to breakfast?"
(as some McDonald's DO let you order lunch at breakfast, but not vice versa)
::long pause::
"No.  It's 10:29."
"Okay, when CAN I order lunch?"
::long pause::
"At 10:30."
"I'm sure we've gone back and forth for a minute... so is it 10:30 yet?"
::long pause::
"It's 10:29."
"Fine.  I'll take two mcmuffins and a large Hi-C and drive around again.   By the time I get to you it'll be 10:30 so can I  please just order a happy meal so I can pay all at once?"
::insert LJ SCREAMING at the top of his lungs that he wants a happy meal and how I promised him blah, blah, blah... and enter complete meltdown mode.::
::long pause::
"No you can't.  It's 10:29."
(I'm certain it's been over a minute... in fact my clock says 10:34 at this point)
"Can you please ask a manager since I'm CERTAIN it's after 10:30?"
"No, I cannot.  It's 10:29"
(on my clock it's 10:35 now)
"Fine.  That's all then.   I'll drive around again for the rest."
::pull up to window to pay::
::window person looks at the register::
"It's 10:30.  We're no longer serving breakfast.   Do you want to order something from the lunch menu instead?"

*dies*

Until next time...
