i had a tantrum at a mcdonald's drive through yesterday.
speaker/microphone: hi sir! what can i get you?
me: i will have one fillet of fish, six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice.
speaker/microphone: can i make that a happy meal deal for you sir?
me: no. i will have one fillet of fish, and six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice i said.
speaker/microphone: yes sir, but i can make that a happy meal for you
me: so will i get precisely what i ordered in a "happy meal"?
speaker/microphone: no you will get 9....
me: ok i do not want a happy meal!! shall i run through the list again?
speaker/microphone: but a happy meal deal will....
me: right. so i can not order what i want individually. is that correct?!?!
speaker/microphone: well yes you can but...
me: ok i will try again then!! i will have one fillet of fish, and six nuggets with sweet and sour sauce and a medium fanta with no ice.
speaker/microphone: err but with a happy meal deal you can....
me: so no go then?!?! forget it! i will go somewhere else!!
there were cars in front of me, so i mounted the concrete slab to the side of the lane i was in and breached it scraping the bottom of my car, and i sped off in disgust.
it seems i can only order predefined "meal deals" there now, and i can not ask for what i want in an itemized fashion.
what is the world coming to?
