Maccas Madness

Well, well, well. I haven't really posted up anything wierd or funny recently. In fact, I haven't really posted much at all. So here is a little segment to tie off those who have been watching my website and have been bitterly disappointed with its rate of updates.

So there I was at the Maccas drive-through, just entered, and noticed that the car in front of me had left the ordering window and just shot straight through. Didn't even bother to stop at the collections window. Odd, but not entirely abnormal... I guess. So anyway, without dwelling on this further I continued on.

Next, I was hovering outside the ordering window in my car. A kid. He was playing around with the electronic cashier in front of him and looked quite lost. He looked as though he was pressing way too many buttons for normality. It was just a bit odd. "Just a minute, be with you in a sec" was the first words that came out. Alrighty then. Time to fiddle with the change and get the required amount ready.

Medium six-nuggets meal. That's what I was thinking. Some more kids entered the ordering booth, and a quick conversation followed - still while the first kid was pressing away on the electronic cashier.

Some kid - "What happened with that lady? She just drove through."
Button pressing kid - "She didn't have enough money"
Some kid - "Really?"
Button pressing kid - "Yep. Not enough"

That was the entirety of the conversation, fairly riveting stuff. Now it was time to order. Good. I ordered the medium nuggets meal and then paid the required amount. "Thanks, and have a nice day" was the closing statement from the Maccas kid.

Now the collections window was where it was at. Here the intrigue begins. I pull up to the window and look through. More kids. Wow. Looks like it's the day where all the young 'uns come out to work. Good on them, though. Much better than sitting at home playing computer games or watching TV all day.

Looking about the place I notice that there is a chain of drinks next to the drinks dispenser. All large, and presumably, all Cokes. (The drink, nothing more). Kids everywhere. More kids were having a bit of a discussion and then I heard "just give it to him". Soon enough a large Coke was given to me. Riiiiiiiight. Can't complain, I guess.

So I thought that i'd get a free upsize - something like that. Oh no! What did I end up getting? A bag full of burgers and fries. Errr.... what the? It got even more interesting. The kid at the collections window told me to wait in the waiting bay. I diligently did so, hoping that my nuggets will arrive in the next batch. Nope.

After a couple of minutes the collection window kid came out with another bag full of goodies. Absolutely packed. Chips, Quarter Pounders, Big Macs, you name it. Bloody strange. "Thank you and sorry about the wait" is what was said to me. OMG.

So off I went home with about 4 packets of chips and a dozen burgers. No nuggets. Damn kids. LOL. An interesting adventure indeed.
