So on the way into work today, I decided that I was really really hungry. This condition of hunger was a direct result of having soup for lunch and for dinner. Soup is a good foodstuff, but it is typically fairly thin and easily digestible. In other words, it leaves the eater of soup un-satisfied fairly quickly. Last night I went to bed prior to the onset of he un-satisfaction, so when I awoke this morning, my stomach was eating itself.
Anyway... I was hungry on the way into work today, so I decided that McDonald's would be a fine, if not healthy, breakfast for me this wonderful Tuesday morning. I ordered my usual number 1 extra value meal, threw in a sausage biscuit, and got a large coke for good measure. The total, as always, for my un-healthy yet filling breakfast is an even 5 smackers. I am cashless, so I will pay with my handy dandy little debit card (whoever came up with the idea of a debit card is a genius). I pull up to the first window to pay and hand the nice English-is-a-second-language worker my card so that I might be able to obtain my food. There were some issues communicating between the woman working the drive through and myself. She seems to be a very nice lady, but English is clearly not the strongest language that she knows. Makes me wonder how little English the other workers knew to put her on the drive through. She had to ask me my order a few times over the speaker, and I had to give my order a few times as well. It all worked out in the end, so it was no skin off my back. She apologized profusely for the communication "breakdown" (as it were), but she really did not have to. She was polite the entire time, and I think both of us were laughing a bit when everything was said and done.
Anyway... she informs me that they do not have a card machine that is currently working and asked if I had cash. I am not a proud man, but if I had $5, I would not use a card for $5. When I have cash on hand, I try to use the cash. I let her know that I did not indeed have the $5 in question as cash, and she said," Go on to second window, I give it to you."
BOOOOO-FRIKKIN'-Yah!! BABAY!!!! Free food in the morning! Woooooo-hooooooo!
(I did mention that I was not a proud man, didn't I?)
I am still having soup for lunch though.
