Drive-thru Notes

Yesterday I was going through the McDonalds drive-thru with Brian (Aka 'OR' or 'DaBraan') and my total came to just one cent shy of a full dollar. When paying, at window one, the middle aged man taking my money asked “do you want your penny”, I responded “No thank you, it'll be your tip”. I was trying to be friendly but as I pulled forward I realized.. that poor man might be crying himself to sleep tonight, maybe I should have chosen my words more wisely. My heart goes out to that poor man and I'm sorry for my comment where ever you are!

Two weeks ago I was on lunch break in the Taco Bell drive-thru and I was sitting in front of the “menu-mic” when I was suddenly jolted. A woman behind me had some how managed to 'no-damage-fender-bender' me... she immediately began waving her arms out the window shouting “I'm sorry!.” For some reason I felt bad, probably because only an idiot hits someone in drive-thru, so I waved kindly “It's ok” and then contued silently to myself with a -female driver judging- smirk “moron”. Oh the joys of putting other people down to sustain your own self worth...

Speaking of Taco Bell... if I have to hear them ask me the question “Want any hot, mild or fire sauce?” again, I'm going on a shoot rampage. I get asked when I order, I get asked when I pay, and finally I get asked when I'm picking up my food... is there some kind of addictive molecule put in this stuff to get you to come back? And lastly... why do they say “hot, mild or fire sauce”? Shouldn't it be “mild, hot or fire”? If not simply to legitimize concurrent referencing!?
