It's no secret to anyone who knows me very well that McDonalds is by and large my favorite fast food restaurant to eat at. I've been known to eat there several times a week on many, many occasions, especially now that they have transitioned over to the all white chicken breast meat for the famous chicken nuggets.
Well, about 3 weeks ago, Holly and I were going through the drive-thru at the McDonalds on Freedom Blvd. here in Provo, when something completely unexpected took place. Something I had never even thought possible. You see, I always get the same thing at McDonalds, the #9 Value Meal in the large size with Hi-C Orange to drink. Unfortunately for me that day, McDonalds had pulled a fast one on me. I present the almost entirely verbatim exchange between myself and the drive-thru person for your enjoyment:
McDonalds Employee: "Welcome to McDonalds, what can I make for you today?"
Caleb: "I would like a #9, large size with Hi-C Orange for the drink."
McDonalds Employee: "Would you like that with the 3-piece or the 5-piece, sir?"
Caleb: "What?"
McDonalds Employee: "The Chicken Selects meal is available in 3-piece or 5-piece."
Caleb: "I'm confused, I don't want the Chicken Selects meal, I want the... oh, you went and changed the numbers on me, what did you do that for?"
McDonalds Employee: ... silence
Caleb: "I want the 10-piece chicken nuggets, so a #10, large size, with Hi-C Orange to drink."
McDonalds Employee: "Okay, please pull forward."
Talk about extremely disorienting. Holly always makes fun of me for being "large and in charge" when I go through the drive-thru, but this time I was a bumbling idiot because I never actually read the sign anymore, it has been the same for 10 years or something. Why on earth would you go and change something like that? Now, whenever I go, I have to sit and think about it to make sure I don't screw it up again.
