My Conversation With the McDonalds™ Drive Thru

I usually try to be very nice, very efficient, and very clear with my drive through orders; I always have. But, they usually go like this:

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Can I take your order?

Me: Hi, I'd like to buy one six-piece Chicken Nugget™ Happy Meal™.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Boy toy or girl toy and what drink?

Me: Huh? Uh, I'll Have the Legion of Superheros™ toy, please. And apple juice.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Huh? Boy toy or girl toy?

Me: I'm reading this right off your menu, we want the "Legion of Superheros™" toy, thanks.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Do you have a boy or a girl?

Me: What does that matter? Your menu indicates that for this promotion period we get either the Build-A-Bear™ workshop or the Legion of Superheros™ toy with the Happy Meal™. My child wants the Legion of Superheors toy. It's completely irrelevant what sex child I have. In fact, maybe I don't have a child, maybe it's for my elderly grandmother or maybe it's for me. In fact, we were kind of thinking that maybe a boy could want the Build-A-Bear™ workshop and a girl could possibly, just possibly, want the Legion of Superheros™ toy. In fact, my child was really excited that you had the Legion of Superheros™ toy. We don't roll that way; boy stuff and girl stuff.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Hold on....

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: What kind of drink?

Me: Apple juice, please.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Anything else?

Me: Yes, we'll have one Fruit & Walnut snack™, please.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Fruit salad?

Me: No, I'm reading this verbatim from your menu, one "Fruit & Walnut snack™", thanks.

McDonalds™ Drive Thru: Five thirty-seven, next window, please.
