February 05, 2002 :: "Do fries go with that memory-lapse?"

Ever get a craving for some food you haven’t had in a very long time? Don’t ask me why, but for some odd reason I had the worst craving for French fries and a chocolate shake. So, for the first time in many years, I went to McDonalds.

The ordering process was excrutiating. I was instantly reminded one major reason that I never venture there: the zero training policy.

Bored Cashier: “Umm yeah. can I get you something?”
Me: “Yes please. I’d like a large fry and a chocolate shake.”

Bored Cashier: “Umm. Hole on. Wait. Uh what? A fries?”
Me: “Yes.”

Bored Cashier: “Fries. What size you want?”
Me: “Large please.”

Bored Cashier: “Large fries. Is that with ... a meal?”
Me: “No sir. Am I being vague?”

Bored Cashier: “Huh? What was the other thing you wants?”
Me: “A chocolate shake. Large, if that helps.”

Bored Cashier: “A choc ... lit shake. [punching keys] What kind of chocolate shake you want? Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry?”
Me: “Are you being serious? Did you hear what you just said?”

Bored Cashier: “Umm... no.”
Me: “You said, A chocolate shake. What kind of chocolate shake you want? Chocolate, vanilla or strawberry?”

Bored Cashier: “Man I was just asking! ... Oh. Yeah. Duh! Sorry man.”
Me: “It’s OK really.”

Bored Cashier: “So ... do you want a fries or anything with this?”

He said. She said. There’s 20 Comments

Awww... it's so nice to see they're hiring people with metal disabilities these days :)

There's a fine line of difference between a Bored Cashier and a Stoned Out of His Mind Cashier, but the effect is about the same, I suppose.

Okay you made me laugh so hard I shook the baby all up. I could sue.

I guess it's all a matter of context, really. The best meal I ever had was at a McDonald's in Innsbruck. It was as if the ancient idea that every material object were merely copied from a celestial ideal were true, and they had just given me the ideal cheeseburger.

Don’t get out much do ya Jason?

Sorry Melly! I’d sing to your tummy to calm your baby, but I don’t know how calming Aphex Twin is.

Reminds me of the time we went to Pizza Hut and the guy asks us, "How many slices would you like your pizza cut into?"
"What're the choices?" we asked.
"Well, we can cut it into 8 pieces, or if you're real hungry, 12."
To which my brother replied, "No, we're not that hungry. Don't cut it at all."

Sorry 'bout that. As you can see, I tried to edit it and pushed the wrong button. (Kicks herself in the butt.)

Sniff. I'm so embarrassed. My computer's just really slow this morning. Maybe I can get it a job at McD's.
leslier :: 05 February, 2002 09:44 AM

Do you want fries with that shaky hand Leslier?
Amy Allen :: 05 February, 2002 10:02 AM

I must already be fried, Amy. :)
leslier :: 05 February, 2002 11:25 AM

God bless america.

Did that baked fast-food dude really say "a fries" or was it "uh, fries"?
Jerry Kindall :: 05 February, 2002 04:02 PM

A Fries. Sad.
Davezilla :: 05 February, 2002 04:38 PM

my favourite:

"I'd like some fries, please"

"Some fries with that?"

"..."

McDonald's always seems like a good idea at the time.
