McDonald’s And the Nuggets That Weren’t
Okay, so I’m out picking up dinner for the family the other night. It’s the usual once a weekly stop where I head to Chipotle for my wife and I, and swing past McDonald’s on the way home for the kids. Unless there is a near death experience of feast or famine, I usually will forgo the grease, and settle for a burrito. Side note, Chipotle was actually ranked as one of the top 5 healthiest quick eats in the nation. Yes, I know I am just giving an excuse, but it works for me.
So, Chipotle is fine other than the lady in front of me that ordered (and I am not making this up) 6 orders of soft tacos, 2 orders of hard tacos, 1 burrito, and 1 burrito bowl. No problem, the assembly line behind the counter had it down, and they rolled her up out of there in no time. Burrito and tacos (for the wife) were in hand and I was on my way.
I get to McDonald’s only to discover a line wrapped around the building. This happens pretty frequently, and they tend to move fairly quickly. I decided not to go in due to the fact that the last time I tried that sneaky move they gave my order to someone else, and I came out to an empty drive thru line. The line did move quickly which was good. What happened next must only happen in a Hollywood movie, because I’m sure this couldn’t have been happening in real life – other than the fact it was happening to me. I pull up and order the food like such:
Me: “Hello, can I get a double cheeseburger mighty kids meal with no mustard, no pickles, and no onions with a sweet tea. And that is for a boy. Can I also get a cheeseburger kids meal with no mustard, no pickles, and no onions with an apple juice. And that is for a girl.
Idiot behind the mic: “Anything else?”
Me: “Yes, I also need a 4 piece nuggets.”
Idiot behind the mic: “I’m sorry we are out of nuggets.”
Me (looking confused): “Excuse me?”
Idiot behind the mic: “We are out of nuggets, is there anything else?”
Okay, now, at this point there were a few things running through my mind. The most obvious being, how on God’s green earth does McDonald’s run out of chicken mcnuggets??? That’s like Exxon running out of gas – no, wait, that can actually happen. That’s like…Saudi Arabia running out of oil! What moron forgets to order the nuggets?! If that wasn’t enough, guess what happens next? I pull up to the window to pay and I asked this idiot, yes, I did ask her, “Excuse me, but can you tell me how McDonald’s runs out of chicken nuggets?” She looks at me with a straight face and says, “I don’t know, but we ran out on Thanksgiving also”. Wha, wha, wha, what???? You mean…you…forget it. I pulled up, picked up my kids food from the second window and went home to my now cold burrito.
As if there needed to be more proof for the jokes about working at McDonald’s, there is no legitimacy to every one of them!
This blog was not intended to offend any FORMER McDonald’s employees, only the idiots that still work at the one by my house!
