Not So Fast Food.

[Canary42]

I was in the *McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the woman behind me beeped at me and gave me the middle finger because I was taking to long to order.

So I paid for her food.

[fiction-factory]

Er, is there not some more?

[Denton]

Eh?

[Tilly2]

I don't get that joke.

Ooops - Sorry, I had put an emoticon in which for some reason terminated the text. Here is the full version (I hope).

I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the woman behind me beeped at me and gave me the middle finger because I was taking to long to order.

So I paid for her food.

I moved up and she leaned out the window looking all embarrassed at me because the worker told her I had paid for her food.

When I got to the second window to get my food, I showed them both receipts and took her food too!

I paid for it, it’s mine! Now she has to go round again and be delayed even longer.

That's better Canary.

Yes, this story has done the rounds before and I was never able to work out how the cashier knows what to charge him for her food she hasn't yet ordered. Unless there are 3 windows-one to order, one to pay, one to collect

[Trevilino]

There are three stages ff. Order at the microphone. Pay at the first window and collect at the 2nd window.

Thanks. It's so long ago since I last did a drive through I mis-remembered. Seems a bit of a cumbersome system I these days when contactless is probably the norm at drive throughs but it would spoil the joke
