Taking the Mc out of McDonalds
For this past week I have been going to McDonald's for breakfast. I usually order the scrambled eggs and apple slices to supplement my high protein and low carb diet. It works pretty well. Usually I wash it down with unsweetened iced tea. That does it! It's not that complicated. It's not to much to ask.
This week, however, there seems to be a problem at McDonalds. For the first two days of the week they didn't have iced tea! Yea, I know. It's some kinda torture. I thought I didn't hear the obnoxious lady on the speaker tell me that they didn't have iced tea as she interrupted the flow of my order. So I said, "I'd like a large unsweetened iced tea!" I said it slowly because some people cannot tell the difference between unsweet and sweetened tea. But that's another story for another day. So any how, after she interrupted my litany of breakfast, she rocked my early morning routine. In fact, she blew it out the water. "No tea?" I asked. "No tea," she said in a cruel way. No explanation, just a stark reality thrusted on me so early. "How can this be? That's utter blasphemy." I thought to myself. "McDonald's and no tea is like hamburgers at a Mexican Restuarant. It's just not right!"
So I ordered coffee with five creams instead. Not the consolation I was looking for. It served its purpose. I drove away in a fog-like dream. "Is this really happening?" I thought as I pinched myself and then slapped myself in the face. Reality is tough in the morning, especially without a cup of Orange Pekot Tea.
The next day, I went to McDonald's without a care in the world. I was looking forward to some iced tea, scrambled eggs, and 2 bags of apple slices. I was abruptly halted in mid-order again. "No iced tea!" The annoying lady blurted out. This time I was beyond offended. "What? What's going on? Why don't you have any tea?" The voice changed to a more apologetic tone. "The machine is broken," a kinder, gentler lady retorted. "Well somebody best be fixin' it!" I thought to myself. "Oh, okay!" I said in a rather bland way.
