Had (and I do mean HAD) to stop at a McDonald's drive through for food yesterday. Sadly, my slightly less unhealthy meal was going to take a little while to cook, so I had to wait in the "Grill Order" bay.

Two things struck me;

1. People think it's perfectly OK to park behind you and block you in.
2. People park in the bays and eat meals there... even when the rest of the car park is empty.

Anyway, to cut a long story short the little chap from McD's came out and promptly gave my meal to the wrong car. Who duly accepted it and drove off at speed. He then delivered to me a bag of French Fries.

The conversation went as follows;

Me "What's this?"
McD "What you ordered."
Me "No, this is what I ordered." - I gave him my receipt.
McD "Oh, I just gave it to that guy."
Me "Ah. Well, that's not good. Can I have my meal please."
McD "He's got it. The bloke who drove off."
Me "Because you gave it to him."
McD "Oh, right." (long pause) "What should I do?"
Me "Get me the meal I ordered."
McD "Right." - Then he stands there at my window for about ten seconds.
Me "What?"
McD "How much was it?"
Me "My meal? A lot more than a back of fries. Why?"
McD, as if he's realised I should pay again, "Oh! Nothing. I guess I should get you another one."
Me "Please, yeah."

Five minutes he comes back and looks at another car. Which prompts me to wind the window down and say "Hi, is that for me?"
McD "Oh, yeah. Cool."

Gives me the food, I thank him (I'm polite) and then her just stands and looks at me. As though I'm meant to complete a questionaire or something.
Me "OK, I'm going to leave now. Thanks".

Which finally prompts him to move away and I can pull out.

How odd was that. Do you think he's been eating too much of their product and he's ended up burger stupid.
