After report card day yesterday, I took the kids to McD’s for breakfast.
Me: I’ll have 3 sets of Breakfast No. 2 please.
Server: Okay. (And a minute later, as if she’s seeing me for the first time!) Yes?
Me: 3 sets of Breakfast No. 2 please with 1 orange juice and 2 tea.
Server: Okay, (punching earnestly into machine) 2 coffee and 1 tea.
Raine
: No, 1 orange juice and 2 tea!
Server: And your order?
Me
: Breakfast No. 2!
Server: What’s Breakfast No. 2?
Me
: Sausage McMuffin with Egg.
(I was tempted to say, “Look, there’s a huge menu signboard behind you with even better than outdoor home lighting and you’re asking me?!!)
Server: How many sets?
Me
: Three!!
I took a good look at the young lady serving us.
- She looks to be 20, not 85.
- She has stud earrings on, not headphones.
- The clock on the wall says 10:42am, not 4:12am.
- There are no good-looking hunks within a 6-mile radius of where we’re standing.
Pinch me, somebody! This is not really happening!!



















Geeze I hate McDonalds anymore. They ALWAYS get our order wrong, or forget something. I mean you have to have a job so you may as well do your best,Right? Its like the cashiers resent waiting on you…
I could feel my left eye twitching just reading this, I always have to remind myself that patience is a virtue. I went to the drive-thru once at McDs and they asked if it was for “here or to go” oye vey
did you get the right breakfasts?
also i love it when your spam protection has me add up numbers that don’t require me to count on my fingers. math is not my strong suit.

We got the right breakfasts, yes but SHE wasn’t the one who put the sets together
I have a great solution: don’t go to McDonald’s
Scary though… maybe you should have ice water ready in your car to WAKE THE GIRL UP next time you drive through a MD…
She must have been staying up late to watch World Cup…hahahhhahahahaha
