I went to McDonalds today.  Only because I am the only one here, and I thought I would give myself a little treat, and not have to decide what to make for lunch.  So I went there.  I even went through the drive-thru, which was probably my first mistake.  No, my first mistake would have been going to McDonald’s.

So, they are still serving breakfast, which was fine.  It was 10:45, but breakfast would be OK.  I ordered a McSkillet Burrito.  I had never had one, so thought I would try it.  The cashier asked me if I would like something to drink, so I said water, because I didn’t want coffee, and I didn’t want to pay MORE for OJ or pop.  She asked if I would like a ‘bottle’ of water.  No, I just want some water in a cup.  She said they can’t do that.  How about coffee that hasn’t been run through the coffee maker I thought, but didn’t say.

I should have just canceled the order right then.  I didn’t really NEED the food. But I didn’t. The cashier told me when I paid that their ‘computer system’ would not allow her to do that.  So I wondered, did the computer system keep people from putting water into a cup and giving it to me?  No, I don’t think so!  Apparently, the cost of the cup is prohibitive.  But wait, I paid for a cup of coffee.  I just wanted WATER in it instead of coffee!  AFGHH!

When I picked up my food, I was asked once again if I would like the coffee.  No, I would like a coffee cup, with water in it.  Sorry, can’t do that! 

But hey, they did give me EIGHT napkins.  Apparently no shortage of those.
