Several things this go-around:
I got breakfast from McDonald’s the other day. Kind of a spur of the moment thing. Ordered an egg sandwich and milk. I pulled around to the drive-in window and the teen standing in the window said, “Do you want the milk in a bag?”
“No,” I deadpanned, “I’d prefer it in a carton.”
“Okay,” he said tonelessly.
“Because, y’know, it’d probably soak right through the bag.”
“Okay.” Same night-of-the-living-dead voice.
“I was joking.”
“Okay. Here you go,” he said, never having registered anything I’d said. He handed me the bagged food. “Enjoy your meal.”
Never bother to kid around with McDonald’s drive-up window people at 7:15 in the morning. Complete waste of time.
