I’m a Sir… not a ma’am
I kid you not someone said this to me at a drive through window this week….
I went to McDonald’s for lunch on Tuesday, and I always go through the drive thru. This particular McDonald’s has one of those double drive thru’s.
a side note on this: It took me a while to master this and some people still don’t get it in Des Moines. Apparently not all of us were taught to take turns growing up.
Anyways, back to the original story… The order taker comes on and it’s one of those pre-recorded voices asking you to buy the special of the day. I swear it was a girl’s voice. I said no thank you can I have a number 6 instead. Got the usual which size fries and which kind of soft drink. The order taker finished told me my total and said pull ahead. At NO POINT in this conversation did I say Sir or Ma’am. I SWEAR!!!!!
I get to the first window and hand the check out GUY my cash. He takes the money and gives me the receipt, and then says, “By the way I’m a Sir NOT a Ma’am, you called me a Ma’am at the order board”. I was at a loss for words at this point..
First of all who the F cares just take the money and let the other 33 cars behind me get their orders and be done. Second of all quit playing the girls voice recording then, it confuses people. I blinked my eyes and looked up and him and said, (without missing a beat) “I’m sorry but I don’t recall saying this… either way you aught to be happy I was F’N polite to you in the first place.”
I pulled up to the next window and picked up my order. The whole thing just freaked me out, so I’m avoiding that McDonald’s for awhile. Besides I’m on a chicken kick lately and there’s a perfectly good KFC next door.
PS… do not tell my man that I was at McDonald’s and didn’t bring home a cheeseburger for him
Man’s Rules: Wifey cannot go to a hamburger joint and NOT bring home the owner of the most awesome gun show ME… a cheeseburgers, preferably several.
