Thank you, drive through...

Today the J man and I were out in the middle of nowhere when we wanted to get some lunch. Since Monopoly has returned at McDonald's, we wanted to stop there. Last year I won a free year of Netflix by eating way too much McDonald's, so I figure I need to give it another shot.

When we got to the McDonald's it was around 1:30 or 2, so we didn't expect much of a crowd. We walked in and were horrified to see the situation: 1 cashier -- 10 customers in one line. If it were not for Monopoly, we probably would have walked right out of there and into Wendy's (and that is saying a lot because I hate Wendy's [they put mayo on everything and they don't melt their cheese]). Facing the prospect of waiting a good 10-15 minutes to get "fast" food, we decided to pull off the greatest move in McDonald's history.

We got back in the van, went through the drive thru, got our food, parked, and went back inside McDonald's to eat. The woman who was originally in front of us in line was still about 7 people deep. Score! Plus, they tried to get cheap on us with the McNugget sauces at the drive thru (in other words, even though I got a 5 piece chicken selects and the J man got a 10 piece nuggets, they didn't give us any sauces... bitches) so we had to go back in.

Eat that, understaffed McDonald's!
