Occasionally, I find myself in a McDonalds for a breakfast. Not very often but once in a while I indulge myself. While I really can’t stomach their meals I still like stopping in for an occasional breakfast.

As you are likely aware, you need to submit your order in the expected manner or you will need to repeat yourself despite having already given the required information.

Me: “Number 2 combo, medium coffee, (pause to allow for processing) black, to go.”
Woman at the counter: “Large coffee?”
Me: “No thank you, just a medium coffee – black”
Woman at the counter: “Cream and sugar?”
Me: “No, just black”
Woman at the counter: “For here or to go?”
*sigh*

So this morning, I walk in and go up to the counter. I order, following the standard FAIL detailed above and then step aside. Then this hipster doofus walks up and begins to give his order to the same woman who just ignored everything I asked for and guessed, unsuccessfully, at what it was that I actually wanted.

Hipster Doofus: Sausage McGriddle blah, blah, blah (I wasn’t really paying attention) and hands her a credit card for his $4 meal
Hipster Doofus: No! I don’t want sausage. No meat!

Now I don’t think I’ve ever had a Sausage McGriddle but when the item you want removed is in the title of the meal, you should expect some resistance from the staff.

She was totally flustered and required a manager to remove said sausage while the hipster doofus stared ahead blankly as if requesting a sausageless Sausage McMuffin was completely normal.

In the morning…
