McDonalds

today I wanted to go by McDonalds before school to get some food (duh!) and here's what happened.

Yes, I got my food - after I embarrassed myself and others...

The guy washing windows was washing the drive thru window. My window was open, and he's close enough for me to casually talk, but (here's the awkward part and embarassing part) He kept at his thing without looking back at me. I kinda wish I said something, but I have nothing to say. I'm barely talkative at school, why would I be talkative with strangers? So he continued for a couple of minutes, until the manager came outside and told him "Wait til they finish serving before you wash these windows." Manager didn't say hi to me either and I don't mind it, but it was just awkward. The guy walked away without looking over, The manager went bck inside, seeing how he did what he came out to do, and that that.

Then the guy getting my food came to get my money for the order. It was $3.18. I figured ok, so it wasn't the 5 dollars I'd though it was so I put two dollars back and kept the three with me. Then I was like, "hmm i have enough pennies to cover the 8 cents of the 18 and then I'll just take back whatever exact change he gives." logical right? Yea, if you're doing all this thinking in a minute and waiting awkwardly thinking about the window washer just being there.

So I paid and the guy was like, hey, this is only 8 cents, you need 18 cents. Now, at this point I still didn't realize I needed $4 with the 8 cents to get change back. I kinda just went with it. So i said ok, yea, I know, I only have the 8 cents." He just went back inside and gathered stuff. It was then I realized oh shit, I need to give him another dollar! So when he opened back up to give me my food, I asked if he needed another dollar for exact change.  He gave me a weird look and said "No, I..I can open the drawer and count." Then closed the window on me. I waited for a bit since usually they come out the window twice or something. IDK, it was early and I wasn't thinking.

The manager came out and asked "What are you waiting on? Food?" and without waiting for an answer he asked the worker and he said "I gave it to her." I realized I had the bag in my car, and he probably just took off the 10 cents and the receipt was in the bag, so I said, "Sorry, I do have the food, thank you! Bye." and started off.

But not before hearing the manager tell the guy, "You need to let them know you're done! Say thank you or..."


Well, I felt bad, and I embarrassed myself twice and got the kid working there in trouble. But I guess that's actually part of the job. I guess it's out of habit you don't leave until you get some sort of "good bye" or "have a nice day." Makes you think huh?

I didn't get my receipt in the end. I only got food, but whatever.
