Enjoy Your Meal, Sir!

What a great day to start the end of the work-week!

I went to McDonald's with two of my friends to grab something to eat. After ordering and getting what I ordered for, my friend, who was behind me, took his turn to order.

"One Raging Chicken Burger."

"Sir, I'm sorry, we don't serve that until after 10 am. We only serve breakfast at this time."

"OK, then. Never mind."

And so he turned his back and we were about to leave when...

"Thank you sir! Enjoy your meal!"

What the hell was that? What meal is there to enjoy? Raging Air Burger? Is everything in McDonald's pre-programmed? I mean, it really gave me a good laugh, and on a Friday morning! It's like how they say, "Twenty, your change sir!" Doesn't it sound weird? They could say, "Your change sir is twenty... one... two... three....... twenty! Thank you sir, enjoy your meal!"

We did ENJOY our walk back to the office sans the meal. Thanks to the robotesque cashiers of McDonald's.

well u really can't blame them cashiers, dude. sometimes, these pre-programmed customer service scripts just come out subconciously even before they realize what those words really meant. they were trained to sound polite rather than be flexible. i would guess... just my 2 cents. :) but of course, that still counts as a good laugh anyhow. :P
