| - We have a trade concept here in America whereby the patron pays for an item, and the vendor hands over the item paid for. It's that simple.
And, it works at most places in America, except McDonald's.
At McDonald's, you pay for something at one window and hope to receive it at the next. But McDonald's doesn't believe in this concept.
McDonald's believes in taking your money at one window and at the next, instead of handing over your food, they hand you nothing but a friendly smile and request you pull ahead, saying "We'll bring your order right out when it's ready."
Fundamentally, this concept is wrong on many levels, but for the sake of verbosity, I'll spare you all but two.
First, as I said, I paid for something at the window. I want to leave the window with something other than some Mexican kid smiling at me with his gold-rimmed tooth, asking me in broken english to please pull up.
Second, I beat my ass in traffic to cut-off the car turning left into the drive-thru, and now, that fucker has his food onboard, and is likely picking at his french fries.
While I on the other hand am parked in the penalty zone for ordering something I knew they'd have to make fresh....something I knew they wouldn't have sitting under those little heat lamps for the last two hours.
So I stopped going to McDonalds.
Their sixteen year-old 'managers' AND their 'please pull ahead' concept can suck a big one.
This is why I go to Whataburger.
At Whataburger, I can get their signature burger, 'The Whataburger', (wow...go figure) a coke and large fries for somewhere around eight bucks.
My burger also has lots of mustard, pickles and jalapenos, (on request). All stuff I enjoy.
And, they never ask me to pull ahead. Something I appreciate in a fast-food place.
Whataburger.
Where the only time you'll hear the person at the window ask you to pull ahead is when you take too long rifling through your bags, trying to find some salt for your fries, but are too stoned to locate practically anything.
Note: I love Whataburger so much, I bought one of their baseball caps online. (see photo),
