#The adventures of Jackie and the McDonald's drive thru

*editors note - there is swearing in this post. I'm very passionate about the topics at hand.


Ray Charles is in town.

So I spent part of my Friday night with him and my wifey.

And in typical form we ate greasy food, built gingerbread houses and watched high school musical.

I just sang the words high school musical, by the way.

And I actually only ate greasy food. I got there right as they were finishing high school musical and I laid on the couch doing nothing but demanding icing that tasted like play doh when they were building the gingerbread house.

But this is not a post about ginger bread houses and terrible movies.

This is a post about the best adventure/worst experience ever at a McDonald's Drive Thru.

It all started because we wanted ice cream, and we decided on McDonald's ice cream over Dairy Queen. Biggest mistake. 

We pulled up to the drive thru and the lady says "Welcome to McDonald's..blahblah can I take your order?"

And my wifey (who drove) leans out the window and says "Um yes, can I get a regular smarties McFlurry?"

Drive Thru Lady - "Regular Oreo McFlurry?"
Wifey - "No, a regular smarties McFlurry!"
Drive Thru Lady - "Regular Oreo McFlurry?"
Wifey - "No! Not Oreo!! SMARTIES! A regular SMARTIES McFlurry?"
Drive Thru Lady - "Oreo?"
Wifey - "NO!! SMARTIES!!"
Drive Thru Lady - "Please pull up to the window."

Then we had to go on an adventure to FIND the window. Because that McDonald's had about 12. And she was at the last one.

I actually think they had 3.

Details.

So we pull up and the conversation goes like this:

Drive Thru Lady - "What would you guys like?"
Wifey - "A regular SMARTIES McFlurry!"
Drive Thru Lady - "Ohhhhh Smarties!"
Wifey - "Yes. And also a regular rolo McFlurry and a hot fudge sundae with nuts."
Drive Thru Lady - "That costs *insert dollar amount here*"
Wifey - paid for it cause she's our suga mama.

We sat in the car and sang some awful top 40 music (sorry wifey) and danced around like 16 years olds with brand new licenses.

And we waited.

And waited. 

We heard the beeping thing going off inside the window that yells at the staff because we've been waiting for a long ass time.

And no joke 12 MINUTES LATER she walks up to the window with 2 McFlurries in hand. She opens the window and says:

"We ran out of rolo so I made you an Oreo McFlurry."

WHAT IS THIS WOMAN'S OBSESSION WITH FUCKING OREO MCFLURRIES?!?!

Ray looks displeased and says "Um. Can I actually just get another Smarties McFlurry instead?"

And drive thru lady hands us the one smarties McFlurry shuts the window then walks away.

7 minutes later she walks back with a smarties McFlurry. Which is really a cup of ice cream with a few smarties on top. I don't even think she put an effort into making it look like she mixed it.

And poor wifey has nothing so she says "Can I also please get my hot fudge sundae with nuts?"

And drive thru lady says "Ohhh yes." and shuts the window and walks away.

4 minutes later she comes back with a hot fudge sundae - sans nuts. Wifey laughs and says "Can I please have nuts?" Drive thru lady shuts the window and returns promptly with a package of nuts.

We pull away and wifey looks at her package of nuts and bursts out laughing.

"She gave me granola."

Me and Ray were like "go back in!! Get yo nuts Kixy!"

So wifey walks into the McDonalds (where there was nobody by the way. There was nobody there the whole time we were waiting in the drive thru. There was no reason for us to be there for 23 minutes. Literally, I feel like we should have gotten some free nuggets or something.) and comes back out laughing more.

She gets into the car, with her packages of nuts and says that she told the lady at the counter that she was just in the drive thru and asked for nuts but got granola.

The lady got her a package of nuts then turned to drive thru lady held up a package of nuts and the package of granola and said "SERIOUSLY JACKIE! These are nuts. This is granola."

End Scene.
