And That’s An Order, Mister

GeekMan enters a Wendi MacKing fast food restaurant.

Terminally Perky Cashier: “Hello and welcome to Wendi MacKing’s! May I take your order?”
Confident GeekMan: “Sure. This order is to go. I’d like a medium number three value meal, and for my drink I’ll have an iced tea, please.”
Concentrating Perky Cashier: “Would you like fries with that order?”
Surprised GeekMan: “I thought a value meal came with fries?”
Clueless Perky Cashier: “They do.”
Confused GeekMan: “Uh, I ordered a value meal… so…”
Chastising Perky Cashier: “Sir, you ordered a hamburger and a coke. If you wanted a value meal you should have ordered a value meal.”

GeekMan and stranger standing behind him on line share an amused, yet questioning look.

Forgiving GeekMan: “OK. How about we just change that order to what I thought I had asked for before?”
Frustrated Perky Cashier: “Fine.
Saintly GeekMan: “I’d like a medium number three value meal, and for my drink I’ll have an iced tea. Please.”
Special Ed. Perky Cashier: “Would you like a Coke with your value meal?”
Flabbergasted GeekMan: “I thought I asked for an iced tea?”
Angry Perky Cashier: “Don’t yell at me, sir.”
Amazed GeekMan: “I didn’t yell.”
Bitchy Perky Cashier: “Sir, if you don’t calm down and give me your order, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
Martyr GeekMan: “OK. Fine. I’m not yelling. I would just like to have my number three value meal and my iced tea to go so I can get back to work. Please.”
Asking For It Perky Cashier: “And is this order to stay or to go?”
Giving It GeekMan: “You know, I think I just figured out the problem here. I think that you can’t understand what I’m saying because the flow of blood to your head has been cut off by your far-too-tightly-tied training bra in your futile effort to make those mosquito bites you call breasts more enticing to the acne-infested loser you call the ‘manager’ of this fine establishment and whom you’ve been giving hand jobs to in the managers office in the hopes of getting a raise, right? Right?”

Stranger behind GeekMan laughs out loud and moves to another line.

Wide-Eyed & Shocked Perky Cashier: “…”
Pissed-Off GeekMan: “Where’s my order?”
Frightened Perky Cashier: “Here’syourmediumnumberthreevaluemealsir. Andyouricedteatogosir. Thankyouandhaveaniceday!”
Smug & Happy GeekMan: “Damn right.”

GeekMan leaves Wendi MacKings to thunderous applause.
