I Should Have Known Better

This morning when I woke up I realized that we did not have any milk in the house. I had been drinking Carnation instant breakfast for the last week, because I rant out of Strawberry and Cream Oatmeal that I had been having for the last three months. I told Joe I was leaving early so that I can get some breakfast, when I asked him where I should go Starbucks or McDonald's? He said McDonald's and after a short debate, I decided to go with his suggestion. I pulled up to one of those dual drive-through that merge to one line (seen here) http://www.humzoo.com/daveheinzel/photos/5/8/
and I put my put my order in as a Number 11 (bacon, egg and cheese bagel with a hashbrown) and a sweet tea, he told me "$4.88 at your first window". When I pulled up to the drive through, I realized it was the same McDonald's that Courtney Heinzel had blogged about previously

Suffice it to say I had a hard time keeping myself from laughing. When he opened the window he says "That will be $5.89, please" I looked questioningly at him and said "I thought you told me $4.88?" He replied, "Oh yeah, sorry. You have a 20 right? How much change would that make?" I told him $15.12, so obliged and I went on to the next window. When I arrived there everything had stopped!! It was mass chaos that they had the wrong order. I told them what I was supposed to have and they handed it over, crisis averted. When I arrived at work, I took a sip of my drink and low and behold, it was a soda, Pepsi. Those that know me, know I dislike dark syrup sodas with a passion. So, I gave it to a coworker. I could not leave my desk once I was at work, so one of the gals I work with said she would run back and get my sweet tea. I am not sure what she said, but they gave her a sweet tea for free, in an effort to make it right. Thanks McDonald's for making breakfast an event, not just a meal!
P.S. I will be grocery shopping this weekend.
