I have quite a few pet peeves, as we've covered through past posts. But today, I've discovered a new one.
I was in McDonald's today, and no I wasn't on one of my infamous failed dates (those happen at KFC!). When I went to go fill my beverage cup with ice tea and delicious Minute Maid lemonade (endorsement deal? Wink Wink), a woman was standing right in front of the soda fountain. It was fine that she was filling her cup with ice and soda. But then she continued blocking the fountain to other patrons while putting tops on top of her cups and then unwrap, what seemed like, fifty straws.
Isn't there some sort of courtesy rule when it comes to the soda fountain? I thought a guy was suppose to fill their cup with ice (if needed), dispense their choice of drink, and then slide over to pop on a top and grab a straw.
But what about McDonald's? Maybe they aren't aware of the rule since they have the covers and straws above the fountain. But other businesses know about it. Casey's General Store has their drink add-ons on a separate table. Culvers store theirs across from the fountain as does Wendy's and Subway. So why doesn't McDonald's, the number one fast food restaurant? Are they unwilling to follow the unwritten rules of America? Or do they like to make their customers wait? Have you been to a McDonald's lately? A guy has to put in his order right away, yet stand in line for their ice cream cone for twenty minutes!! I could've made my own ice cream in that time!!
But in case you were not aware, YES! Yes, there is a rule of courtesy. So if I'm standing in line behind you, you better have your drink Maid in a Minute or less (stupid pun)
That's it for me!
