Dumb People

Ok, maybe I am the dumb person here but if you go through a drive-thru at Mickey D's and order, "an iced tea with one Equal in it" (cuz they don't have the pink stuff there) what would you expect their response to be?

No matter what you say they will ask if there is anything else. You could say, "I only want an iced tea with one Equal in it and that's it... solamente... todo... no mas..." and they would still say, "would you like anything else with it." I thus don't bother signifying the simplicity of the order and instead I play their game and politiely decline anything else.

The last few months the local Mickey D's have been running a new kind of iced tea. I call it southern style but they simply call it "sweet tea." You know if you go to a restaurant down south, as I will do next week, they ALL have both kinds of tea... but not out here in Cali. Down south that sweet tea is hugely popular; or muy popolar as we say in Cali.

Have you ever had sweet tea? It is REALLY sweet. I find it sort of disgusting as it tastes like pure sugar. I got one recently by accident but we were down the road before I took my first sip. Did not drink anymore. Just dumped it out. You defintely have to have southern roots to enjoy that crap. Or maybe be from Utah because I notice they do things a little sweeter out there then I do it.

Anyway, I ordered my tea as I always do and she replied over the loudspeaker, "did you want sweet or unsweetened tea?" I felt like responding, "what the f' do you think I want? Do you really think I want Equal put in SWEET tea? As if it's not f'ing sweet enough let's add some fake sugar so it's sweet and cancer causing!?" F'ing moron.

Ok, that's all I have to say about that.

peace out.
