SO I was out running errands as lunch time approached. There before me was the local (sole surviving) Wendy's. In an uncharacteristic move I turned into the drive thru lane. My eyes were immediately assaulted by the digital menu boards. No they were not playing *ox News it was worse, far, far, worse. They were displaying the combos and pricing I gasped and thought to jump the curb and drive on but at that moment a cop car pulled in behind me.
I heard a voice cry out "May I take your order?". I said I would like a single cheeseburger with no pickle, an order of fries, and a frosty. "What size fries?" intoned the box. "Medium" "OK, chocolate or vanilla frosty"? asked the box "Chocolate" and I added "medium" for good measure. "Ok, that will be Seven-sixty* at the first window, pull up." droned the box.
I pulled up to the first window and a hand jumped out at me to take my cash and give me change. At the next window another hand shot out and thrust a bag at me. I ate the swill on my ride home having to leave the car windows open to air out the stench of the french fries. Their smell lasts for days if you don't have an air freshener and leave the windows up.
* Full disclosure: The amount paid includes our NH meals tax of $0.61 and the receipt inside the bag included an unreadable web page to take a brief survey (like that would ever happen, I know the owner's mom!!
)
ETA: I rated the original bouncy 0 bong.
