Man, some people just don't think...

So - anyone who knows me knows I have one vice, Diet Toxic Sludge (a.k.a. Diet Coke). I don't drink coffee, and after breakfast I usually get one to get my day started. So, right now McD's has a special going on - Extra Large soda for .69. Awesome! 44 oz. of heaven for less than a buck.

So this morning I hit the drive thru and place my order. I pull up to the window and the brainiac hands me a standard large cup. I tell her I ordered an extra large, and she says "Yeah, but we are out of extra large cups." Now this wouldn't really be an issue, except if I hadn't questioned it, she would've given me the soda without a word. Why in the name of all that is holy would she not simply say when I placed my order "I am sorry, but we are out of extra large cups. I will give you a large for the same price...." Common courtesy. What a concept!

The problem is they aren't trained to think only flip burgers and take orders, and unfortunately it seems that almost all fast food workers have to give their brain to the person that hires them, or maybe when they decide that working at a fast food place is the best job they can get their brain turns to mush, or it is just the effects of too much fast food on the brain? Someone needs to do a study stat and make sure to get government funding for it because I definitely want my tax dollars to go to this study. :rolleyes:

Was it a standard or a large cup?

You should have been offered 1 large and 1 small or whatever the eff combo of cups would equal a !@$#& 44 ounces.
