What the World Really Needs.

I know, I know, Dusty Springfield sang,"What the world needs is Love, Sweet Love, but I really think what the world needs is A Happy Meal.
I stopped at the local Tim Hortons drive through this morning to place my order for a breakfast sandwich. When asked, I told the nice young girl that I would like a breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheese. I got my order, pulled away, and then opened it to find that I had received a breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheese but there was no egg.
Back through the drive through I went, into the long line, to sit and wait. Trying to explain what happened over those stupid speaker things was a nightmare so after several futile attempts, I just drove ahead to the window where a real person was.
I told the girl my breakfast sandwich had bacon and cheese but no egg. She rather haughtily told me, I needed to be more specific. If I had wanted egg, I should have said that. Well Ok, said I, I have ordered these before and always the same way and always got an egg. Well she said, she didn't know about that.
So I asked well what would have happened if I had ordered just a breakfast sandwich, if thats all I had said, would I just have gotten two biscuit halves stuck together without anything in between. I wouldn't know she said hottily and handed me the sandwich. I drove away thinking IF I ever come back, I must be more specific.
Speaking of drive through restaurants, heres a couple of interesting news items.
It’s safe to assume Joseph Henry Devalle didn’t order a Happy Meal.
The Golden Gate Estates man’s trip through a McDonald’s restaurant drive-through in North Naples began with an argument over his order and ended with his arrest after police found him at home with a drive-through attendant’s shirt.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office gives this account:
Sheriff’s deputies responded early Saturday to the McDonald’s restaurant 11145 U.S. 41 North, and heard a complaint from a male employee, who was not named in the police report.
The employee took Devalle’s order at the drive-through, but Devalle, 37, complained it was incorrect. The employee repeated the order, but Devalle then took issue with the dollar amount. The argument escalated, and when Devalle pulled up to the drive-through window, the employee refused him service.
Eventually the employee put his arm in front of his face to indicate he wasn’t going to serve Devalle, but Devalle hit it out of the way. The employee then punched Devalle in the face.
Devalle responded by reaching into the drive-through window and trying to pull the employee outside. As Devalle continued to pull, he tore off the employee’s shirt. Devalle took the shirt and sped away in a green Honda. The employee got the car’s license plate number and called police.
Deputies went to Devalle’s residence, 374 Burnt Pine Drive, and found him with the employee’s shirt in tow. Devalle gave substantially the same account as the McDonald’s employee, but kept repeating that he was punched in the face.
Devalle was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery because he was the aggressor, police said.
Angry Wendy's customer punches out drive-thru window
A customer at a Fort Myers Wendy's was arrested after he punched a drive-through window, reports the Fort Myers News-Press.
The customer walked into the fast food restaurant yelling and screaming about poor service after pulling out of the drive through.
So an employee handed him a 1-800 number if he wanted to file a complaint.
That's when the customer walked out of the restaurant and toward the drive-through window, punching through it.
When deputies found him, he told them “Yeah, I hear you are looking for me, all I did was break a window.”
Another guy who obviously needs a happy meal.
And last but not leastIn Fribourg, Switzerland, a 7-year-old McDonald's costumer got the remainder of someone else's Happy Meal in hers.
According to authorities the girl discovered a condom among her French fries.
The incident is under investigation and an analysis is underway to determine whether or not it poses a health risk.
The condom, that is.
And as for me, well a bowl of Shreddies at home is starting to look pretty good.
