So, I could almost forgive the girl who walked into Dairy Queen and stood in line behind us, then proceeded to ask the employee behind the counter (in a nasty, irritated voice) "Do you have anything non-dairy?" I mean, at least she knew that she was at Dairy Queen, even though it was a ridiculous question and Daphne and I had to leave immediately since we were laughing so hard...i mean...it's DAIRY Queen.
Like I said, at least she knew where she was. Today, Morgan and I decided to have lunch at Chick-fil-A. Always a safe, clean, predictable environment...or so we thought. I drove into the parking lot and was stuck behind a car that was moving unnecessarily slow. That should have been my first sign that something was amiss. Morgan and I made it into the restaurant before the slow drivers, who were elderly and needed a little more time to move around...that's understandable. So, they end up standing behind us in line. We place our order and are waiting for our food at the counter when we hear the employee next to us talking to the elderly couple saying "This is Chick-fil-A, all we have is chicken". I guess they had inquired about beef. We had a slight chuckle, maybe they had never been to a Chick-fil-A before... that's understandable.
We figured that their question was answered and that they would order chicken and eat their lunch and the incident was over until we heard the same employee say "No, this isn't McDonald's". Ok, at this point it's getting sketchy. This couple didn't just try and order beef, but actually thought that they were in a completely different restaurant, even though they had driven (slowly) around the parking lot, and it's a pretty hard parking lot to find. Actually, the McDonald's parking lot is much easier to find and only about a quarter of a mile down the road. So, once again when they found out that it wasn't McDonald's, we figured they would still just order something and eat there. No. They then proceeded to ask for directions to McDonald's and leave the restaurant. I guess they just had a hankering for beef.
So, the slow driving is understandable, the confusion of no beef items on the menu at a fast food restaurant is understandable, traveling to...decidedly maneuvering around the parking lot...walking into the building that has a huge sign saying "Chick-fil-A"...and ordering an item that is listed on a competitor's menu...isn't really understandable.
Morgan turned to me after they had left and said, "I guess I should have known something was wrong when I heard the guy talking to his wife about a quarter pounder with cheese". Man I hope those people aren't from around here, because I don't want to be stuck behind them at Hargray while they're trying to pay their electric bill...
