Drive-Through BK Employee: “Here’s your children’s meals.”
Me: “We didn’t order children’s meals. Our invisible children aren’t hungry.”
She: “We ordered two large dinners.”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “Did you already pay?”
She: “Yes! $8.52”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “Oh….okay, you owe me $9.09. Let’s see…that’s seventeen cents.”
Me: “No. It’s not.”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “…”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “Excuse me.”
Me: “Do you think she’s going to get a calculator?”
She: “Give me fifty seven cents or we’re never going to get our food.”
Me: “Fine, fine. Here.”
She to Drive-Through BK Employee: “Here. Exact change.”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “That’s not enough.”
Me: “Yes. It is.”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “…”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “Excuse me.”
Me: “We did her no favors by introducing math into her cozy retail environment. We should’ve just given her seventeen cents.”
Drive-Through BK Employee: “Here’s your meals. Thank you, come again.”
Me & She: “…”
Me: “It must be the hunger pangs. I should’ve had a snappy comeback. It all would’ve been worth it if I’d had a snappy comeback for that.”
She: “We’re never coming back.”
