This is something I'll do at least once a week on here. Basically, anything that strikes me unusually and unacceptably retarded, will be showcased here and ranted about for at least two paragraphs. Obviously, there are some weeks where I encounter more of these situations than others, so those weeks will earn multiple posts. Totally logical.
Just to give an idea of what I'm describing, here's a classic "Jiminy Christmas, f#$k that!" esque situation from a week ago.
McDonald's is an American institution. They alone can largely be blamed for the ever increasing childhood obesity level as well the limitless french fry filled smiles plastered across countless faces of young kids with happy meals in their laps. Over the years, Ronald and the Hamburgler have made various attempts to reign in the business the mom's who drive the Suburban's that transport this core customer group. Failed attempts include (but are not limited too) the McRibb, the Filet o' Fish, and countless other items that are certainly not what they claim to be.
Enter the newest perplexing item to grace the McDonald's menu--Premium Roast Coffee. This is more of a movement and, I mean, I get it. Starbucks is taking over the world. Oh wait, they closed hundred's of locations this past year and posted record loses. Oh well, still makes perfect sense.
If that wasn't enough, here comes the best part.
IT'S STILL MCDONALD'S. Across the street from the building where my classes are, there is a McDonald's on Broadway and Waverly. I've been told that this is one of the most successful locations in the entire franchise. So obviously, this place is pushing the premium roast coffee to rich, white NYU students like it's adderall (totally not as cool, for the record).
I was desperate. I ordered a small. My dialogue with the so called "employee." We'll call her, "employee."
ME: Small coffee please.
"EMPLOYEE": Small premium roast coffee.
ME: Yeah, sure. With half and half.
"EMPLOYEE": What's that?
ME: Coffee with half and half.
"EMPLOYEE": Half coffee half milk?
ME (defeated): Coffee with cream please.
Just...just wow.
