Cue Eye Roll

Yesterday afternoon we were on our way to Mommy/Baby yoga when it occurs to me that I forgot to eat lunch. (I assure you, a rare occurance.) Anyways, I realize there is no way I can go until 5pm with nothing in my stomach. I usually have nuts or crackers in the car but not this time. So I decide to pull into McDonald's and grab a shake, not the most healthy option but it does fill you up. Tis the season for Shamrock Shakes (yum!) and I might as well take advantage of this once a year opportunity. The conversation at the drive through went something like this:

Employee: May I take your order?

Me: I'd like a Shamrock shake?

Em: A what?

Me: A Shamrock shake

Em: Please repeat that.

Me: A..Sham..rock...Shake

Em: What's that?

Me: The minty green milkshake that you have a sign for right here on the menu.

Em: Really?

Me: yeah, really?

Em: Did you say a caramel shake?

Me: No, a...Shamrock...Shake!

(can hear conversing on the other end)

Em: Um, ok, that will be $2.49, pull up to the window.

Pull up to window

Em: Did you say a Shamrock Shake?

Me: Yes, I did. (by this time I'm trying not to laugh)

Em: Ok, hold on. (pause) Here it is, have a nice day.

I think McDonald's needs to keep their employees updated on menu changes.

It was totally worth the hassle. Yum!
