I went straight from church to school yesterday. I was afraid that if I went home, I’d never leave again. But I did at least have to stop for some food. I thought I’d get some junk for lunch, so I stopped at McDonald’s. I wanted a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. I was going to skip the fries, but an apple pie was sounding good to me. (I’ll bet you get apple pies from McDonald’s, too, don’t you Dad?)
Anyway, when I opened the bag, there were TWO apple pies! Was it a mistake? No. The receipt said two pies for one dollar. It’s some kind of special on their dollar menu. I wonder what just one pie costs? Would they even let me buy just one? Does getting just one cost more? I would pay it. Because guess what I did with the extra pie. Yes, that’s right. I ate it.
Just one pie costs $0.89. But if you order just one, they get very confused.
Up my way, they always ask before they give you 2 apple pies. I used to always say ok…but now I cut them off at the pass. I say ‘I only want 1 apple pie…I know it cost more. ‘ I used to tell them I didn’t want to throw the other one away & waste food (even though I knew I’d eat it), but then I thought—Why do I have to explain to them why I only want one.
I do that at the movies too. You can upgrade your drink & popcorn to the next bigger size for 50 cents. I say I’ll take a medium diet Pepsi & a small popcorn & I don’t want to upgrade. I say it politely. I figure it saves us all time.
I’m rambling.
A question asked must be answered. “Yes!”
But, ya’ll need to know the pies are $.50 each, and. premeditatively you are going to eat both……without feeling guilty! The whole experience improves 100% with the right attitude toward the experience. By the way, one, I do like cherry just a wee tad better than apple! Brad, you should also have had a small fries! By the way, too, I always conclude my exact order by saying: “That’s all!!” Some dummies always say, “Do you want cheese on that?” That always detracts from what otherwise would have been a great McD’s dining experience! If you want to see some McD’s panic, order a breakfast sandwich on a regular hamburger bun.
Hehe….you don’t like cheese either?
And I agree….I don’t know why Brad didn’t get his vegetable (aka fries)????
I like the cherry pies better too, but I haven’t seen a cherry pie at a McDonald’s for years.
I should say in the spirit of full disclosure – I’m not against eating stuff because you like it. Heck, I’ve had a box of cookies for dinner. But I didn’t like that they made the decision for me. Maybe next time I should just skip the guilt and enjoy the gift of yumminess.
You and Peggy should compare notes for special orders. She likes confusing service people too. Her orders usually include odd omissions.
I had a weird look from a guy in a grocery store this weekend. Lunch meat was ’2 for $6′, and I asked if I had to buy two to get that price. He acted like I was an idiot and said, “No, it’s $3 for one”. I should have cited this example.
Dumb, inconsisent sellers.
You are so right! In my neck of the woods, it depends what store you’re in. At my regular food store you can always break it down…you don’t have to buy the full amt. to get the deal. But others you do….and I usually don’t need 10 of anything.
Yeah, McDonalds is junk food. Well, actually it’s just boring.I’m so tired of places that just sell soft drinks,french fries,& sandwiches!
By the way,how do you make that little yellow smile face?All I can do is make blobby words shaped like faces,as shown below.Boring isn’t it?
