A Ronald McDonald Surprise

A strange thing happened this morning. I went to the McDonalds on Illinois Road, ordered a Sausage-Egg-and-Cheese McGriddle and a Sausage Burrito...and got exactly what I ordered.

This rarely happens at that McDonalds, or the one at Village of Coventry. Last Friday, Pam and I went through the Illlnois Road place. We both got McGriddles, and neither had the egg with it, as ordered. My orange juice tasted like water with a slice of orange floating in it--very weak. And we didn't get napkins. I've ordered stuff there, and the sack didn't come anywhere near what I ordered.

But today, they got it right. So I'm wracking my brain, trying to figure out what I did right. Because I'm sure it was my fault before. Certain a multinational corporation like McDonalds, staffed by kids with upwards of six years of public education, is beyond making mistakes.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
