'Sir, would you like it hot?'
The closest McD’s is 50 mi south
Worth it for the coffee
I think about it on the way to town
Wife and I talk about it
Goooood coffee
Best coffee of the entire fast food universe
One dollar
Easy peasy
Yesterday
The drive thru was jammed
Walked in
Ordered two large cups
Quick service
Boom boom, I’m on my way back out the door
Only
The cups feel oddly cool to the touch
Open one
Sip
Tepid
Go back to the counter
Wait
They see me
I still wait
Finally,
‘Sir, what can I do for you?’
‘Guess I failed to mention I wanted hot coffee, these two are not quite warm’
‘Oh, well, do you mind waiting two to three minutes, we have to make a new pot’
‘I’ll wait’
I wonder what the thinking was…
What did she expect my answer to be…
‘Oh, two minutes, well then never mind, I’ll just sip this lukewarm cup of swill’
Or
‘Two minutes!!!
Two minutes!!!!
For hot coffee????!!!’
The second try produced hot coffee
goooood coffee
