Mind your manners in the drive-thru

When you pull up to the McDonald's drive-thru, a voice says welcome and offers you an item.  Shortly after, a different voice comes on and welcomes you and takes your order.  Never wanting to be rude and ignore the first voice, I always say "no." My wife says that I am rude and a "no thanks" would be better. We often wonder if anyone hears our response to the first voice anyway.

Last night I made a late night run to the Mickey D's for dessert.  As I pulled up a voice said "Welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?" Why, yes, yes you can, and I gave my order.  Then a different voice came on, "welcome to McDonald's, may I take your order?" The recorded voice got me for once. But I don't think anyone even heard it.

This is normal, yes?

I'm sure it is perfectly normal to take pictures of fastfood restaurants and your food, yes?  Surely any expatriate Texian understands pictures of Whataburger!

Tried out the new menu, #16, the grilled chicken melt, sub honey mustard, add jalapenos, add shake.  Much better than the old grilled chicken sandwich but not as good as an ol fashion Whataburger.

Looking forward to my next visit to Whataburger, which will probably involve more photos...
