Recently the Swiss_Mouse and Mrs. Swiss_Mouse were going to run some errands.  They were dropping off the young mouse-ling with Swiss_Mouse Sr. and Grandma Swiss_Mouse.

When allowed to pick where they would like to get some fast food to take to the grand-mice, they thankfully did not respond “Burger King”.  Sadly, they chose McDonald’s.  Swiss_Mouse Sr.  also asked for something to be picked up for him.

The mouse-lings were dropped off and Swiss_Mouse headed off to purchase the meals at the closest establishment.  This McDonald’s is well known to the Swiss_Mouse as possibly the worst restaurant in terms of service around.  The possible exception being Taco Bell.

As a prelude of things to come, the “Verify your Order” screen was not working.

The Swiss_Mouse pulled around to the window and…right off the bat the wrong drink was handed out.   “No, not Dr. Pepper, Powerade.”   Now, the Swiss_Mouse knows that Powerade and Dr. Pepper sound exactly alike phonetically……but….still.   The exasperated worker grabbed the drink and shuffled away.   The Swiss_Mouse took this time to go through the bags…ok…ok..ok…and no.   A few moments later she returned and handed what she believed was the full order out the window.  Handing the last bag, she stood staring at the Swiss_Mouse (note:  no “Thank you” or “Have a nice day” or  anything).  The Swiss_Mouse said “We’re missing small fries.”

The flustered worker motioned (not asked for) the receipt.  The Swiss_Mouse handed it back while POINTING to the small fries listing.  The worker grunted and moved off.

The Swiss_Mouse wanted to say “HEY!  LOOK YOU!  The Swiss_Mouse makes more in 3 months of Google Adsense than what you make in an hour!  Jump to it!”   But the Swiss_Mouse is sure that wouldn’t have had the impact he thinks it should.  After taking everything back to the grand-mice, the Swiss_Mouse found that the employees had put all of 6 to 8 fries in each bag.  Thanks McDonald’s.

Morale of the Cheddar Savings here….ALWAYS check your food before leaving the restaurant!  Get what you paid for!
