So I went in and asked for a bag of ice. The McBimbo got it out of the freezer and brought it to the counter, then asked me (Really!) "Is this to go, or are you gonna it eat it here?"
I was so stunned I didn't answer, so she said "I'll just give it to ya for here." So she put the bag on a plastic tray with some napkins, and rang me up. She even charged me the 8-cent tax for eating it on the premises.

Maybe she thought you just wanted to munch on some ice and chill out!
ReplyDeleteI see one problem with this whole story...you didn't get any apple pie! Maybe that's why she charged you the extra 8 cents, because you didn't order any apple pie!
Great secret McIce. I need to remember that!
ReplyDeleteActually, the "Eat In" tax is just sales tax. If you had said to-go, it would have said "Take Out" tax. It's just another way for the runner to identify if the food needs to be put on a tray or in a bag.
ReplyDeleteI put in 3 miserable years in high school/college, and answered this question many times.
did you really use a credit card for under a dollar?
ReplyDeleteYes, I ashamedly admit I did. I had no cash at all on me that day.
