Bacon, Egg and….. CRAP!!!

July 21, 2008

I know I have been over this before, but I must go over it again.

I am on my way to work this morning when I start to get hungry. Luckily for me, or unluckily as it turned out, there was a McDonalds at the next exit. I go to the drive-thru, order a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit combo with an orange juice. Sounds easy enough, right? WRONG!!!!!!

I get my food, as it were, and I get back on the interstate. I reach into the bag and pull out a very small lump with a wrapper that says “Egg McMuffin”. Great. So they gave me the wrong thing. No big deal, it’s a common occurrence, everyone makes mistakes, blah blah blah. Now, I don’t know what an Egg McMuffin is supposed to look like because I have never had one nor have I ever been near anyone else when they were having one, but I am pretty sure it’s not supposed to look like what I unwrapped, which was a tiny bagel-like thing that was sliced open and the inside was charred completely black. I mean completely black. And there’s no egg. Either the Egg McMuffin was sorely misnamed, or the clump of burned bagel I got was put in the wrong wrapper. Again, I am not exactly sure what an Egg McMuffin is and whether or not there is a tiny burnt bagel involved, but I think there should be more to it than just that. At this point, I am on the interstate with the next exit some ten miles away and there is no way I am going to double back, so I take a small bite out of my scorched bagel lump, savoring the dry crunchiness, then narrowly avoid spitting it back out all over the windshield.

I then look at the receipt, and right there, taped to the bag, in plain English, it clearly says Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit combo. RIGHT ON THE FREAKING BAG!!!! And yet I get a burnt bagel lump. I have asked this question before but I shall ask again. Is it so hard to look at a list that is one item long and taped directly to the bag, and then put that item into the bag? IS IT?????? Since this has happened multiple times, I am starting to think it is indeed too hard.
