THE FRIDGE
|
The Fast Food Fanagle |
"I would like a # 6 please. But, instead of the fries and the drink, may I just have another spicy chicken sandwich instead?" "Excuse me?" "Instead of the fries and the drink, can I substitute them with a spicy chicken sandwich?" "Umm, sorry sir, we can't do that." "OK, nevermind, I'll just have a # 6 combo meal regular size with two sides of ranch, please." "$6.89. Next window, please." Everytime I get fast food or anything like it, I attempt something that follows the previous conversation. I don't do it to be obnoxious, I do it because I just want to see if it would ever work. It never really has worked before, at least not to the point where I actually get what I request. Normally I try to replace the fries with an extra sandwich or replace the drink with an extra sandwich. It never works. I have tried it almost a hundred times and all of my buddies can attest to it. Without fail, I will always throw in a line. Note: I only attempt these crazy requests when it is a female waitress/server/cashier, and even more so if she is cute. Well my friends, today is the day I have been waiting for. I got Wendy's for lunch today because I was feeling go-wrappy. I ordered two spicy chicken go-wraps and proceeded to the next window. Apparently the lady in the car in front of me drove off missing a bag of food so the employee hollered out the window for her to come back. She obviously couldn't hear her so I honked a bunch of times to attempt to get her attention. She heard me and came back to get her missing bag. Employee: "Thanks for honking." Me: "Does that mean I get a free meal?" Emplyoee: "Sure, I'll give you a soda or Frosty." Me: "Hah, really?" Employee: "Yeah sure, what do you want?" Me: "A chocolate Frosty. Are you serious?" Employee: "Absolutely...here you go." I was in shock. I thanked her a bunch of times and went on my merry way. I haven't had a Frosty in about five years and I probably won't have another for five more years. This was the best Frosty I have ever had. I only ate about 10 spoonfuls but it was glorious. I love Wendy's. And that is now why I will always attempt a free meal. The best comparison I can think of right now is the game of golf. You can take a hundred bad shots and never be happy, but the one great shot you hit is the reason you come back for another round. And I am going to go to Wendy's for dinner and try another round. |
