Current Events > I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo...

(+) Yeah! (+)

...with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

Overall, I think it was very unprofessional to bring this up. I should have a clean slate with each drive through visit, not have to get the third degree because I committed some sort of faux pas. Which I don't think I did, because I often see people eating in fast food parking lots. How does she know I am not busy going to work or somewhere in a rush?

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

ok

Aren't you overthinking it? I think she was asking just because she was curious. Not because she is telling you how to live your life lol

How was the sandwich?

Shut the fuck up

I like their fish sandwiches.

I'd like to think it's a joke, but you just can't really tell.

How do they taste in comparison to Wendy's North Pacific Cod?

I can. I've seen this exact topic word for word somewhere else. Mightve been here actually. Maybe it was TC and he's recycling it

All I know is I've seen this already

TC comes across as extremely self centered and obnoxious. You go ahead and sit out in your car and keep yourself away from other people. Likely no one else would want to be closer than they have to.

i mean the fact that he felt the need to tell us what he ordered, and started the topic with an uncommonly talked about item kind of gave that away

Based on how ridiculous it sounds then yeah it's a joke

Ugh, I know what you mean TC. There was this time I went to McDonald's and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audiobook when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered outside having a cigarette.
