People named Jody.

So, I went through the McDonalds drive-thru the other day (in hopes of getting a Yoda toy in my Happy Meal.) Normally, they are pretty quick, but when I got to the window to pick up my food (sadly, sans Yoda) they asked me to wait for a couple minutes. No biggie; I wasn't in a huge hurry. PLUS, it gave me time to read the various employee notices and, in particular, the sign posted on the side of the McCafe coffee-drink machine contraption thingie.

It went a little something like this:

ATTENTION EMPLOYEES!

We have received SEVERAL customer complaints about the quality of our McCafe Lattes.

PLEASE be sure to use the following measurements when making the lattes:

Medium Size

2 shots of caramel

1 whipped cream

Large Size

3 shots of caramel

2 whipped cream

By following these McDonalds recipes, we can ensure the satisfaction of our customers.

*Specifically a woman in a champagne colored Acura named Jody.




I have two questions to ask of all the Jodys out there. Just two.


Number One: Is it really not already sucky enough to be working at McDonalds without having to deal with managerial notes about latte recipes?


Number Two: Really?? You're going to complain about the quality of something you are ordering at McDonalds? You're a jerk. Go to Starbucks. They're used to people like you.
