Here is a list of the most annoying things that customers have said to me while I am working the drive-thru at McDonalds. I am not making any of this up.

• (in a fake Indian accent): "How much for a large cock?"
• (same person, still faking an Indian accent): "What kind of meat is in the Big Mac? Is it cat? dog? cow? or fish?"
• "How big is your sausage patty?"
• "I'll have a whopper"
• customer: "I'll have 20 big macs" me: "You want 20 big macs?" customer: "No, I want 4 big macs."
• "Please don't spit in my food"
• "Are you single?"
• "Are you married?"
• "I'll have a hamburger, and make sure they don't put cheese on it"
• "I have a coupon for a free big mac, but I left it at home. Can you just give me a free one anyways?"
• customer: "I'll have a Mcgriddle." me: "we have a bacon egg and cheese mcgriddle, a sausage egg and cheese mcgriddle, and a sausage mcgriddle. which one would you like?" customer: "I don't care."

DO THIS:

In order to prevent THIS:

You should try this. Something as simple as sticking your pop can inside a roll of duct tape will keep your precious caffenated liquids off of your project and save you a TON of grief.
