You stop at a McDonalds and order a coffee with your food. The server puts the lid on your cup and puts the cup on your tray. You notice something is wrong because there seems to be a lot of leakage.

I totally understand that in the blur of trying to serve customers in a timely manner, that something this small could easily be overlooked. It's no big deal really, except that I could not take my coffee with me, nor could I drink it because I was out of time.

I didn't say anything about it because it wasn't that important. I should have said something about it, for the benefit of servers in the future, being more aware of damaged coffee cups.

So now, instead of me making an issue out of a damaged coffee cup, someone else in the future, perhaps less in control of his or her temper, will become the Jerk.

You Better Count Your Chicken McNuggets!

I went to McDonald's on Chatham road near Wabash this afternoon around 2:00 and ordered a 10 piece Chicken McNuggets.

I never use the "drive-thru," because like Joe Pesci's character in Lethal Weapon II, "they f#@k you at the drive-thru."

I went up to the counter. besides the drive-thru traffic, there was only one person in front of me and nobody behind me. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary and it appeared that everything was running smoothly.

I only ordered the Chicken McNuggets. No sauce or anything else. When I got the bag I walked out. It felt a little light, so I looked inside.

There were eight pieces, not ten. So, what did I do? I walked out without saying a word, because I would rather write about it here.

When you go to McDonalds and get Chicken McNuggets, stay at the counter, open the box in front of the person who gave you your food and count it and say "I read on the Internet that someone got shorted on their food order."

If you happen to be at the McDonalds on Chatham near Wabash, say "I read on the Internet that someone got shorted on their food here."
