Not believing what we just heard, we looked and indeed, there was smoke wafting from a trash can … by the pumps!
We didn’t complete our transaction, but instead exited hastily. We were left to wonder, “How does this idiot keep their job, let alone getting it?”

Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 10 or 20 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
“We don’t have half dozen nuggets,” said the teenager at the counter. “You don’t?” I replied.
“We only have six, ten, or twenty,” was the reply. “So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?”
“That’s right.” So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
