I'm one of those people who enjoys a good, hot breakfast in the morning. I'm also one of those people who wakes up 15 minutes before I have to be somewhere. You can see my dilemma. Fortunately, I've found a solution that generally works well. There's a McDonald's located right on the corner of my road and the road that takes me...well, everywhere. As a rule, McDonald's is my least favorite of all fast food chains (but they do have flavored coffee and hashbrowns). Apparently, my McDonald's feels the same way about me.
Friday morning I ventured into the drive-thru, hoping for a quick stop before heading to work. I don't love their breakfasts--although they're slightly better than their lunches--so I always get the same thing: a #11 (a sausage mcgriddle meal). Recently, our "restaurant" expanded into iced coffees, which I am very pleased to enjoy. So, on Friday, I pulled up and ordered a #11 with an iced vanilla coffee.
Here's how the conversation went:
Me: I'd like a #11, please.
Employee: We're out of mcgriddles.
M: Okay, I'll have a sausage biscuit meal. With an iced vanilla coffee.
E: We're out of vanilla.
You should be impressed that I left without yelling.
So, I ordered hazelnut (the only other option), and went on with my day. Sunday, I decided to try again. I pull up, order my #11 with an iced vanilla coffee. The girl charges me $5 something and I head off to work. Once I get to work, I open the bag to eat a quick bite before delivering the newspapers (yes, I have to deliver newspapers to 150 residents on weekend mornings), and what do I find? Certainly not what I ordered. Instead of a sausage mcgriddle, I got a bacon, "egg" and cheese mcgriddle. I removed the egg product and tried to enjoy what was left. Of course, it was awful.
At least the hashbrowns are consistent.

so tell me...
how was your iced vanilla latte?
haha, what is with all the mccdonald's posts?
that has happened to me before with lunch. i ordered chicken nuggets and i get to work and i open a big mac! sick!
must be vanover telepathy. i havent been to mcdonalds in forever until friday.
Well, I wouldn't call it a latte, exactly, but it was very good.
They actually did that to me a few months ago, too. I ordered a sausage biscuit meal, and when I got to work, all I had was a burnt bun. No sausage. Must be a breakfast thing.
i hate all breakfast items so i never get any only hashbrowns and i have yet to eat a potato i did not like (sorry brittan).
i am craving mcd's cheeseburgers. i shall have to get some on my way down to medina. i will let you know if i have a mcd horror story.
and fast food drive troughs must be really bad this week.. another blog i visit posted about dunkin donuts.
my only story about fast food is when i went through white castle asking for turkey burgers (a staple at white castles in minnesota) and the lady was like "what?" and after i asked for turkey burgers 5 times she was pissed and said "um, lady our burgers are made of meat" and i was like "you call this meat?"
