Just share some stories you have had from a restaurant.
I have two right now:
One from McDonalds and another (and shorter) one from Burger King.
First Mcdonalds.

It started maybe a year ago when me and some friends went to see the movie Eagle Eye. We were dropped off at the mall and had some time to blow. We went over by the food court and since I had the stomach flu the day before (this is going to sound bad), so I decided to just get a small fries. I said I wanted a smalle fries and this one guy said 1 o 8 in a heavy accent. I don't get fast food alot, so I didn't know what he was saying. I said "Umm, no I don't want a meal, I just want a small fries." So then what do I get?..."1 o 8?" Starting to get a little frustrates, I said "Look, I just want fries. No meal, no combo/ bundle/ whatever you people call it, I just wanted my freakin' order." ... "1 o 8?"
I was about to say something until some lady in the back said "Yo change is 1.08..." And then I was like "Oh"

Here's the one from Burger king.
One day after my brother and I had R.E. (a few years back), my mom took us to go get some Burger King. We went up to the window and my mom asked for "Three whoppers, ketchup only...", and then we picked up our meal. When we got home and cleaned up the table, we found that our whoppers were two buns with ketchup only! There was no burger on any of them. I mean really, even if you were new, It's just common sense to put a burger in a whopper.

So if you have any stories, I'm interested in hearing them.

Well I was at a restaurant in Paris and I ordered a burger. It was on the menu as a '(something)oz gourmet burger' and I ended up with a beef patty on my plate. We checked the menu because Dad got a burger (in a bun - duh) and it said 'gourmet burger served in delicious focaccia bread'.

never heard of Macca's, is that a local restaurant?


lmao
