Never eat French Fries in the hot tub

It's where they shunt off the poor schmucks who placed an order at the drive thru window and had the order messed up.  I bet that parking space gets a lot of use.

You nailed it. It also used to be for the poor fool who didn't want to eat their food with McDonalds choice of condiments.   I've never understood why McD's feels they have to load everything down with condiments. They periodically sell a rib sandwhich. Rib patties, and a nice bbq sauce. Why ruin that with everything else? BUt they feel they have to put 14 pickles on them.  Now who eats pickles on ribs?  Or their morning Steak Bagle, they put huge piles of fresh onions.  The last thing I want in the morning is big pieces of cooked onions.

I got food poisoning at McDonalds once and they offered me some free meal coupons... :-/

I they figured that they didn't get me with the first shot so they would take another!!

Years ago, nothing locked up the machinery at a McDonald's like a special request.  My brother always had to have his burgers with only ketchup.  That request would practically bring the kitchen to a screeching halt, they way they acted when we ordered this way.  This was back in the early 1970's- remember when McD's didn't have inside seating?  Not sure how it is now- we haven't eaten at a fast food joint in a long time.

To throw them into a real panic, try this sometime. Refuse to park. Tell them you're waiting for your order at the drive thru window until its ready. Then see how fast they get it out to you once the manager has figured out you really mean it. :O And they will call in the manager, not that it makes any difference.
I actually did this at one McD's that was always so slow it took them 10 minutes just to fill a small coffee.
