Feed Rabbits Dandelions

# 12. How to be served (e) more quickly in a fast food restaurant?


not want
It's Friday night. It is the weekend in early November and daylight is scarce. The fresh breeze chaps the lips and the moisture penetrates to the bone. Only one desire: to cocooning at home, quiet away from the hustle experienced during the week ( metro, boulot, races all kinds , out with friends, and tutti quanti).

So what better than no plan except the lighting of the TV in time for a nice little series that does not reflect gagaïse but that does not fully (unlike emissions variety, which for the most part, tend to put the viewer in a state close to lethargy)?
And to do even better, you get a nice little meal tray that requires no passing through the kitchen.

Want
How lucky to live in a city which, like many cities, is designed to offer such services and push you to mass consumption. We have the choice between everything. So you just want to follow her and take her phone and dial the number 2000 or Hello Pizza Express Sushi Minute. Zou, a half hour later, the doorbell rings and go for intensive breeding.

Big Tasty
But tonight specifically, my evening pampering, I do not see it without a McDonalds Big Tasty home. Well, the evening "gnagnatage front of the TV" should start with a trip in the November rain, but it's worth it. We talk about the Big Tasty is anyway.


The Big Tasty, what

So yes, tonight big sudden urge good cheeseburger fat. With the approach of winter, the body must make its reserves in anticipation of the fight against the cold and loudly claimed his needs. There, my body needs the safe bet in terms of heat input. He claims McDonald's.
And what is good in big cities is that McDonald's, Has it all over the place! McDonald's is here to satisfy your cravings fat anytime soon-and basic principle of fast food restaurants.

It happens like that at McDonald's
Finally, quickly ... At my local McDonald's *, it depends on what you want and most importantly how - on or off the premises? Yes, because MacDonald is organized into two distinct sections (for convenience, but certainly I do not really see the effectiveness of such methods)

On or off the premises?
The section "on site" on the left, and the "take away", right after the separation wall built by tasting area quickly.
course, a Friday evening of November around 20:30, we are not alone in having the same idea macdo-télé/squat evening. The length of the queue in the "take away" reminds you of a stress that we just wanted to get rid of by being a party to the quiet cool. For cons, the "locally" is empty, just a guy who pays and who takes his meal tray.

Choice Cornelian
Be honest, queuing for an order to go, and wait in a place not very zenifiant-okay, the McDonald's has made efforts with new plastics, its chemical colors and electric light. But for me, it does not work at all. Either option has already been tested and approved before, which is to be served right away and spend less than 5 minutes on the site. But it takes a touch of carelessness vis-à-vis others following the orders of an organization absurd and counterproductive. This is the option of total bluff.

Once is not custom
I choose this convenient option and successfully. Without hesitation I walk to the cashier, I ordered my burger, I pay (with battery-haired good money) and wait for the normal design of sandwich thawed. A young man came to the box next door, where a server waiting to do his job. He takes control, but had to cancel because the young man was wrong, it's not the "take away" here. The young man did not flinch and returned at the end of the right queue, certainly punished for trying to grill everyone going quietly in the next section for a sandwich faster.

Smooth Criminal
At the same time, it serves him, it is learned by the error. When one wants to bluff the system, it must go through and fully embody the role of client that is "on place ". The error committed by the young apprentice was to specify" take away ", he barbecued alone.
But I played in the big leagues. After a minute of waiting, I'm finally kindly my meal tray, and then I head to the exit by making my sandwich in my bag and the tray above the trash "Thank you".

All's well that nests well
And now, the operation macdo complete, the result is positive: the air outside is still good, the service at fast food was fast, MacDonald has made a small gesture for the environment (my sandwich was given only a simple cardboard box, no bags paper or card stock double bottom labeled "take away").

My evening television can finally start!

Still it would be so much simpler if McDonald's would begin to home delivery ...


* Note: "At McDonald's" is a popular expression typically French: it shortens a proper name, it is transformed into common name and is written phonetically.
