The newest way of fast food places (especially McDonald's) to try to get you to buy food that you don't want or need. When you get to the
drive-thru ordering spot (with the menu and all), they "greet" you with "Hi, would you like to try a nice
Cappuccino today?". Of course, you think this is a person that is ready to take your order. Instead, when you're in the middle of saying your order, you get "Welcome to McDonald's, can I take your order?", or "Sorry - can you repeat that?". This is just like going inside and when you reach the counter, the person says that crap to you, and walks away. I find it ridiculous.
Example:
Me: *Drives up to the
drive-thru*
Speaker: "Hi, would you like to try a nice
Cappuccino today?"
Me: Yeah, hi, can I get your #9 3-Piece meal?
Actual Person: Sorry, can you repeat that?
Me: *Hot steam coming from ears* Yeah, can I get your #9 3-Piece meal?
Actual Person: Please drive up.
Me: *Wonders how much cash to pull out* How much is it?
Actual Person: Uh....$
6.16.
Me: *Wonders why I'm not greeted nicely, not told the cost of how much I need to pay, or why I never even got thanked for placing my order and doing business with them*
Seriously, this pre ordering crap sucks.
