    I'd have asked for a manager. It goes without saying at least one comes with the meal. But I digress.

    I can do you one better than this. I delivered to Winn-Dixie in Orlando, then found a decent enough spot to park in between a McDonalds and I think a Burger King that were just around the corner. Actually ended up spending the night there. I go in for my daily cooked meal. Pretty McNormal until i go to get my drink. The fountain wasn't working, so I returned to the counter expecting them to fill it back there where they do the drive-thru drinks. Nope. Cashier reaches behind the counter to flip a switch that turns on the fountain. Never seen that before.

    Turns out they are on a footpath to/from the local high school. They had too many kids coming in there to socialize while enjoying the fountain drinks in their own cups without buying anything.

    Little America just started making you go to the counter to pay for a coffee cup before you can get coffee
    guess that means truck drivers are as immature as H S kids

    No. When I got to the j she was in the truck and we chatted while Mr duo was inside. Had to move my car when some driver decided to make a u turn and almost took my car with him. Tons of spaces but he wanted to park illegally.

    She went with us to eat. I was embarrassed my car was a mess lol.
