I went to a mcd's after the gym today, and being the hungry health nut that I am, I ordered a number 7 (grilled chicken sandwich). This mcd's was in a predominantly hispanic part of Arlington, where I live. She understood the "Number 7" part, but then I told her "no mayonaise." She gave me a wierd look and nodded... then proceded to scream to the other lady in the back in spanish. I'm not sure what she's saying, but it was too long for "number 7 no mayo."
Then I asked "Can you subsitute something for the fries?"
She looked confused. Shook her head and said "yes 2 with fries?"
I said "No number 7 no mayo, can I have something else besides fries like a fruit cup?"
she said "You want a fruit cup?"
I said "Yes can I have that instead of fries?"
She said "Yes number 7 with fries?"
I said "No I want something else besides fries."
She said "Yes you have fries."
I said "I don't want fries."
She said "number 7 and fries?"
I said "Just give me a number 7."
So I got a number 7 with mayo and fries.
Shouldn't there be a english-speaking prerequisite or language check when someone is hired here? I mean... besides understanding "number 7" and "cheeseburger" she didn't understand a single word of anything else I said. I'm sure she's a perfectly nice lady... but I said NO MAYO. Fuck.
