    Well OK then.........

    So I was at McD's today getting lunch for my mom. I already ordered and was waiting for my food.

    Now it must be said that there's a lot of newer folks working there that aren't exactly up to full speed yet, but it's just burgers. Life won't end if your Big Mac takes 45 seconds to get to you instead of 30, right?


    Guy is in line with one person in front of him, when it's his turn the following exchange happens:

    Guy: I want.....wait, is this going to take a long time? This is like the slowest McDonald's in the world.
    Cashier: *somewhat stunned* Well, uhhh......
    Guy: You know what, forget it, this place takes too long. *storms out in a huff*
    Cashier, Me, People in Line Behind Guy:

    I don't get it, he waited his turn in line patiently and when it was his turn he decided to blow? Wouldn't you think he would have reached that point before then?

    But if you simply walk out before you're at the front of the line, you don't get the attention!!!

      Saw that happen at the local bakery. Gammon End, as we liked to call her, traditionally turned up about thirty minutes before the place opened on a Saturday, at about the same time as other members of the Saturday Early Morning Vulture Club.

      She once waited the requisite time until they unlocked the door, went in, saw that there were two people in front of her, then loudly announced that she couldn't wait that long and then left.

        What the hell did he expect? For his food to instantly materialize right there in front of him as soon as he ordered it?

          Yeah! They should have known what he wanted via telepathy and had it ready for him as soon as he stepped up to the counter! Now that's fast food!
          By the way, how long was he waiting in line, do you think? If I had to wait in line a long time and got up to the counter, I wouldn't leave after I spent all that time waiting. I'd get my food so it'd be worth the wait.

            That's happened to me before.




            Mind you, I worked in the mall back then. Went to the same place for lunch. Ordered the same thing.
            So after a while I'd get there, pay and get ma food in one simple transaction

              True. Very true.

              Gotta have the attention.

                Well DUH! They were supposed to have his food ready by the time he went up there to order. I mean...it's that whole "all employees must be psychic" thing. Psh.

                  Maybe he mistook Mickey D's for the USS Enterprise? Did he think they have replicators? Although I admit, that would be cool.

                    The problem with Enterprise replicators is that they never explain where they got the material from, it's not like they acutally can make stuff out of thin air law of conservation and all. Which leads to the second question of what happens to the byproducts people excrete such as urine and poop?

                      eeewwww.... I always assumed the material came from space, because really, there's a lot of stuff floating around out there, and since it's always moving, it'd always be picking up more stuff. *shudder*

                        I assumed the used raw organic material, partially... *ahem* recycled, like in the space-shuttle of today, and partially either from hydroponics or from supplies that are stocked up at each port of call.

                          Yeah, I know. I was just being "funny." When I was younger (and therefor really into dinosaurs) the coolest fact I ever learned was that the water today was the same water the dinosaurs drank.

                            Since the replicators work by constructing matter on a atomic level, waste products, bio waste and standard trash, would be broken down at the time of disposal, then stored in the component atoms. The same basic concept works today in a slower form:

                            Food >> Eat >> Metabolized >> waste product >> Fertilizer >> Plants >> Food

                            And yes, I know waste product gets treated, mulched, rots, breaks down, ect. This is the short version. For a more in-depth model, you can sign up for my teaching series, only three installments of $1995!!
