New York State Thruway, Friday night
Tall, thin man in a white t-shirt filled from collar to waist with a quote from Marcus Garvey, something about remembering your history, to a McDonald's clerk, chubby, nervous, apparently 16 years old and apparently in charge for the evening:
What can I get for 90 cents?
Clerk: I can get you a small drink. I can get you a large drink, really, even.
Customer: Can I get four McNuggets?
Clerk: I can't do that. That would mess up my drawer. We don't sell just four McNuggets here anyway.
Customer: You're sure I can't get four McNuggets? How about a Snack Wrap?
Clerk: No, because my drawer...maybe I can get the drawer open. What if I just give you the 90 cents back if I can get in the drawer.
Customer: Alright. I see you're a man of integrity.
Clerk: No problem sir and you have a lovely day!
Customer: You're sure I can't get four McNuggets?
Clerk: Look I got the drawer opened. I can just give you back the money I shorted you instead.
Customer: OK. Thank you.
Clerk, to me: Crispy chicken club?
Me: Hi
Clerk: OK sir I am so sorry for the wait and you have a lovely day!
