Flurry turns Blizzard!

So..being such a beautiful afternoon, I found myself taking advantage of it on my bicycle riding around town. Today was school budget elections, so I rode over to the school to cast my vote. Then, on the way back, I ran into an old neighbor from the apartments and we ended up walking about 5 blocks as she had no bike but needed to be somewhere. On the way back, I stopped across the street to play with Sammy and Caroline and their hose and got just a little wet ;) Then, I headed home. Joe had forgotten to go vote, so he suggested we ride over there and then on to Phredo's for Lattes..Sure! Sounded great! Mind you, the last time we did this, Phredo's had closed early for the night so we walked an extra mile up to Starbucks...gotta have a quality latte, you know ;) Anyway, we weren't in luck tonight either! They had taken their hours off the door so we aren't even sure if they closed early, but it left us on our bikes riding up to Starbucks. We got there, and realized that McDonalds was across the street. Now, I'm not one to normally head for Micky D's over Starbucks, but being nice, the idea of a Flurry sounded wonderful to me and he wanted a milkshake anyway. We head across the highway and walk into McDonalds. The girl taking our order promptly answers her cell phone and is talking as she is taking our order. Ok..not exactly professional, but who am I to expect that out of a high school kid working for peanuts at a crappy fast food joint? She puts a cup on the milkshake machine, and apparently hits the wrong button. I watch it promptly overflow as if it were a Sundae and NOT a milkshake. She fills the Flurry cup, and pours the m and m's into it. I watch her stick the spoon in and give it a lacking whirl. In the meantime, another slack ass worker takes the overflowing milkshake and throws it out! Yes, I know, a complete waste, but this isn't UNLIKE McDonald's anyway. So cell phone girl hands me the flurry and assumes that we had the milkshake already. I asked if the Flurry was stirred properly, as I did not see her do it, and I wanted to give her a chance to redeem herself. She says yes, I say whatever..In the meantime, the wasteful slacker who threw the other milkshake away, proceeds to mouth off to me, telling me "She SAID she stirred it!" Alright..now you are pushing your luck. I asked if the Flurry machine was broken as I did not ask for simply icecream with topping. She says "All you had to do was ASK to have it stirred with the machine!" Wait, am I missing something here? Isn't that the proper way to make a creamy Flurry? Was this whole process impeding her cell phone usage? I said "I DID ask!" So slacker starts to ARGUE with me..now I'm near fuming but I'm not going to push the issue...it isn't worth my effort. I start to turn around and she says something snippy under her breath, where I proceed to swing around and loudly proclaim, "EXCUSE ME, but do I NEED to speak to your manager?" I think she was a bit stunned..the manager realized what was going on and promptly scolded the slacker worker..I didn't push the issue..I just walked out..Maybe I should have, but really, it was just a creamy dessert! I know better now..All I wanted was a latte..I should have followed my initial hunch!
