This summer after therapy I’ve been taking the kids to McDonald’s after. They don’t drink soda or cokes, so I order them happy meals with water. This stumps the chef at McDonald’s about 50 percent of the time.

Same, would not allow soda for them. Yesterday, and they are teenagers now, there were two full up McDonalds cups with water in the refrigerator.

Sometimes they figure it out and give me iced water in a cup. Sometimes they give me bottles of water and charge me extra. I don’t care. Sometimes they didn’t know or have either and we are at an impasse. Once I told them no drinks are necessary and they SHUTDOWN. They HAVE TO press a button.

Just went through that scenario again, can’t give me water, would you like bottled water? Oh, shit we are out, what do I do, ect. Anyway, that is why I’m now drinking three small Dr peppers.

Spouse is switching her days off again to weekends now that the kids will be starting school so this will be the last Saturday therapy trip for me for awhile. My watch has ended.

Water is just too outside the mainstream I guess

If you go to the same McDonald’s each time, it might be worth talking to the manager - just a thought

That’s true! But with toddler who’s overdue for a nap and 2 other hungry kids it’s never a good time.

Anyway, now that school is starting up McDonald’s will become a rarity again

I understand why you do this. Pop is pretty bad stuff really.
