Half a Nugget

So I have to tell you this cause I am still shaking my head over it.
I went dancing with some friends last night, had planned to leave early, but you know how that always ends up. It was awesome- line dancing at Cook, DJ Suco at Suite, out with a couple girl friends and none of us are drinking, doesn't get much better if you ask me. So End of the night comes around, DJ is just playing the last song, I'm leaving, and a friend asks for a ride home. No biggie, in the car(which took forever to warm up) he asks if I mind stopping for food.
First Macdonalds is closed, but when we get to Sherwood Park the one on Wye is open, so we go to the drive through. At this point Its like 245, I had wanted to be home on time, but whatever. We sit there waiting for the car in front of us to order. And it is taking forever! At first I figured, midnight shift, short staffed, maybe they only put through so many people, but 5 mins? Are you serious? So finally I roll down my window to listen and see if they are ordering or not.
They were trying to order, are you ready for this? The tone of their voices tells me this has been going on for a while, and I am in disbelief. Cause I'm not even kidding, this is what I heard
Drive Thru lady-"So you want pack of chicken nuggest" (and she had some accent, Oriental I think")
Chick in the Car-"No. I just want to know how much is costs for HALF OF ONE NUGGET"
DTL- "So Nuggets, anything else for you"
CiC- "No, why aren't you listening, I don't want a pack of nuggets, I want to know how much it costs to get HALF OF ONE NUGGET"
What am I supposed to do? I'm hungry, and tired, and I have still got to drive home, so I tap my horn, meaning, come on already, lets go. The driver? Sticks her head out the window, looks back at me and flips me the bird. She sat there for more than 5 mins trying to order HALF OF ONE CHICKEN NUGGET while there were people behind her waiting, while the lady on the other end had work to, and lets be honest, those things don't pick up voices at the best of times(the drive through order thingys) and she gets annoyed at ME for getting impatient! Are you kidding me?


So... How much do you think half of one chicken nugget would cost?
