SO there I was today .. sitting in the drive thru trying to place my order... and before any one says anything about people that work fast food.. I have .. I did my time in the Mc Donald's drive thru many years ago.. its NOT rocket science..
SO .. the speaker comes on
Drive thru lady : HI may I take your order?
Me: I will have a number one with an orange soda
DTL: What would you like to drink with that ?
Me: Orange Soda
DTL: We have sprite .. coke.. diet.. fanta orange .. dr pepper.. what would you like to drink
Me: (screaming loud enough that had she had the drive thru window open she could have heard me) ORANGE SODA!
DTL: That was a number one with a sprite.. that will be 4.79.. please pull up..
(banging head on steering wheel)
I pull to the window determined to be nice.. she takes my money and before i can even open my mouth to tell her I want orange soda.. she is off to make my sprite.. she comes back ..
Me: I asked for an Orange soda...
DTL: I couldnt hear you over your engine..
I wanted to go off.. cause i drive a MINI COOPER..MINI as in tiny car.. as in 4 cylinders.... how loud could my engine be? she couldnt hear me over my engine but had no problems hearing the guy behind me who was driving a 3/4 ton four wheel drive DIESEL !!! WTF..!! That was the lamest thing I think I have heard in a long time.. I just shook my head and said..
Me: Maybe they should get you a better head set if you cant hear over my little car engine..
I got my change and drove off.. with my ORANGE SODA!!

Stupidity is right. I've had similiar experiences at the drive-thru AND at the counter.
Makes you want to put that "How are we doing?" hotline number on speed dial...

you should give this town a try..most times "I" can't understand what they are saying..the only ones I can understand are the Wendy's..and I don't go there too often!
Hope your dad is doing better.
Thoughts and prayers for the both of you.

Got that Orange Soda I see-LOL.
Would you believe that a lot of people haven't a clue as to what you are asking for when you say "soda".
I have had similar thing happen. I clarified--Soda as in pop, soda pop, you know, I want a soda.
Still did not register. They said they had never heard it called soda, or soda pop before. And they were working a drive thru window.
