It's a growing trend. When I walk into a fast food restaurant, the bottleneck is no longer the slow service the bottleneck is the customers.
There are three types of McIdiots I have observed in the wild.
Unus Magnus Plumbeus (One Largely Stupid Person)
There is no reason whatsoever that a grown adult needs three minutes to place an order for breakfast at McDonald's. The menu itself seldom changes year to year. Is it really that complex of a question - "What do you want for breakfast?"
One McIdiot can make ten people run late because they stand there hemming and hawing over what to order. Three McIdiots in the same line can actually have economic ramifications making twenty people late for work causing a $300 drop in productive work for that city.
I wondered if this person was an illegal alien from someplace that did not have a McDonald's thus the confusion. If Arizona implemented a "Take a traffic stop to McDonald's test" to see how long it took a perp to order to determine their citizenship, would the federal government block it as well?
Unus Magnus Plumbeus Abbas (One Largely Stupid Parent)
I went into Wendy's a week ago and stood there while a father passed down to his son the McIdiot gene. Four minutes asking the brat what he wanted. Get out of the way McIdiot! You are holding up those of us who can place orders in under twenty seconds. Order for your kid or ask him before you get there! Is it rocket science here? No!!!!
Duo Plumbeus Feminas (Two Stupid Women)
It wasn't enough that I was waiting in line for 15 minutes to get food, but I heard the inane chatter of two particular women the entire time. Everyone else was silent and I think they were plotting how to kill these two chatterboxes. They were ahead of me and when it became their turn one of these McIdiots actually said, "Hmmmm. What do I want?"
What does she mean? She's been in line for 15 minutes and she has no frakking clue what she wants? She should lose her place in line and go to the end or be drawn and quartered for adding to our wait time.
Demand McIdiots get out of your way. It's time to take back out fast food restaurants. Just don't start the fight with a pregnant McIdiot as my friend Patty once did.
This particular McIdiot took exception to Patty telling her to hurry up while trying to wrangle the three kids running around. She got in Patty's face to get off her back and about how she was probably the most educated person in that restaurant, so Patty needed to back off.
Patty pointed out that apparently that education did not include knowing how to read a frakking menu and it went downhill from there. Even though Patty was in the right, public sentiment seems to side with the child carrying McIdiot now matter what kind of idiot she is.
