I was very hungry and tired. It was last Saturday night, and I had just arrived home from the one-day Confessing Christ in a Contrary Culture Conference at Our Shepherd Lutheran Church in Avon, Indiana. The provided lunch was wonderful...if you could eat dairy. They had lasagna and a huge dessert table, but my only lunch option was to throw together a tiny salad, a few apple slices, and three pieces of bread. At least I could eat something.
Consequently, I wasn't surprised to be very hungry when my carpool arrived home late because we were stuck on the highway for an hour due to a motorcycle accident. I wasn't feeling the best and worried about potentially getting sick (which turned out to be an extremely legitimate worry as I've been sick from Sunday through now). There weren't really leftovers, and I didn't feel like waiting for something to cook, so I drove over to McDonald's to save time and get a quick meal.
This is where it became hilarious.
The cashier seemed new, and the others behind the counter were much slower than normal, so they were already backed up. I think I was fourth in line, so it took a while to get to the person in front of me. Nothing prepared me, however, for that person's order in front of me. They wanted ten $5 gift cards.
Do you know how long it takes to ring up ten $5 gift cards with a new cashier and a computer system that also seemed to be running slowly? It probably would have ended up being faster to have cooked at home before all was said and done.
But I had a good laugh about it, and have a fun story about the time someone ordered 10 $5 gift cards right in front of me when I was starving.
