I rather liked this story.


I know I shouldn’t have done this, but I am 83 years old and I was in the McDonald’s drive-through this morning and the young lady behind me leaned on her horn and started mouthing something because I was taking too long to place my order.

So when I got to the first window I paid for her order along with my own.

The cashier must have told her what I'd done because as we moved up she leaned out her window and waved to me and mouthed "Thank you.", obviously embarrassed that I had repaid her rudeness with kindness.

When I got to the second window I showed them both receipts and took her food too. Now she has to go back to the end of the queue and start all over again.
Good story but I'm not sure what it is you shouldn't have done. Got your own back on the rude lady or go to a McDonald's in the first place. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
I was driving on thr a63 the other day and drove past (not to) 'Pulse & Cocktails'. Everytime I drive past they never have customers (ot at least no cars are there).

It must be a money laundering thing. How do they stay in business?

And before you say online presence....if thats the case why not just be online only.

Drove down the A63 to work for 2 years and can’t say I’ve noticed it :emoticon-0101-sadsm

I've wondered the same thing. There's lots of them around the country, all in slightly strange places, quite often industrial estates. Can only suppose the sites are cheap, there's no housing around so nobody gets offended and at night you can probably park and nobody's likely to see you!

The same divorced from reality fruitloop said that those struggling to make ends meet should work more hours or get a better job. :emoticon-0172-mooni

"We know that one of the best ways for people to boost their income is not only to get into work if they are not in work already, but to work more hours or get upskilled to get a higher income."

I don't know the woman, but in times of global inflation and economic worries, it's fair enough advice.

Yep, she's an economic genius with highly original ideas.

The messenger isn't important, the message is.

European governments now are committed to prioritising their taxpayers money on an expensive war in the east and providing homes, incomes and education to millions of new residents. Even when Labour are voted in, they won't be coming to help any more than the current government. Been the same all over Europe... Different governments, same aims. Best you can do is what she says, because life isn't going to get any easier for a good few years.
