There was a time, not too long ago, when the people at McDonald's took your order with a pencil and paper and hand-calculated the price. They did estimated gross sales by the number of buns and burgers used, and hand-counted the waste from a bucket behind the front line.

This makes me wonder... 1) Why these people can't use a calculator, or lord forbid, simple freaking preschool mathematics to figure out our total? I understand if they need to track the orders, but it's noon - the busiest time of the year. Deal with it. 2) What kind of computers are they using that would take that long to reboot and start up? Heck, even Win95 on a slow system would be up and running in 4 minutes at most. Am I crazy... or was I just being cranky because I was hungry?? -rc ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
