Just so wrong

Okay. Now I need to preface my story with saying that... I.REALLY.LOVE.ME.SOME.DIET.COKE!!! I mean really - especially fountain diet cokes. Well, a couple of years ago our family had to go on the debt diet after paying for a bunch of private school for our kids that we couldn't afford at the time (just keepin it real here). So, my fountain diet cokes had to fall into the "Latte Factor" section of our budget - so basically they became very much of a priveledge only 2 times a week. Well now that we aren't on such a tight budget, I still adhere to kind of a strict budget when it comes to my diet cokes. For instance, I love Sonic diet cokes, but I refuse to pay full price for them, so I am only allowed to go to Sonic during Happy Hour from 2-4. If I have to have a fountain DC - I have to go to QT for one where they are only 89 cents - even if QT is miles out of my way.

So all of that to say that today.... I decided to splurge.... I got my hair done, so I'm feelin good and I had several errands to run and it is no where near Happy Hour time and there is no QT anywhere close. So I was kind of craving that McDonalds styrofoam cup fountain diet coke combination. $1.89 for a large DC! Ouch! Ohhhh that was a lot, but it was gonna be so good and worth it on this special day of getting beutified as I had done. So, I drive off with my expensive DC and take my first drink. YUKKK! No carbination!!! NASTY! I quickly turn my car around and go back through the drive through where there are workers all around the McDonalds building doing all kinds of construction on the outside of the building. I tell the lady and her manager at the window that this DC is not good - it's flat - no carbination - comprende????? "Oh" they said, "do you want something else? diet coke is not working today". I said, "no, I don't want anything else. can I have my money back? I mean it was $1.89 and it's no good" The manager then said, "okay, we are sorry, no drinks are working today because of construction. all are flat" (say all that with a spanish accent please)

So this is what I want to know...
1. why did they ask me if I wanted something else, when they knew all the drinks were flat???
2. why didn't they tell me their drinks were flat when I ordered???
3. are they really gonna let all the customers order drinks and then serve them flat all day long????
4. why in the world does construction cause their drinks to go flat??? I don't really think that construction was the problem, but whatever!

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. That was just so wrong on so many levels. I am now sitting here with my nasty CAN of diet coke. Next best thing.
