When I was a kid in the early '50s Mom ALWAYS made green pancakes for us. We wouldn't eat them unless they were green. Even today, I'll still make them that way just for the memory. They actually do taste better that way. ;-)
I really had a bad attitude one day with a kid in McDonald's who was too ignorant to understand that Medium is the middle size, that the customer is always right, and that picking your battles is what it's about.
"...and a medium Diet-Coke, please"
"We don't have medium, we have Regular, Large, & Supersize."
"Insulting a customer by telling him you don't have a medium sized drink is not a good practice."
No matter what I said, it went downhill from there. I'm assuming he's been promoted to Manager by now. They love those who toe the company line at McDonald's.
