Rule Number One at McDonald’s

By Elton Camp

To use the drive-through I prefer

But hate the incidents that occur

“Would you repeat your order, please.”

So often I have heard words like these

“Order when ready,” the worker said

Nevertheless, no sound entered his head

Did his hearing aids go down

Just at the time I came around?

Or would it be uncouth to mention

He was just wasn’t paying attention?

Then sometimes, on the other hand

A worker’s accent is hard to understand

Is that actually English he’s speaking

Or an interpreter should I be seeking?

Rule #1:  “The employee who is hard-of-hearing or has the

thickest accent must work the drive-thru at all times.”
