I was headed through Orange County for some afternoon beaching last Sunday when my female chauffeur decided she needed water and was looking for a fast food place to get one at. She planned to just ask for a cup of ice water and I objected and said she should buy something to get it since they’re not in the business of handing out free water. I objected more when she revealed that she was sure she wouldn’t get charged cuz she was a young, cute girl, but then grew more accepting when she said that if they did charge something it would be a few coins and not more, as judged by past expiriences.
She ran into the curb with a loud enough bang that made me have to exit the vehicle and make sure nothing was popped or broken, while pulling into a Burger King, so I dropped the water debate from there to not add further stress to this already terrible woman driver.
We pull up to Burger Kings drive through and asked for an ice water when a voice struggling with the English language replied that “we nah hah no water”. We gave the obvious “wtf” reply in polite terms and after a pause where I think the man behind the microphone asked a superior how to handle the situation and he repeated that they don’t have water, but we could get a bottled water for $1.25 or come inside and get a cup.
Huh? I would have politely explained how god damn ridiculous what he just said was, but of course being a woman and naturally weak in all ways, she ceded and quickly ordered the bottled water.
While driving around to the window though I was persuasive enough to get her to screw Whitey (or in this case, probably not-so-whitey) and drive off instead of continuing the turn around the corner. She did. And we didn’t give Burger King the satisfaction of charging us a dollar twenty five for water that would have been overpriced at just .25 and we would have gladly paid.
Oddly, the temperature rose instead of declined as the day wore on and we were both miserably thirsty for hours until we finally got back to her place.
