The Fast Food Fanagle

"I would like a # 6 please.  But, instead of the fries and the drink, may I just have another spicy chicken sandwich instead?"

"Excuse me?"

"Instead of the fries and the drink, can I substitute them with a spicy chicken sandwich?"

"Umm, sorry sir, we can't do that."

"OK, nevermind, I'll just have a # 6 combo meal regular size with two sides of ranch, please."

"$6.89.  Next window, please."

Everytime I get fast food or anything like it, I attempt something that follows the previous conversation.  I don't do it to be obnoxious, I do it because I just want to see if it would ever work.   It never really has worked before, at least not to the point where I actually get what I request.  Normally I try to replace the fries with an extra sandwich or replace the drink with an extra sandwich.  It never works.  I have tried it almost a hundred times and all of my buddies can attest to it.  Without fail, I will always throw in a line.  Note:  I only attempt these crazy requests when it is a female waitress/server/cashier, and even more so if she is cute.  

Well my friends, today is the day I have been waiting for.  I got Wendy's for lunch today because I was feeling go-wrappy.  I ordered two spicy chicken go-wraps and proceeded to the next window.  Apparently the lady in the car in front of me drove off missing a bag of food so the employee hollered out the window for her to come back.  She obviously couldn't hear her so I honked a bunch of times to attempt to get her attention.  She heard me and came back to get her missing bag.  

Employee: "Thanks for honking."

Me: "Does that mean I get a free meal?"

Emplyoee: "Sure, I'll give you a soda or Frosty."

Me: "Hah, really?"

Employee: "Yeah sure, what do you want?"

Me: "A chocolate Frosty.  Are you serious?"

Employee: "Absolutely...here you go."

I was in shock.  I thanked her a bunch of times and went on my merry way.  I haven't had a Frosty in about five years and I probably won't have another for five more years.  This was the best Frosty I have ever had.  I only ate about 10 spoonfuls but it was glorious.  I love Wendy's.  And that is now why I will always attempt a free meal.  The best comparison I can think of right now is the game of golf.  You can take a hundred bad shots and never be happy, but the one great shot you hit is the reason you come back for another round.  And I am going to go to Wendy's for dinner and try another round.
