A friend and I went to McDonald's for some dipped cones at this location near my place that makes a mean dipped cone in comparison to the rest of the places I've tried. While we were waiting in the drive-thru to pay and get our cones we see a sign that informs us of a no shirt, no shoes, no service policy (along with the standard we hate your pets and cigarettes jargon, but that's to be expected isn't it?). We're in the drive thru so we think to ourselves "what are they going to do? Not sell us food at 11:30?" So we take off our shirts, shoes, pants, and underwear before pulling up to the window.
There was this girl about our age, maybe a couple of years older, who came to the window, the look on her face was priceless. She takes our money, but she's acting really nervous and drops it all on the ground, telling us not to worry about it. We give it to her anyway.
When she comes back with our cones she hands them to us and says "I bet you boys will need some napkins." I started on my cone, spilling the ice cream all over my chest while she was grabbing the napkins and side glancing into the car. She hands my friend, the driver, the napkins, shaking. My friend takes a right raunchy lick off of his cone, breaking the fudge, then he pulls off.
That set of events really made our night and probably hers too.
