I Deserve A Break Today

Sometimes, on my way home from work, I like to stop at the McDonalds drive-thru for an ice cream cone. Now, since I'm driving, I always ask for a cup for the ice cream cone. Afterall, I really don't want to drive around with ice cream dripping down my hand. I would say that about 80% of the time, when I ask for a cup, I get a puzzled look from the employees. After they finally figure out what I am asking for, about 90% of the workers try to turn the ice cream cone upside down into the cup, as opposed to just putting the cup over the ice cream and then flipping it over.


About two weeks ago, I stopped for a cone. As usual, I asked for a cup. The worker's response, "A WHAT?! YOU WANT A WHAT?!" After shouting at me, I guess she still didn't understand. So, she went and asked a manager, who gave her a funny look. Then, in a matter of fact way, told her to give me a cup.


A cup?! Is that such an odd request?
