We went inside to the little McDonald's to get everyone a milkshake. Well you know we have quite a brood, so it's not a small order to ask for 9 milkshakes of varying sizes and flavors. When the order taker gave the order back to the teenage girl near the shake machine, she said "I am NOT making all of those!!!" And she just stood there. I was shocked. Ummm hello I'm a customer, hello you are the worker, hello??? It was really odd to me. But juxtaposing that with what you wrote above, I see where it came from. I did ultimately feel some empathy, hey I know it is hard to serve all of us (and I don't get paid to do it), but it was surprising to me that a teen, with a good summer job, would flat out refuse (in front of a TON of people, workers and customers) to do her duty. Ultimately an older worker did the order and the teen, she popped the cherries on top! I saw what you are talking about when we were at Union Station this summer.
