#27 The McNugget Mastermind
One day, long ago, when time was new and things were different, I was waiting in line to order at McDonald’s drunk off my keister. The guy ahead of me ordered a six-piece nugget.
I thought to myself, don’t get a six-piece nugget, get two four-piece nuggets. He turned around and said, what did you just say to me? And I said, “Oh god that was out loud, wasn’t it?”
I explained that, at the time, six nuggets were $2.16. Four pieces were on the dollar menu. He could have been getting two more nuggets for sixteen cents less.
He turned back to the counter and said, “Yeah. Do what that guy said.”
