Apparently, not so much, based on my recent experiences.

After visiting a local McDonald’s facility, it brings me great humor to say that if you order a Happy Meal, you might be docked a few ingredients.

When I ordered a Happy Meal, I was told that they were out of “Happy.”

I’m sorry....WHAT?!?

They had run out of said “Happy” earlier.

Oh, okay...WHAT?!?

I proceeded to order everything else that came with it, meal and toy included, but I was still (clearly) perplexed.

I would have let that slide if it wasn’t for the following occurrence.

I went to a local Taco Bell joint. I know, gross, but actually quite sufficient, considering my schedule and my diet.

We all know that Taco Bell has a variety of options, but let’s be honest, there are about 4 ingredients that make up all of them.

So I get to drive thru, and I see that there are no burritos or quesadillas left. Hmmmm. That doesn’t leave much, but okay.

I ask for a taco-type object, only to be rejected.

So let me get this straight - no burritos, quesadillas, okay. But you’re Taco Bell and have no tacos - DO YOU HAVE ANY BELLS?

Maybe some refried beans in a cup will do.

Lastly...

Try going to a coffee shop that exists WITHIN a supermarket. When they tell you they can't make your drink because they have run out of an ingredient, I always tend to turn around to take a gander of all the fresh produce and groceries we are surrounded by before proceeding to purchase a simpler beverage. Perplexed, yet again.

Here’s what I learned:

Shoot for the moon – if you miss, you’ll be happy that you’re not alone on the moon.

Don’t visit fast food restaurants between the hours of 12 PM and 11AM if you want service.
