I was in McDonald's, I'm sure that you are familiar with their menu: burgers, fries, chicken sandwich,Filet o fish. That pretty much sums up the options. The menu has remained consistent for about the last 20 or so years, but for some reason the person ahead of me just could not decide what to order.
