Where's the beef?

60 Hikes Within 60 Miles: Atlanta: Including Marietta, Lawrenceville, and Peachtree CityI stopped by a favorite fast food chain to try their Salad 2.0 the other day. As I waited behind another car, I heard a loud voice from the customer at the drive-up window. Interested in what was happening, I turned down my Itunes just in time to hear the guy in front of me turn down his radio, and I had a pretty clear sound. I was stunned when the guy let loose with a ten-letter curse word.

An elementary school graduate I thought to myself! The conversation (probably very one-sided continued), but then the car with the angry guy pulled away and the car that turned down its radio to hear pulled forward. As he received his food I pondered what could make the first guy that angry. The only conclusion I could come to was they must be out of his favorite salad dressing!

As radio man pulled out from the drive-up window in record time I noticed angry car had circled in an attempt to further express his dissatisfaction with the level of service gotten from a minimum wage employee. Letting loose with an uncharacteristic 12-letter curse (eighth grade) the car sped off as I received my order, again in an uncharacteristically short time.

What could make the guy that mad at a hamburger place? No ketchup? Maybe he had ordered a burger with no pickles, but there were pickles on it. I just can't imagine what could happen that would make somebody that mad.
