My neighborhood McDonald's offered US$.29 hamburgers and US$.39 cheeseburgers all day yesterday, for one day only, in commemoration of "Tax Day." Since I found myself short of both time and money, I decided to take them up on it. We've worked hard all year, we deserve a break today. Right? My 16-year-old son, Kevin, and I got in line in the drive thru at 5:45. After ten minutes, and by which time we were trapped into single file by a tunnel of cement wall from which no exit was possible, I began to doubt my plan. After eleven minutes, I thoroughly questioned my sanity. We spent twenty-three minutes stuck in a fast-food bureaucratic morass, and ultimately were entitled to acquire a maximum of five hamburgers. I only paid US$2.09, inlcuding tax, but my time is worth something, isn't it? "Mom, it's OK," Kevin said, in a kind attempt to assuage my indignation. "Next time we'll remember." And to think, after all that, not even the calories are deductible.
