The other day we drove to Kinasao first thing in the morning, and as is customary for us, we planned to get a super easy breakfast on the way. The issue is, Warman and Martensville don’t have strawberry cream cheese anymore, and we all like it best. So, later this summer, we had investigated our other options, one of them being *takes a deep breath* McDonalds apple pies.
I know I know I know they’re trash they’re dessert you feed your kids that stuff?!?!
Yes. I do. Occasionally. Its really going to be ok.
So, as we have learned to do, I called McDonalds as we drove, and I politely tipped them off that we were on our way and planned to order 14 apple pies.
Things I never thought I’d say.
Anyway. The person on the phone told me they don’t usually make them in the early morning (shocker) but since we wanted so many, they’d happily do it. She thanked me profusely for calling ahead.
So fifteen minutes later or so, we drove up to the window, and Brady spoke to the person taking orders.
“Hi there! My wife called ahead earlier for fourteen apple pies.” We were both laughing like fools.
There was a longer pause than we expected, and she asked us to just hold on for a minute. We looked at each other, and I know we were both thinking our pies got lost in the shuffle and they hadn’t been put in. Which would’ve been completely fine, to be clear! Nooooo one was mad here. We were just oddly self conscious, haha! The order taker finally came back on the speaker and said…
“I’m sorry, I know you called for fourteen apple pies, and we have them, but there is no order on the screen here…..”

Brady hesitantly responded with “I’d like to order fourteen apple pies, please.”
“For sure!” said the McDonalds employee.
We laughed SO HARD. Not because we’re jerks, but it just felt like a very odd interaction. Was the next step not quite clearly to enter them as an order? I don’t know. But we got a good laugh.
When we got to the window, the woman who brought them to us was also laughing. It seemed like the entire thing was all around strange, but we were all pretty light hearted about it, and that made it better.
Anyway. McDonalds apple pies for breakfast. You should try it. But, call first.
