it’s just 0.54 cents, 12.12.24

we had dinner in worcester. there’s a great japanese spot and their hibachi is amazing. afterwards we got ice cream for dessert and talked in the car for hours. on the way home, i was still hungry so i stopped at a mcdonalds. crazy enough, they were closed and didn’t have a drive through. that’s a first as i’ve never see a mcd’s without a drive thru. i went to another mcdonald’s a few exits down. i wasn’t full from dinner and dessert, but i wasn’t that hungry so i went on the app to see what deals they had. i had points expiring so i went for a 6-piece nugget and then i saw they had a 50-cent double cheeseburger coupon. i pulled up to the window and the girl said the card had declined, but then said, “it’s just 0.54 cents.” lmaooooooooo. turns out the card i had on the mcdonald’s app had expired, which i knew because they sent me a new one this past week, but i never updated my payment. they were nice, but they probably thought i was broke af lol. which, there wouldn’t be anything wrong if i was broke, but i drove off laughing thinking about her saying “it’s just 0.54 cents.” i told e about it and we laughed at it for a good minute or two.

it was embarassing, but the food was really good as it hit the spot on a late-night drive home.
