McDonalds sketch - Mercorabilia

For your (hopefully) entertainment and delight, may I humbly present the second sketch from my Mercorabilia collection - a selection of sketches inspired by a certain Souvenir Programme but written by yours truly.


(Scene: A Fast Food Restaurant)
Customer: Now have you got all that?
Cashier: Yes.
Customer: You’re sure? You don’t want to run through it – just to check?
Cashier: No. No – I think I’ve got it.
Customer: Really?
Cashier: Yes.
Customer: You don’t want to say it back to me? Just to see?
Cashier: No – I should be fine.
Customer: Really?
Cashier: Yes.
Customer: …Oh go on! That’s the whole reason I ordered it!
Cashier: That’s the whole reason you ordered it?
Customer: Yes!
Cashier: You mean you don’t actually want to eat it?
Customer: Of course I don’t actually want to eat it! Who on earth would want to?
Cashier: So the whole point of you ordering it was for me to say it.
Customer: Yes!
Cashier: Right. Next!
Customer: No. No – wait. Look…look – this is a restaurant, right?
Cashier: Yes.
Customer: And I’m the customer, right?
Cashier: Yes.
Customer: And the customer’s always right?
Cashier: Mmm.
Customer: So…?
Cashier: Well – sir – look at it this way. …This is a restaurant, right?
Customer: Yeah.
Cashier: We serve food, right?
Customer: Yeah.
Cashier: People come in here who want food.
Customer: Mmm.
Cashier: Food that they actually want to eat. So…?
Customer: Ok. Ok. Look – if you’ll just say the order for me and I promise I’ll go away.
Cashier: You promise?
Customer: I promise – Scout’s Honour.
Cashier: Ok (clears throat). Sir – you ordered… twoallbeefpatties,specialsauce,lettuce,cheese,pickles,onionsonasesameseedbun!
Customer: Yaay!
(Possibly have voiceoff: Got it – one big mac)
Cashier: Happy now, sir?
Customer: Yes.
Cashier: Good. Next!
