Get the perfect shake at a fast food place?? First, you find out if they have the necessary ingredients on the menu. Then, you purchase whatever you need to get those ingredients. Then, you instruct the employees on how to put it all together.
For example, let's take Wendy's. They have an item on the menu that is called a "Frosty Shake." The Frosty Shake is AWFUL ... it tastes like .... well, the taste is indescribably bad.
However, they also have a plain "Frosty" on the menu which is essentially very good soft serve ice cream. It only comes in vanilla and chocolate ... but since chocolate is what I need ... that's ok.
Then, they have chocolate milk on the menu ... again ... good.
So, I purchase a Frosty Shake and a chocolate milk. Then, I tell them that instead of having my shake made with vanilla Frosty and chocolate syrup (which is their usual way of doing things), I want them to pour about the same amount of chocolate milk into the glass and fill the rest with Chocolate Frosty. Then, spin it up as usual.
It makes for a really lovely chocolate shake.
I only had one Wendy's employee ever give me a hard time about making my shake the way I like it ... and I pulled out my cell phone and called Wendy's corporate offices right there and then and bitched about her inability to comply with what was a fairly simple request by a customer. She has had the sense to keep her mouth shut since then.
I make the character of Sally (from "When Harry Met Sally") look like one of the most reasonable people on the planet. No one will ever accuse me of being "low maintenance."
