Stories from the front: Van Zwol
Van Zwol tells us to avoid, at all costs, the McDonald's in Peyson, AZ, at the highway interchange of 260 and 87.
He went there once, years ago, to try and stop in to grab a quick bite to eat and do the restroom thing. When he came to the counter to order -- it was that time of the morning when nobody was in there, almost lunchtime but not quite -- he tried to get the attention of the guy behind the counter.
It took far too long for him to do that. Van Zwol snapped out his order. Van Zwol is not a patient guy. Counter guy shuffles over to the back. "Hey, we got any Big Macs?" he hollers out. "Yeah," comes the holler back.
Counter guy shuffles back to cash register. Each button takes about thirty seconds to press, and Van Zwol's just standing there, getting pissier and pissier by the moment. Eventually the counter guy realizes that he should be asking the guys in the back to put the order together, instead of whatever the hell it was that he was doing...
What should have been a two minute transaction took about ten. Meanwhile, a crowd of tourists had flooded in...
...Van Zwol holds grudges. Way he told it, it was damn funny, just like the skunk story...
