Fast Food Bud

I don't go out to eat very often.  At least I don't think I do.  I bring my lunch to work in a brown paper sack from home each day.  (My wife is really nice to make me a lunch).  During tax season, though, sometimes I get hungry at about dinner time.  There's only so many times I can eat ramen without puking, so I do venture out of my basement office for some fast food more often at this time of year than I normally would.

Today I decided to go to the world's first KFC.  Used the drive-thru.  Placed my order.  And the guy inside called me "Bud" no less than 10 times.  I'm not joking.  I hope that someone dared him to say Bud as many times as he could, otherwise, he's got some issues.  Maybe he should change up the names he calls people and not use Bud so much.  Try Ace... or Sport... or Slick... or Big Guy... or Chief...  There are a lot of options.

Here's our conversation, basically:

Guy: "Welcome to KFC, what can I make for you tonight?"

Me: "I'll have chicken fried steak meal, please."  (I know it's not good for me, but it tastes so good.)

Guy: "Okay, Bud, I got a fried steak meal.  Do you want a drink, too, Bud?"

Me: "Sure."

Guy: "Okay, Bud.  I've got that drink for you.  What else can I get for you, Bud?"

Me: "That's it, thanks."

Guy: "Okay, Bud, your total is $$$.  Please pull to the second window, Bud."

Then I drive up there and the conversation continues...

Guy: "How are you doing tonight, Bud?"

Me: "Fine, thanks."

Guy: "Your total is $$$."

I hand over the money and then...

Guy: "Okay, Bud.  Here's your drink and here's your change.  And here's your fried steak meal.  Anything else I can get for you, Bud?"

Me: "No, I'm good, thanks."

Guy: "Alright, you have a good evening, Bud."

As I left I said, "You, too, Chief!"
