All I wanted was iced coffee.

First and foremost, I want to say that this is not a rant about bad service or terrible employees at all.  That being said, in the past week a particularly frustrating phenomenon has happened to me. Okay, here's the situation - I'm in the Drive-Thru at McDonald's on Airline at I 20.  There's a sign in the drive through that says "iced coffee small, $1 all day long!  Every hour is happy hour at McDonald's!"

Now I realize that McDonald's is not the Bastion of delicious iced coffees, but I happen to be there - and I just wanted an iced coffee to go with my Happy Meal. That's a completely normal thing, and since there was a sign about how they loved making iced coffee for just $1, it seemed extremely straightforward.

So, fast forward about 10 minutes.

I get to the window, and it's like "we don't even serve that here sir." Now these poor ladies at the drive-thru had no idea, but there was a sign that said they had $1 iced coffee all day long.

I'm not even singling out McDonald's. I needed to send money to somebody via Western Union, so I foolishly stopped at a convenience store with a Western Union sign thinking that they handled Western Union stuff there.

All I'm saying is, if you own a business and you advertise a service or product with a sign outside your business please make sure you can actually do and/or sell that stuff.
