I drove through at McDonald's, and it was one of those times where you pay at the first window and then pick up your food at the second. Not all the McDonald's employees are versatile enough to give you your change AND your food. Luckily, McDonald's managers are usually astute enough to recognize which employees can't and train them to specialize in one or the other.
But anyway, I stopped at the first window, handed over a credit card and got it back. Then I kept the car stopped in front of the window for two to three more seconds as I was putting the credit card back in my wallet. I guess the cashier mistook this delay as confusion on my part, because she said, "You pick up your food at the next window."
What I WANTED to say was, "I'm 27 years old. I know what the protocols for a drive-thru are." To my credit, rather than administering sass, I counted to ten and decided to just play dumb instead... "Oh, I gotta stop at ANOTHER window to get my food? Word? Okay."
What do I do or what is it about me that compels people to treat me like a retard?

maybe Dwight told them that you were mentally challenged as a prank?
i was at a taco bell a while ago, and the guy in the window not only took my money AND gave me my food, but he ALSO dispensed words of warning. i had my earbuds in my ears, since i listen to my ipod while driving, and the taco bell employee told me that i shouldn't do that! it really angered me to be admonished by a minimum wage employee. when that taco bell later went out of business, it pleasured me to imagine that he was now unemployed.
you know you love me. xoxo
this reminds me of when we were in Atlanta and Mike came running into Chuck E. Cheese and I followed him and the guy at the rope didn't let us in until you, bro and BRE walked in and he said "oh, there's the parents." that was not a beautiful memory.
Well, do be honest, you do have a dreamy "I'm not paying attention" look when you're not paying attention. Maybe he or she picked up on that and figured you weren't paying attention and wouldn't know where to pick up your food.
You should have yelled at the taco bell guy, "I'm sorry, what was that? My music is too loud to hear you."
