Mads: It's Okay, I'm With Corporate

I was eating at McDonald’s the other day with my Boston friend and Matty, his personal biographer, when I realized my Big Mac wasn’t made properly.

"This is an outrage," I said. "I’m going to go back there and make this right."

So I jumped the counter and pushed the dude out of the way that was constructing the burgers. There was the perfunctory protest from the manager asking me what I was doing, so I showed him my card and let him know:

"It’s okay, I’m with corporate."

It works everytime, and I was allowed my chance to demonstrate to these nervous teenagers how one constructs a proper Big Mac.

I went back to our table.

"Now come on," I said. "That’s gotta be cool enough to keep me from being shipped out to the Branch Office."

"I don’t think so," Matty said. "It was kind of old hat for you."
