Kule Rosh Hashanah edlule ngoSepthemba, ngabuza umngane wami omkhulu, u-Erin, ukuthi uhlele ukumlethela ini endlini kamama wakhe. Ngima kwaMcDonald's ngenzela iqhwa, washo okuyiqiniso, kwangathi ukucosha iqhwa ku-hamburger franchise kwakuyisiko elifana nesobho lebhola le-matzo. Uya kwaMcDonald's for ice? ngibuze.
Yebo, umama uyangithuma. Kulungile, kufanele ngihambe.
Ingxoxo ingishiye…ngimangele. Okokuqala, ngangingakaze ngizwe ngalesi siko leqhwa likaMcDonald kuyo yonke iminyaka engu-20-plus esibe ngabangane. Futhi okwesibili, wenza sengathi wayema kwaMickey D ukuze athole iqhwa Ngamaholide Aphakeme kwakuyinto eyenziwa yiwo wonke umuntu. Ngisho nangendlela ayesebenzisa ngayo (njengoba ku i ice) iveze ukuthi lokhu bekubaluleke kakhulu.
Izingcingo eziningi, inja yokutholwa kanye nezinyanga ezimbalwa kamuva, into yeqhwa yakwaMcDonald yayisangigcina ebusuku. Ingabe lokhu kwenziwa ngabanye abantu? Ingabe iqhwa likaMcDonald lingcono kakhulu? Ungakwazi nje, uthanda, ukuyi-oda lapho ushayela? Ingabe banayo isikhwama futhi balungele ukuhamba? Bahleke uma uthi One bag of ice, please!? Imibuzo eminingi…
Ngakho-ke nganquma ukuyiphenya le ndaba. Kodwa okokuqala, kwadingeka ngiqonde ngqo emthonjeni: Umama ka-Erin, uKathy. Ngabhalela uKathy namadodakazi akhe (abangane bami), u-Erin noDaniella, i-imeyili:
Mayer ladies,
Ngaphonsa indaba yeqhwa likaMcDonald eqenjini lami, futhi lalifuna ukuthi ngiyiphenye ngokugcwele indaba. Uma ukhululekile ukukhuluma ngale ndaba ekhetheke kakhulu, ubungathanda ukuphendula imibuzo engezansi? Lokhu kungase kugcine kube isiko lami elikhulu.
Kungani i-McDonald's ice ibamba? Yini eyenza kube ngcono? (Thembeka.)
Ivamise ukubiza malini?
Uqale nini ukuthola lokhu kugebenga kokusingatha?
Ingabe izihambeli ziyake ziphawule ngekhwalithi yeqhwa?
Unquma kanjani ukuthi iyiphi indodakazi ofuna ukuyolanda iqhwa?
Ngothando,
I-Dara

Ngalinda. Ngalinda amahora angu-48 anzima kakhulu ekuphileni kwami. Kodwa-ke i-imeyili entsha yavela phezulu ebhokisini lami lokungenayo. KwakunguKathy.
Dara,
Kuyahlekisa ukuthi ufuna ukwenza indaba ngeqhwa !!!
Noma kunjalo, nansi indaba yami:
Ngaqala ukufunda ngeqhwa likaMcDonald lapho ngimenywe ephathini kwamakhelwane futhi ngabona ukuthi iqhwa lakhe lalimnandi kangakanani. Ngiphawule ngakho futhi wangitshela ukuthi uthumela umyeni wakhe kwaMcDonald's ukuze bathole iqhwa noma nini lapho benephathi. Nami, ngimangele ukuthi uMcDonald's (1) uthengise iqhwa emphakathini futhi (2) ukuthi othile uzoya lapho ukuze alithenge, noma kunjalo, ikhwalithi yayiyinhle kangangokuthi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi kulapho ngiya khona ukuze ngithole iqhwa.
Isizathu sokuthi ngilithande kakhulu iqhwa ukuthi ama-cubes eza ngonxande abancane, okwenza iqhwa lihlukane kalula ukuze liphake. Amakhyubhu abonakala ecace kunesilinganiso sakho osithenge esitolo i-ice cube, futhi ngizwa sengathi isiphuzo siyaqabula kancane ngala ma-cubes. (Futhi, igwema ukushayeka phansi isikhwama seqhwa kuze kube yilapho kuchitheka phansi, izama ukuhlephula ama-cubes.)
Angazi ukuthi iqhwa libiza malini, njengoba angikaze ngiye ukuyozithengela mina mathupha. Ukuthumela umuntu ukuthi ayothenga iqhwa kungenye yezinzuzo zokusingatha umcimbi.
Ngivame ukuthumela u-Erin noJacob ukuze bayothola iqhwa, njengoba ngokuvamile beshayela baye enyakatho futhi bangakwazi ukulilanda endleleni. Izikhathi ezimbalwa zokugcina, nokho, bangitshele ukuthi abakwaMcDonald babengenayo iqhwa futhi balethe isikhwama seqhwa elivamile. Ngisola ukuthi abangitsheli iqiniso ngoba abakaze bangibheke emehlweni uma bengitshela lokhu. Ungase ufune ukubabuza ukuthi kungani bezonda kangaka ukuthenga iqhwa kwaMcDonald’s.
Ngazise uma ngingathola olunye usizo kulolu phenyo olubalulekile.
Ngiyakuthanda,
Kathy

Lapho ngithola ukuphawula mayelana nokusolwa kukanina, u-Erin waphendula nge-imeyili, Haha, Mama!! Akulona iqiniso lelo!!! Sebedayisiwe, ngiyafunga! Hmm. Ngimphushele kuso. Kungani ukuzonda ukucosha iqhwa? Ngimthumelele umyalezo. Wanamathela endabeni yakhe: Angazi! Ngabe sengimbuza futhi ukuthi ucabanga ukuthi kubiza malini, waphendula, idk…? UJakobe wayezokwazi.
Ngathumelela uJacob umlayezo othi, Uyazi ukuthi i-McDonald's ice ibiza malini oyilanda no-Erin? Ngamaholide afanayo? Wasabela ngokushesha. Futhi futhi, bekungesikho ebengikulindele, Lol angazi ngithanda u- noma okuthize. Kushibhile ngempela. U-Popeyes uyakwenza futhi. Waqhubeka echaza ukuthi nakuba engakaze abe neqhwa likaPopeyes, ezinye izindawo zithengisa izikhwama zamakhilogremu ayishumi nge-$ 1, futhi nakuba engakaze azame, uyaqiniseka ukuthi kuhle, ngoba iqhwa. Uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi ungakwazi, empeleni, uku-oda iqhwa kusuka ku-drive-through.
Futhi ngenkathi indaba kwakubonakala Ngokuphelele, imibuzo kaKathy yahlala engqondweni yami: Ingabe u-Erin wayeqamba amanga? Ingabe iMcDonald’s ike yaphuma eqhweni?
Kwadingeka ngibuze uJakobe umbuzo owodwa wokugcina: Ingabe uMcDonald's uke aphume eqhweni? Ngalinda ngabomvu njengoba amachashazi amathathu ecwayiza, ebonisa ukuthi wayebhala. Ekugcineni, umlayezo waduma: Ehe, owake wavala owaseWaukegan ngoKhisimusi futhi kwadingeka siye egalaji likaphethiloli.
Boom. Indaba kaJakobe yasekela ukumangalelwa kukaKathy, kodwa ukusesha okusheshayo kwe-Google kwabonisa ukuthi uMcDonald's okukhulunywa ngaye wavalwa ngoSuku lukaKhisimusi, okuchaza ukudumala kukaKathy. futhi Ukwehluleka kuka-Erin noJacob ukuletha iqhwa likaMcDonald. Noma kunjalo, angisoze ngazi ngempela ukuthi u-Erin noJacob bake baqamba amanga yini ngezinye izikhathi, kodwa nginomuzwa wokuthi umsebenzi wami usuphelile.
Indaba ende kafushane: Ungathenga iqhwa ngobuningi kwaMcDonald's (nakwaPopeyes). Kushibhile, kuyikhwalithi enhle futhi ungakwazi ukuthumela izingane zakho ukuthi zikwenze uma ufuna ukuzinika okuthile ukuze uzigcine zimatasa.
