Today, in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day, I called the McDonald's down the street from my office to make sure they're selling the Shamrock Shakes. Here's how it went down:
"Hello, McDonald's on Woodruff."
"Hey, howyadoing? I was wondering if you guys are selling the Shamrock Shakes."
"No. We're not."
"You're not?"
"No, ma'am. We're not."
I had a feeling this would happen, so I had the number ready for the local McDonald's corporate office. It was "disconnected or no longer in service," which I've always kind of felt was redundant, but the point is that McDonald's is dumb. They're selling freaking McFrappuccinos now, so they feel they can just turn their back on the Shamrock Shake? That's just bad business.
If it's a money thing, McDonald's, forget about providing free wireless access in your restaurant. I promise, I will never use it. I just want a green ice cream novelty treat available during the month of March.
And if you're listening, for the last five years or so I haven't been inside a McDonald's to do anything but pee on roadtrips, but I swear if you put the Shamrock Shake and the McJordan back on the menu, I'll be there every other day.
Friends, please visit this link my coworker, Phi Zeroth, discovered today, and sign the petition. While you're at it, read up on Uncle O'Grimacey, the Irish uncle of Grimace, but I guess you probably figured that out already.
Happy St. Patrick's Day.
