McDonalds commercial

Watching the Sunday night Colts vs Giants football game, and there's a McDonald's commercial, strictly for their MacCafe coffee.

Bearded guy can't be bothered to talk to his friends or a beautiful woman on his bus, "not til I've had my coffee."

Goes to McDonalds, the clerk starts saying, "Would you like to have our..."

and he interrupts her, "Not before I've had my coffee."

Now in real life you know the clerk would keep a stoic face, perhaps, and not say word one. She wants this jerk gone as soon as possible.

Instead she smiles brightly and says, "premium roast MacCafe coffee."

And he buys it, drinks it, gets an orgasmic expression on his face which seems to be de rigeur for anyone eating or drinking in a commercial, and then he walks back to his office or wherever he's going, and now he's all cheerful, talking to people.

And frankly, I found this offensive, the more so because I actually used to work with someone who was "not a morning person," and so couldn't muster up a polite smile or anything, and indeed was quite rude until they woke up. So everyone else in the office had to suffer because she couldn't be bothered to be polite until she felt like it.
