When I was a little girl, I was completely mystified by McDonald's restaurants and their amazing ability to have exactly what you ordered ready so quickly.
I used to believe, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that each and every McDonald's employed a psychic. This psychic would sit in a small, white room and predict what each and every person was going to order before they even arrived at the restaurant. The psychic would then tell the cooks what to prepare so that your food was ready and piping hot when you got there.
