@fionajean
according to my old Latin teacher in high school, ipse dixit roughly means "whatever I say is right and it doesn't matter what I say cause I'm saying it".....though I'm not that brazen (see blog description)

...actually, that's why I went, too! Six nuggets aren't enough, I thought the fries would curb my hunger - NOT!

Why didn't they just tell you that in the first place?
By the way, does Ipse Dixit mean statement of intent? I assume it means the same in the US as it does here in South Africa?

Contradict themselves?
No way......I just would have got a refund....they could have always given my order to another customer. Sad but true

I bet if you would have demanded your food for free for not getting exactly what you ordered you may have seen some of those lost fries

I gave it a second thought, actually....
I'm still convinced that it was all a ploy to pitch the Oriental food to avoid having it go to waste....there are three other McD's in town...surely one of them must have had some in stock?
