On the way from work to pick up kids at school, I needed a drink. Although the fountain drink cost is low, I do not support the 7-11. They are smarmy, all 7-11's are a magnet for crime.

And rarely do I use a drive through, it's against my environmental conscience. But there I went, to McDonald's where a big sign said -

42oz for 69c

Whereupon I got out the coins rattling around in my change purse. Didn't even break a 1 dollar bill.

It was enough for all three of us (mom and 2 kids) on the way home from school.

Now just to remember to bring a 6-pack of drinks to the office refridge and this wouldn't happen anymore!
