MC DONALD'S: New Hope

Today Coach Teas was with me as we made a supper stop after the Minnesota State girls AAU basketball tournament. I ordered supper, Coach Teas needed his Ice Cream fix. I happen to be partial to beef and I also happen to like cheese as you can see from previous orders.

Place: McDonald's, 4201 Winnetka, New Hope, MN 55429
Date: Saturday, May 10, 2008
Meal: Supper
Order: Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese meal (#4) with a medium Diet Coke (Coach Teas ordered one large vanilla cone)
Total cost: $6.81
Method: Drive Through
Time entered line: 7:41 pm (there were no cars waiting)
Wait to order: no cars in front, zero (it took 22 seconds to complete the order)
Wait to pay: 1:10
Wait for food: 0:35
Total elapsed time: 2:07
Insulin dose: 6

The paying portion of the transaction took longer because Coach Teas' credit card wouldn't take on the first swipe. They asked if we wanted to use another card. On the second swipe everything worked out fine.
This wasn't as fast as White Castle on Wednesday (1:44), but at 2:07 it was quite fast. Without the credit card issue it may have won the fastest title.
