Driving Through Multiple Conversations

(I pull up to the speaker.)

Employee: “Welcome to [Fast Food Place]. Please hold for a moment.”

(I do so, my passenger and I talking while we wait, but after a couple of minutes pass I get worried.)

Me: *to passenger* “I think that they forgot us.” *to speaker* “Hello…? Are you there? Hellooooooo?”

Employee: *silence*

Different Employee: *after a minute* “HELLO?”

Me: “Hi! There you are!”

Second Employee: “Um, you haven’t ordered yet.”

Me: “No, because you haven’t asked for my order yet.”

Second Employee: “Okay?”

(A third employee handed us our food after we finally ordered, laughing the whole time.)
