Things to avoid doing at McDonalds if you don't want me to laugh at you...

OK.... So over the past nearly 4 years at good ol' Mickey D's I have come across some (this is nice saying) interesting people. I have SOOOO many stories of things that are said to me or a fellow employee.

I will proceed to list these stories with some of them having pre-storie context to help you understand the funniness of the situation.

ME=McDonalds Employee  MC=McDonalds Customer

#1... ME: What can we make for you?   MC: A McCafe Hot Chocolate. ME: Ok, would you like that made with Whole or Nonfat milk? MC: What's the Difference?  Melissa thinking (Are you serious...) after a good chuckle ME gets back to customer saying... ME: One has lots of fat and one has no fat. (Really people... what is the difference between whole and non-fat milk)

#2... Pre-Story...Customer pulls up to speaker and is not even fully to a stop...MC: HELLO... (clearing throat sound very loudly)... Hello is anyone there...(extremely annoying whistling)... HELLO HELLO HELLO (all this with in a 5 sec time fame) ME:Hi what can we make for you?  MC: Ummm.. Just a sec...     (People PLEASE do not hello us if you are not even ready to order!!!!!)

#3... Pre-Story... A McD Egg McMuffin is made with Egg, Canadian Bacon, and Cheese...MC: Calling McDonalds to Complain... Melissa:(answering the phone)...Logan McDonalds this is Melissa.  MC:WHO IS THIS???? Melissa: Like I said this is Logan McDonalds and my name is Melissa, how can I help you?  MC... Yes, I just came through your drive thru and ordered an Egg Mcmuffin with no egg and when I got home I checked my bag and I got a Muffin with Cheese and Canadian Bacon!!! Melissa: Ok... what is the problem? An egg mcmuffin with no egg would be a muffin with cheese and Canadian. I wanted a muffin with NO CHEESE AND ONLY SAUSAGE!!! That is why I ordered an EGG MCMUFFIN WITH NO EGG!!!!   Melissa: Ok mam, I am sorry that you did not receive..(them I am cut off) MC: I am not going to argue with you I just want what I want and that is what I expect every time I come!!! Melissa: Ok mam... next time if you could please just ask for a Sausage McMuffin with no cheese then you will get a muffin with only sausage. MC: I WANT AN EGG MCMUFFIN NO EGG... THAT WOULD BE A MUFFIN WITH NO CHEESE ONLY SAUSAGE!!!!
Melissa (wants to say): Well mam since you seem to think you know better than me as to how to work here please apply at www.mcstate.com. Instead Melissa says...sorry for the inconvenience, have a great day.

#4... MC: I would like a #3 with Coffee.  ME: Ok Sir would you like that with Cream or Sugar. I would like it BLACK and could you put two sugars in the coffee please. (What???) I don't drink coffee myself and I know that when you order a coffee black that is with NO cream and NO sugar... Silly people...

I know that there are soooo many more stories to come. I will be making this a frequent blog. If for no one else's enjoyment but for my own. I love the quality of people that are living and breathing amongst us in this country.

On a side note.... McDonalds New Oatmeal... DELICIOUS!!!!

Borders & Burger King's Bash with the Bunces

Borders is closing their doors permanently in Logan and so I was there picking up some anatomy books and things to help me finish my Personal Trainer Class and I found some awesome flash cards... I am pretty excited!


After we checked out we decided to go get Grayson some BK Chicken Tenders (his favorite). They asked him if he would like to have a crown... Yeah for BK crowns!
Grayson is such a cutie! He kept trying to put the crown on daddy's head. Luckily he did succeed a couple times and don't worry I got some pictures...


 I am loving the intense disintrest Kasey is trying to portray in this photo. :)

  




 Don't tell anyone that we were eating at the competition... I don't typically like fast food, especially since I live at McDonalds. I also know how completely unhealthy it is, but
I am human and I have temptations... and some time I give in. :(  I'm hoping within the year to start a super realistic healthy life style.

Our Family in a Nut Shell...

Hello Everyone,

So this is the FIRST blog for the Bunce family. I will introduce my little family and explain a little about what makes us tick... Throught out my Blogs I will share some of my Favorite and Not so Favorite Recipie cooking Adventures.

My Name is Melissa Laird Bunce... I am 26 and we currently live in Logan, Utah. I was born in England on an American Air Force Base on November 15. I grew up in Idaho Falls Idaho. I attended Hillcrest High School where I graduated in May/2003. I moved to Logan, Utah in October/2004 and have lived here for 6 years. I currently work as a Manager at the Local McDonald's... I know that it is not the ideal job, but I am very happy to have a good job in these hard economic times. They treat me well and I have been there for 3 1/2 years. I am currently working towards becoming a Certified Personal Trainer/Nutrisionist. I know (again) Person Trainer/Nutristionist and McDonalds...? But I am (like I said) so Happy to have a job!  I am excited to be able to help others become the best and healthiest they can be. I love to Cook, Work Out, listen to audio books, (I know... Lame, but I don't have a lot of time but I still love books so audio books are by best alternative.) play at the park with my baby, and watch a few of my favorite shows (Vampire Diaries, Glee, Law and Order SVU and Biggest Looser). My Husband, Kasey Bunce and I were Married in September/2008.

Kasey has lived in Logan Utah (Cache Valley) his entire life. He was born  January 26 in the Logan Hospital. He has worked in the Machinist field for 12 years and is currently working at local machine shop here in Logan. Kasey Graduated in 1999 from Sky View High School. He loves to work on cars and play with is live size arcade Racing Play Seat. He Loves action movies and Everybody Loves Raymond. During the summer we love to go on Bike Rides with our Son Grayson Bunce. I know Bike Rides... What is that?!? But it is a great cardio exercise and I love the (semi-fresh) air.

Grayson Bunce was Born June 1st, 2009. When he was born he stayed for a week in the NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit. His first, nearly two years of life have FLOWN by. He learned to crawl on the day of his 9 months doctors appt. and he learned to walk on the day of his 12 month doctors appointment. He has given us a couple health scares... (a serious Flu, where he lost 5 pounds within 3 days... and he just recently fought off pneumonia) but over all he is quite the Healthy little guy. Our biggest challenge in the past few months as parents has been taking away  the binkis. He was BIG into pacifiers and taking them all away was tough on all of us! He currently has a vocab of 11 words... He says.. Mommy, Daddy, baby, Ruff Ruff (doggy), Kitty, Candy, Soccer, BasyBall (basketball or bouncy ball, which ever applies to the situation) :) Uh oh, owy, and banana. He is SO technologically inclined.. He knows how to work and Ipod Touch or IPhone that he can get his hand on and loves to make phone calls whenever mom and dad aren't watching. He loves Music and LOVES to dance!!! His favorite Movies and TV shows are Mickey Mouse Club House, Handy Manny, Special Agent OSO, and Phineas and Furb. He loves the outdoors and always, always, always, wants to go outside... even if mommy and daddy are still in their PJ's. 

I can't wait to share all my fun experiences with all of you and am excited for the opportunity of helping my family and friends who live far away to keep in touch.
