Just Like That, 2 For $6

Burger King is currently running a special. Mix and match 2 for $5 for your choice of a Whopper, Original Chicken Sandwich, or Big Fish. So, on the way home from a little trip to Walmart the wife and I decided to stop and get something.
We decided on 2 of the Original Chicken Sandwiches.
Got to the window and I handed her a $20 bill to cover our total of $5.46. She handed us our bag of food through the window in a metal basket.
By the way, I get that this is supposed to be a "no touch" transaction, but someone had to touch the bag to fill it, and touch the bag to hand it to the drive through window, and it had to be touched again to put it into the basket.
Anywho... 
When she went to hand me my change, mind you via a small opening of about 12" since the window is mostly covered with a sheet of plexiglass, it forced the girl to maneuver to reach out and up into my truck.
As such my coins of 54 cents went clink, clink, clink, spilling onto the ground.
I said, "I think all my change is on the ground."
She smiled (I could tell by her eyes), said something inaudible (because I could not hear her through the mask and plexiglass), ducked back in and shut the window.
And just like that, my 2 for $5 meal became a 2 for $6 meal. I guess I can't count the 46 cents in tax. But still...

@porwest Yes but 54 cents could be used for something else or saved

Burger King stores are offering plant-based Whooper burgers here in Manila. Haven't tasted it but plant-based? Seriously?

Yeah. They have been doing that for a long time here. Many restaurants are following suit as well. I have actually had the Impossible Whopper, and I have to admit I really can't tell the difference between it and the meat one.
BUT, if I am going for a greasy hamburger, I want the real thing.

@porwest exactly! If it is a burger, it definitely has to be meat.

@allen0187 That's kind of the way I think about it, for sure.

I don't think I've ever been through a drive thru window where change wasn't spilled on the ground under the pay window. I think I even saw a whole dollar on the ground by Mcdonald's once.

You could have gotten out of the car and picked the change up. 
I'd have done just that. Let the people behind me wait. Unless the change went underneath the car. In that case it would be hard to do.

@lovebuglena In change? Probably somewhere around at least $3 or $4. There was a lot of change on the ground.

Regardless of the 14 cars, I would have picked up my change and the other change as well. I'm so tight I squeak.

That is a good deal... I got in on that a few times too. I know... same with gloves, people feel safer if the workers are wearing gloves, but I would counter that the gloves are only as clean as the stuff they touch while wearing them.....
