With the lack of success getting a McDonald’s maple Danish the other day at my McD’s I decided to go for a super long walk out to the Kingsway after doing some dollar store shopping.
It is a full size location that is quite a long trek for me on a rainy day. I kept thinking, just get there and then you can rest your sore body for a while and try something new and different that you did not have to make yourself. It is the little things, right?
This McD’s has a lovely McCafe Bakery display case and I saw lots of Danishes and was so relieved.
The cashier gave me a combo so a small decaf coffee and Danish together would be only $2.82. A treat for under $3 is good with me.
They have a fancy display so you could see your number coming up. There was even one of those machines you can use to order food from the sidelines if you prefer.
I waited for a few minutes. My number was called. I saw my coffee but… no Danish. The woman behind the counter told me they are out of maple Danishes so I needed to pick another flavour. I said, no, I wanted my money back.
Bloody hell.
I tried giving her the receipt but she just reimbursed me for the Danish. I told her I was just there for the Danish so I did not want the coffee. She then gave me back all my money and told me someone there did not order enough Danishes so they ran out.
I know it may not seem like much but for me, this was quite heartbreaking. It was very physically difficult for me to get out to that location and I walked for miles in the rain just so I could write about that stupid Danish on my site. It reminds me how hard doing this stuff is for me. That being physically challenged with a brutal illness and trying to live like a normal person is next to impossible. But I am trying.
I walked home which was like torture, not getting a bit of a break like I intended. I walked by this tree which I see all the time but suddenly notice for the first time a fairy window at its base. So tiny, so cute. I wanted to walk inside the fairy world and leave everything behind for a while. Don’t worry, I know better than to eat anything on the other side. Bet THEY have maple Danishes.
Update: FINALLY found the maple apple Danish!
Yeah, I bet the fairies have maple danishes too! Maybe it will be third time lucky for you the next time you try? I hope so! And that bloody danish better be worth all this too!
Thankfully, in the end, the Danish was good but damn, too much work!
I now feel like I need to have one of these danishes on your behalf! Hopefully you’ll have some better luck soon!!
Thanks Marina! Finally found it. Third time was the charm.
You would think they would check stock before taking your money…and sorry for your wasted efforts! Hope you had a nice cup of something toasty to warm up when you got back! McD’s lost out on your review…
I think that’s what surprised me most Vicky, they made me pay for it before realizing they didn’t have any seems kind of ridiculous.
