Now, I wasn't sure what a 'huge favor' meant to these guys...perhaps they wanted me to solicit some illegal drugs for them, or perhaps it was getting into their truck without screaming and frantically kicking. Anyway, I said, "What kind of favor?" (clever Jess).
They proceeded to ask me to go through the drive-through of Wendy's for them and buy their food, for which they would give me the money. Wendy's was now closed and wouldn't let them in, nor would it let them walk through the drive-through, and they couldn't possibly drive their giant truck, so I complied.
I finished filling my car and pulled around the corner to where the drive-through speaker box, and the trucker guys were situated. As I sat there in my car, they crouched over the box and shouted into the little speaker ordering heaps of food (as I said, they were big guys...hefty appetites). It didn't stop there though...they also made me order.
"Would you like something?" he asked.
"No thank you"
"Aw...come on. It would make us feel better" he insisted.
"No, that's alright"
"Seriously, what would you like?"
"Alright, I'll have a small frostie" I said, giving into his pleas.
"She'll have a small fry" he said into the speaker box. "Would you like something to drink as well?"
"A small frostie", I repeated.
"She'll have a frostie", he said into the speaker box. "What size?" he asked.
"Small", I stated for what I hoped to be the last time.
I pulled the car around to the little window where you pay, while my new friends walked alongside. They handed me the money, and I handed the money through the window. I drove up to the next window and the guys walked beside me. The Wendy's employee handed me the food through the window, I handed the food to the truckers, then they handed me my small fry and small frostie and I went on my way, but of course not without getting some photos. Ask to see the video sometime.
