Must we?  <sigh>...

McDonald's compulsively perky clone-employee: "Hello, welcome to McDonald's,
can I take your order?"
Customer: "I'd like a Happy Meal and a diet SpaceSpritz, please."
McDonald's clone-employee: "'ju wan fries wid dat?"
Customer: "Excuse me?  I thought it came with fries?"
MCE: "Sorry, we have a genetic compulsion to ask that question every time we
take an order".
C: "Oh, I understand, no problem - uh, no, just the Happy Meal and drink,
thanks."
MCE: "That'll be fourteen seventy-two, please."
C: "Here you go."
MCE: "And here's your change."
C: "Thank you".
MCE: "You're quite welcome.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be back in a
flash.  And, if I may say so, sir/dam, I'm really quite Happy about this..."

Silence...followed by a bright flash of light and brief scream...followed
by...

Different MCE: "Here you are, sir/dam, your Happy meal and diet
SpaceSpritz."
C: "You're not the same person who waited on me earlier".
MCE: "Quite perceptive of you, sir/dam".
C: "Where is s/he?"
MCE (looking down at tray): "Wherever s/he is, I'm sure s/he's very
Happy..."
