Too busy to microwave your morning serving of saturated fat? No worries! If you’re a New Yorker, you can get your “special diet food” delivered right to your door. Or, um, your neighbors’ doors.
Our anonymous submitter can vouch for the note’s veracity. First of all, she says, the McDonalds is literally one block away from the apartment building. “But what’s worse,” she says, “is that the dude didn’t give his apartment number, so the delivery guy just started banging on random people’s doors and yelling ‘Scotty!’ in the hallway. At 7 AM!”

If Scotty would just repair the transporter, there would be no need call for delivery.

In Scotty’s defense, I have many times ordered delivery, told them my apartment number, and had them not give the apartment number to the delivery guy. I think maybe they expect the name to be posted, or there to be a doorman or something. Or they’re just dumb.

It’s not necessarily a McDonald’s Deleivery. Some Large cities have ToGo Taxi’s. Literally they will go anywhere you tell them and get whatever you ask of them and then bring it to you with an obvious percentage of cost for them based on cost and distance. It’s a pretty awesome thing when you are really craving somethign from some restaurant somewhere out of your realm of energy or time to go on your own. I have used them before, BUT, seriously? …fracking McDonalds?

So — he had the guy’s name, but not his apartment number or cell phone number?

I think there are bigger fish to fry here than apartment confusion and an obvious lack of a proper diet: what kind of grown-ass man refers to himself as Scotty?

Wouldn’t want to burn any calories walking a block to consume the fat-laden McBreakfast, would he?

It’s too bad that Scotty’s not a Stella. That would have been too funny: “Stella! Stella!”

Why didn’t someone just take one for the team? Say, “I’m Scotty!” give the guy $10 and tell him that for future reference, waking up an entire apartment building (except for Scotty who has probably passed out) could be dangerous for a loud-mouthed delivery person.

maybe it was a friend (or lover) who had gone to pick it up and then forgot which apartment he had just come out of . . .

Assuming this isn’t a prank, and frankly I think that’s most likely, I think the delivery guy was high.
I think the delivery guy should be getting the blame here: there is no excuse for yelling and banging on doors like that, regardless of the time of day. Either you call the customer or restaurant for the apartment number or you go back to the restaurant.
If the customer didn’t give the apartment number then it’s their fault. If the restaurant didn’t give the full address to the driver then it’s the restaurant’s fault. Either way, it does not make sense to make it the problem of everyone else in the building.

All this could have been avoided if Scotty boy could have taken the 5 min to cook his own damn egg (or less to microwave it) throw it on a bagel with some pre cooked bacon and a slice of pseudo cheese and microwaved it for 20 seconds like dear McD’s did.
Hey at a fraction of the cost. Imagine!

I’m not Scotty, but uh… I’m kinda hungry. I’d be more than happy to take that McMuffin off your hands.
