An evening at McDonalds..

It was a nice Sunday evening when I went to Mc Donalds. Now of course there is nothing great about going to McD but the story is yet to come. Please keep reading…However this is just a request to the reader to keep reading and in no way I guarantee any intellectual stuff coming up. The reader is the sole guarantor of wasting his time. Coming back to the story so I was in McD and I ordered a Coke which I demanded to be chilled. Further I asked for some French fries. (This was an evening snack guys.. so I contended myself with just this much…) However I had to rush back soon for some urgent assignment. So I asked the guy how much time it would take for the French fries. As against my expectation, he said 3 minutes, which was just what I wanted. So I sat there waiting for my French fries to be delivered….three, four, five …ten minutes passed but I didn’t receive much awaited French Fries…Now I got restless. In normal scenario (i.e before coming to SPJAIN-PGPM…at time I was an MBA illiterate) I would have blasted the guy,got the Fries, ate it and would have been on my way to college…But what happened later was something serious…I sat there thinking about the entire conversation. I am sure as PGPMites  read they will understand the cause of my thought process….and Yes this is where is the punch of the story lies….so I would suggest the reader to continue reading…I assure it’s going to be interesting…

My thought process:

Events (thoughts)

I saw beautiful French fries poster displayed at the counter (This was an Invitation to offer)

I said: “I would like to have French fries” (Yeah this would be.. offer)

McD boy: Sure Mam (Promise with consideration/Agreement)

I said: But first tell me how long would it take for French fries (Implication of my law studies:-Conditions)

Mc D: Not more than three minutes Mam. (Here he got trapped……Finally the Qualified Acceptance)

I said: Ok. Get me one. (Contract)

This wasn’t the end guys…When I was not delivered the French fries in three minutes…I did thought of various sections and legal cases that could be acted upon the poor guy…I wasn’t sure if  he would ever understand my mental state…so I controlled all my emotions,got my pack of fries with me almost after 11.5 minutes and went on my way.

This is what a Business law class in an MBA curriculum does to you.….thanks to Prof. D.M. Damle for all his impressive lectures…We all just adore you sir!!
