Staffer behind the McDonald’s Counter: What is that?
Me [finished putting coffee change in the Ronald McDonald House donation box]: You mean the donation box?
Staffer Yeh. I know it’s a donation box for Ronald McDonald House. I don’t know what Ronald McDonald House is.
Me: What are you thinking it is?
Staffer: A playground?
Staffer 2 at the register next to her [rolls her eyes]: It’s a place for homeless people. You should know that [to the staffer]
Me: Interesting. I always thought it was a place for the families of very ill children to stay so they can be together while the child’s being treated.
Staffer 2: It might be that too.
Me: Do a lot of people put money in this thing?
Staffer 2: Some do. They also put receipts and straw papers in there because we don’t have a trash by the counter.
Me: Well. This has been informative. See you later.
