Great Stories of My Life - "Do You Have an Elevator?"
When I interned at Saturday Night Live, I used to have to do something called a "McDonald's run." Basically, a McDonald's run meant me and another intern (usually Jess Conrad) took orders from the writers and cast and went to the scariest McDonald's in the city.
At midnight.
This McDonald's had the craziest, angriest, homelessliest people in New York.
Now, keep in mind that, in Manhattan, most fast food restaurants have you order food downstairs and sit to eat upstairs.
Anyway, one day, this ancient woman orders a meal, takes her meal, and looks around. This woman therefore She walks back to the counter and asks, "I'm sorry, I can't walk up stairs. Do you have an elevator?"
The man behind the counter, lacking not sass, says, I quote, "Elevator? Pssh, this ain't Subway."
That was one of the greatest stories of my life.
